ORLANDO, Fla. — Josh McCown is the Jets’ starting quarterback. For now.
Todd Bowles said Tuesday that McCown will start but wouldn’t rule out somebody replacing him. Who would take over is a mystery. It could be Teddy Bridgewater, Christian Hackenberg, Bryce Petty or a 2018 first-round draft pick.
“Josh will go into it as the starter, and by the end of training camp, we’ll see who the starter is,” Bowles said at the NFL owners’ meetings. “It’s competition at every position, even with the two young safeties. Whether it’s Leonard Williams or anybody else, everybody has competition going in.
