Would not have been a terrible move to get him for sure. I wonder if Mooge has something else up his sleeve or after giving up a pick on Geno just doesn't want to spend another one. Agreed on Tyrod not being a great option - too fragile.
Probably because Tanner McKee sucks. He played one good half of football against the 3-14 Giants and Jets fans were ready to give up the farm for him.
Just saw somewhere (think it may have been Cimini) that the Jets did have calls asking about trading for McKee and Mills and I think a couple of other guys, but the asking price was a 2nd rounder and Mougey passed. I think that’s the right call from Mougey but wouldn’t mind circling back…I’d be fine trading a 3rd and a later pick for Mills…McKee I’m not as sold on but was at least happy to hear that Mougey made the call
The idea of trading assets for a QB made a lot more sense before we went out and got a locked in 2026 starter. I mean at the end of the day we are talking about the backup QB for a team that likely isn't sniffing a playoff hunt. It is also a pretty good bet absolutely nobody a year from now is going to be sitting around suggesting we don't draft a shiny new QB prospect because we still have McKee or Mills waiting in the wings for an extended opportunity. Which would basically be the equivalent of throwing away yet another 3rd round pick in 2027 (as we don't have one this year to throw away). Looking at the list of leftover free agent QBs I'm almost tempted the guess the Jets might be content waiting till after the draft to pen in who the 2026 backup QB is. The ones who might actually sign here are probably pretty good bets to still be there.
