As the 2017 NFL season ended for the New York Jets, the depth chart featured a starting quarterback in Bryce Petty, a bust in former second-rounder Christian Hackenberg and an injured veteran who was more coach than player in Josh McCown. The Jets' 2017 season ended with no clear-cut answer at quarterback. Now the 2018 season starts with a surplus at the position.
Petty is gone—released and signed by the Miami Dolphins. Hackenberg is out of the league—traded to the Oakland Raiders in May after two seasons in which he never saw a regular-season snap, and then released by Oakland.
