The New York Jets evaluate quarterback Will Levis following Tennessee Titans release
Summary

The Tennessee Titans waived quarterback Will Levis on Sunday as the NFL team finalized its 53-man roster. Levis, a former 33rd overall selection, is now subject to the league's waiver wire process. The New York Jets currently carry only two quarterbacks, Geno Smith and rookie Cade Klubnik, on their active roster. Klubnik faced challenges during the team's training camp and preseason schedule, prompting questions regarding the current depth behind Smith. As the team with the second-highest waiver priority, the New York Jets have a direct opportunity to claim Levis. Only the Las Vegas Raiders hold a higher priority, though they already roster Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza. The New York Jets face a decision on whether to add the 27-year-old quarterback to their roster before the season progresses.
