New York Jets
With Ryan Fitzpatrick and Geno Smith both slated to become free agents and likely to move on, New York has a glaring need at the quarterback position. Bryce Petty proved absolutely nothing in limited playing time last season. Meanwhile, 2016 second-round pick Christian Hackenberg didn’t see the field at all.
That’s an amazing realization to come to, especially considering New York’s quarterbacks threw a combined 16 touchdowns compared to 25 interceptions. Simply put, the Jets’ brass didn’t have faith in the high-round pick taking regular-season snaps. That should tell us a story about how the team feels about him.
Also important to note here, the Jets just recently hired Jeremy Bates to be their new quarterbacks coach. He worked with Cutler in both Denver and Chicago, which only adds more fuel to the fire here.
New York would have to make room for Cutler under the cap if it were to pull off a trade for the veteran. The team currently sits just $3 million under the cap. Though, that could change if the Jets were to release Darrelle Revis after his recent off-field incident.
