Jets Work Out Will Levis and UFL MVP Jack Plummer

Team officials evaluated both quarterbacks for a practice‑squad spot, a move that could add depth or provide useful perspective ahead of New York’s Week‑1 game against the Titans.

Overview

  • The Jets hosted workouts for Will Levis and Jack Plummer on Thursday to assess them for a likely practice‑squad role.
  • Neither player signed with the team after the visits and both remain free agents for now.
  • Will Levis was cut by the Tennessee Titans after two uneven seasons and a recent shoulder surgery; he started 21 games with roughly 3,899 yards, 21 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions in his career.
  • Jack Plummer comes off a UFL MVP season with the Orlando Storm, throwing 2,188 yards and 17 touchdowns, but he has not taken a regular‑season snap in the NFL.
  • The workouts highlight the Jets’ short‑term plan to bolster quarterback depth behind starter Geno Smith and rookie Cade Klubnik and have prompted debate about whether the timing could yield tactical benefit before the Week‑1 meeting with Levis’ former team.
