The New York Jets are considering a potential trade for a backup quarterback from the Philadelphia Eagles as Cade Klubnik has not performed well enough to secure the QB2 position behind Geno Smith. Insider Connor Hughes suggests that the Jets could look toward Andy Dalton or Tanner McKee, both of whom are available. Klubnik, who completed 62% of his passes during preseason without a touchdown, failed to impress in his three games. Head coach Aaron Glenn mentioned ongoing evaluation of Klubnik's readiness as the team prepares for the regular season. The Jets previously looked into acquiring McKee but may find the asking price has changed as his preseason performance declined.
