A couple of weeks before he announced his retirement in early June, quarterback Russell Wilson<\/strong> claimed that the Jets made him a suggestion in free agency. Had he signed with the Jets, Wilson would have slotted in behind starter Geno Smith<\/strong>, his backup in Seattle from 2020-21. But it surely doesn\u2019t appear there was any real likelihood of that taking place, as Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic<\/a> writes that talk of the Jets making a suggestion to the 10-time Pro Bowler \u201cwas overblown.\u201d<\/p>\n Wilson now works for CBS, leaving Bailey Zappe<\/strong>, Brady Cook<\/strong> and fourth-round rookie Cade Klubnik<\/strong> to compete for the Jets\u2019 No. 2 job in training camp. If no one from that trio seizes the role, Titans signal-caller Will Levis<\/strong> might be a reputation to look at for the Jets in a trade for a late-round pick or on the waiver wire, per Rosenblatt<\/a>.<\/p>\n Levis was the thirty third overall selection in 2023, but he didn’t live as much as his draft status over his first couple of years and fell out of favor in Tennessee. The Titans bailed on Levis as a starter once they drafted Cam Ward<\/strong> first overall in 2025. Ward is locked into the position, while Levis will fight to make the roster after missing all of last season with a shoulder injury. Unfortunately for Levis, he has no shot at winning the No. 2 gig after the Titans added Mitchell Trubisky<\/strong> on a two-year, $10.5MM pact in free agency. In addition they brought in Hendon Hooker<\/strong> as a possible third-stringer, further calling Levis\u2019 future with the franchise into query.<\/p>\n A pair more notes from the AFC\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A couple of weeks before he announced his retirement in early June, quarterback Russell Wilson claimed that the Jets made him a suggestion in free agency.
