Jets HC Aaron Glenn said the team is talking to a “number of veteran quarterbacks.”

Glenn said he has no update on where things currently stand between the Jets and Russell Wilson, who is reportedly weighing his options between signing with the Jets as a backup or walking away from football to take on a media job. Wilson, 37, threw for 831-3-3 in six games with the Giants last season while completing a career worst 58 percent of his passes. With his best days clearly behind him, if a backup job with the Jets is the best he can get, he could opt to call it a career. If he did sign with the Jets, he would be the early favorite to open 2026 as the team’s QB2 behind Geno Smith.
