Cimini continues: “they appear willing to chalk up last season to a dysfunctional situation in Las Vegas.” Cimini’s overview of the Jets quarterback situation hits all the notes we’ve been on in the blurb streets over the past month: Carson Wentz is viewed as the most likely preference of the free agents, Kyler Murray should have better options, and Jacoby Brissett has ties to both Frank Reich and Aaron Glenn while his availability via trade isn’t easily sussed out. But this is yet another Jets beat who believes Smith and the Jets could be on a course for a reunion.
