FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- With only 11 words, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson delivered a not-so-subtle message to general manager Joe Douglas.
"[We] need a backup quarterback," Johnson told reporters at the recent NFL Honors in Las Vegas. "We didn't have one last year."
Translation: Get rid of Zach Wilson and bring in a new understudy for Aaron Rodgers.
Half the GMs in the league will be in the QB2 market this offseason, setting the stage for a head-spinning carousel of change. The need outweighs the supply, so it will get expensive, but the Jets -- entrenched in win-now mode -- can't afford to scrimp.
