Jets explore trade for Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe amid roster competition

Summary

The New York Jets are considering a trade for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe. Reports suggest that the Jets view Milroe as a potential backup to Geno Smith, who is firmly positioned as the starter. Milroe, 23, was a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft and won a Super Bowl as a backup in his rookie season. As the Seahawks prepare for a competitive training camp with tighter roster spots, Milroe's role appears uncertain due to the presence of starter Sam Darnold and backup Drew Lock. The Jets could leverage Milroe’s athletic ability and dual-threat potential in their offensive schemes.
