Overview
- The Jets hosted Russell Wilson on Monday for a visit in Florham Park and are considering him as Geno Smith’s No. 2, according to multiple reports.
- Team officials sought Geno Smith’s input on potential backups, and he advocated for Wilson based on their time together in Seattle.
- Reporters from ESPN and The Athletic say there is mutual interest, but nothing is imminent and no contract has been announced.
- If Wilson signs, he would enter a quarterback room with rookie Cade Klubnik plus Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe, which could prompt a roster move.
- The visit included meetings with head coach Aaron Glenn, offensive coordinator Frank Reich and GM Darren Mougey, who said after the draft the team would reassess veteran options.
