David Fales
The signing of Joe Flacco to serve as Sam Darnold’s backup all but guaranteed Fales’ eventual release. However, with Flacco on the shelf to begin 2020, Fales will have one last chance to earn his roster spot in training camp.
Until Flacco returns, the No. 2 spot on the quarterback depth chart will go to either Fales or rookie James Morgan. Regardless of the result of the competition, Morgan is not going anywhere, so Fales’ future with the Jets ultimately comes down to whether or not they want to carry three quarterbacks to open the season. How he fares in training camp will play a major role in that decision.
