Fowler: My immediate sense after asking around is the Jets aren't overly eager to acquire a veteran at this stage, but they will at least look into it. In the short term, practice squad quarterback Tim Boyle can serve as the backup behind Zach Wilson. The Jets legitimately believe Wilson has improved this offseason while learning behind Rodgers and New York's coaching staff. But will it be enough? The defense and run game are strong enough to at least find out.

Beyond that, the free agent options are scarce but intriguing. Carson Wentz has been working out and staying fresh, waiting for the call. Joe Flacco did a good job as the Jets' backup last season and is available.
