FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets' quarterback depth chart offers a juicy storyline on each tier, starting on top with Aaron Rodgers and his saga, followed by 2021 No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson and his descent into quarterback purgatory. There's room for one more arm, raising the possibility of a developmental prospect being picked in the NFL draft.
The Jets prefer to carry three quarterbacks on the roster because of the inherent value of the position. As coach Robert Saleh likes to say, "They're like gold." They certainly consider Rodgers a precious metal, which explains their willingness to wait out the Green Bay Packers on protracted trade talks.
