Derek Carr To Meet With Jets

Feb 17, 2023 3:11 PM

Derek Carr will visit with the New York Jets.

Carr was released by the Las Vegas Raiders this week just before more than $40 million of his contract became guaranteed. Carr declined to waive his no-trade clause.

The Jets used first-round picks on Mark Sanchez (2009), Sam Darnold (2018) and Zach Wilson (2021) but never achieved stability at the position.

Woody Johnson said recently that quarterback was the "missing piece" and that he would "absolutely" pay big bucks to acquire a veteran.

Brock Purdy Jumps To No. 4 In ESPN's 2022 Redraft, Sauce Gardner No. 1

Feb 7, 2023 10:39 AM

ESPN has Brock Purdy jumping from 262nd overall to fourth in their redraft of the 2022 NFL Draft.

The San Francisco 49ers selected Purdy with the final pick in the draft and he emerged as a productive starting quarterback following the injury to Jimmy Garoppolo.

The New York Jets owned the fourth overall pick and selected Sauce Gardner, who went first overall in ESPN's redraft, and instead get a quarterback to replace Zach Wilson here. Wilson was the No. 2 pick in 2021 and does not appear to be a starting quarterback in the future.

Aaron Rodgers Praises Nathaniel Hackett, Adding To Jets Speculation

Feb 1, 2023 8:38 AM

Aaron Rodgers discussed his relationship with Nathaniel Hackett during a Tuesday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

Hackett, who was recently hired by the New York Jets, was the offensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers when Rodgers won MVP awards in 2020 and 2021.

"Love Hack. Hack is my guy. Love him and Megan and the kids," Rodgers said. "They're really special to me. We really bonded when he was in Green Bay. He made it fun. He made the room fun. He made the weeks fun."

Rodgers made it clear he hasn't made a decision about his football future, but the quarterback had been linked to the Jets in rumors even before Hackett was hired.
