Reacting during a mid-game NFL game are New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
The New York Jets now have more options going into the 2024 NFL Draft thanks to all of the free agency transactions.
According to Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report, selecting a quarterback with the No. 10 overall choice is one major red button that the green and white shouldn’t push.
“The Jets don’t need a quarterback in the first round, as is abundantly clear. There is a chance, though, that the Jets would be enticed to plan for a quarterback after [Aaron] Rodgers. The Jets are in a position where Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr. might be selected in the first round, according to Tansey’s explanation in a column that was published on Monday, April 8. “Even though the Jets are still plagued by the struggles of their backup quarterbacks in 2023, they are not concerned about the future.”
According to Spotrac, the No. 10 overall pick is expected to sign a $21.3 million rookie contract.
Top Arguments Against the Jets Selecting Any of These QB Prospects
The Jets “will have the oldest quarterback room in the league” by 2024, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.
Tansey cited their ages as one of the main arguments against Nix and Penix being signed by the Jets.
Penix is twenty-three, and he will turn twenty-four before the 2024 season begins. Nix, however, turned 24 years old in February. From 2018 to 2023, Penix participated in six seasons of collegiate football. From 2019 to 2023, Nix participated in five seasons of collegiate football.
Although experience is undoubtedly a desirable attribute, NFL teams are more interested in upside. One may argue that because Nix and Penix have been around for so long, you already know who they are.
The amount of time each player may play in the NFL would be limited if they were to trail Rodgers for at least a year. Even in the worst-case scenario, the Jets should stay away from them since they are both built to play now, according to Tansey.
Jets Completed Assignments for This QB Course: Insider
Gang Green “have done quarterback work,” according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, who disclosed this information to Jets club reporter Eric Allen before to April’s draft.
“In the first round, do they select one quarterback? I have no idea who will attend. “We know that can work if a top guy they really like is there and they could, oh, I don’t know, sit him for two years behind one of the greatest players ever,” Rapoport stated. Thus, if they have a favorite quarterback… Rodgers would probably approach things differently now than he did in the beginning of his career.
The greatest victory a team can have is if the Jets win and it turns out to be what Jordan Love is now in Green Bay. To obtain Rodgers, you don’t need to follow their lead. I think there could be a possibility if the appropriate man is there.
