The New York Jets have seemingly put all of their eggs in the Aaron Rodgers basket, but what if the reported trade that will send him from Green Bay to New York doesn’t actually happen?
Rodgers has made it clear that it’s the Jets or retirement. But if the Packers remain bullish in demanding a first-round pick in exchange for the four-time league MVP, Colin Cowherd believes the Jets have the perfect backup plan already on their roster.
“I think the Jets have a great backup plan: start Zach Wilson and go get one of the two great quarterbacks next year,” Cowherd said on a recent episode of “The Herd.” “It’s just one year. That’s a great backup plan. Andrew Luck was a can’t-miss. Trevor Lawrence, to me, was a can’t-miss. Caleb Williams, to me, looks pretty close to a can’t-miss. We probably need to see a little more of Drake Maye, but he looks special.”
