Important decisions lie ahead for Joe Douglas with free agency looming.
The Jets made some progress in 2021, but Robert Saleh still needs more talent to work with. New York enters the offseason with holes on both sides of the ball and free agency is the perfect time to address some of them.
Zach Wilson is Gang Green’s hopeful franchise quarterback of the future. He endured his fair share of ups and downs as a rookie, but showed key signs of progress in the final month of the regular season.
He also missed time with an injury that left the Jets to turn to their backups.
Joe Flacco, Josh Johnson and Mike White all saw time while Wilson was on the shelf with an ankle injury. Johnson finished 2021 with the Ravens, while Flacco and White are set to hit free agency — White as an exclusive rights free agent. That leaves the Jets needing to fill the No. 2 spot on their quarterback depth chart.
Here are seven signal-callers New York could target to serve as Wilson’s backup in 2022.
