Jets Meet with 10-Time Pro Bowl QB Russell Wilson as Backup Consideration

The New York Jets met with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson late Monday at their facility, considering him as a potential backup. Wilson, 37, is a free agent after one season with the New York Giants, where he was benched after three starts. Coach Aaron Glenn has named Geno Smith the starter, but the Jets lack experienced backup options. Smith advocated for Wilson, with whom he played in Seattle from 2020-2021. GM Darren Mougey, who was with the Broncos when Wilson was traded there, along with Glenn and OC Frank Reich, met with Wilson. No contract is imminent.
