The New York Jets are viewed as a possible landing spot for veteran quarterback Jake Browning. Browning recently became a free agent after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he lost the backup job to Jalon Daniels. Following his release, Browning declined an offer to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad. The Jets currently have Geno Smith as their starter, with rookie Cade Klubnik serving as the primary backup and Bailey Zappe on the practice squad. Analysts suggest the team may seek additional veteran experience to stabilize the position. Klubnik is expected to remain the backup for Week 1 despite limited NFL experience, as the team addresses concerns regarding the depth chart behind their starting signal-caller.
