Could the New York Jets backup plan be former backup quarterback AJ McCarron?

Parents always ask their kids, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Regardless of the child’s answer, the immediate follow-up response is, “You better have a backup plan.” I reiterate this same message to the New York Jets. Everyone’s sights are understandably on Kirk Cousins. It makes sense.

The Jets have a bunch of money, Cousins wants to be the highest paid player in NFL History, and the Jets have a need at quarterback, Cousins is a quarterback. A match made in heaven right?

Well, this isn’t Madden folks. Strange things happen all the time and there are several teams that will be bidding for his services.
