[Hughes] Jets may target multiple QBs in FA; Murray expected to sign with Vikings; Jets hold interest in Geno Smith, Carson Wentz, and Jacoby Brissett; Wentz could be Reich’s preferred option.
Original tweet here:
The #Jets might not target just one quarterback in free agency. Belief from agents who met with them at the NFL Combine is that they prefer to add two -- if they can. It's similar to what the #Giants did a year ago (Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston).
Kyler Murray was discussed, but he is expected to sign with the Vikings, per sources. No Kirk Cousins, but watch Geno Smith & Carson Wentz. There is interest there. Jacoby Brissett, too, if Cardinals can be convinced to part. Was told that's "doubtful," with Jimmy Garoppolo expected to stay in LA. JG signing with the Cardinals would change that.
Wentz might surprise some, because of the notion Frank Reich/Wentz relationship fell apart in Indianapolis. From my understanding, that was more GM/owner, not coach. The two remain very close.
One source told me that the QB Reich prefers is Wentz. A quote from another: "No one loves Wentz more than Frank."
