3 under-the-radar options to fill the NY Jets void at QB in 2023

1. The NY Jets could target Jacoby Brissett

This is admittedly the most unexciting option on this list, but the soon-to-be free agent makes sense for one clear reason. Jacoby Brissett has proven to be a competent NFL starter.

Long considered to be one of the best backup options in the league, Brissett performed admirably in his 11 starts in Cleveland this season. He has a career quarterback rating of 84, holds a 61% career completion percentage, and has the track record to expect 18-21 touchdowns and 7-10 interceptions if given the starting reigns over a full season.

This certainly won't place him amongst the NFL's elite, nor will it garner All-Pro or Pro-Bowl consideration, but consider what an improvement it would be over the Jets' 2022 quarterback play.

This season, Wilson has posted a 72 quarterback rating and 54.5% completion percentage. In his nine appearances, he has also thrown just six touchdowns with seven interceptions.

White, on the other hand, has recorded a 75 QB rating and a 58.9% completion mark. Despite the fanfare, the former fifth-round pick has posted just three touchdowns and four interceptions over his four starts.

Mind you, all of this has led the Jets to a 7-9 record and a real, late-season shot at the postseason. A professional with Brissett's track record would be a noticeable improvement over the abysmal Jets' QB play. The 30-year-old Brissett would make the playoffs an even more likely possibility in 2023 and beyond.
