As we mentioned the other day, the Jets brought QB Matt Flynn<\/a><\/strong> in for a physical. It seems very likely that the Jets will bring in a veteran QB. At a minimum the veteran can take some reps during training camp and could serve as the early season backup, behind Ryan Fitzpatrick. This could all change if the Jets believe that Geno Smith could return on the shorter side of his 6 to 10 week timeline.<\/p>\n

Todd Bowles spoke about the quarterback situation today after practice. Bowles indicated that the Jets are looking at several options and they aren’t in a rush. He also commented that they could wait to see, “what shakes free.”<\/p>\n

Speaking about Matt Flynn specifically, Bowles had this to say “We haven\u2019t ruled in or out anything yet. We\u2019re still talking to him and we\u2019ll see how it goes.”<\/p>\n

There was talk that the Jets are holding off on signing a veteran QB to get Bryce Petty more reps early in camp. Here is how Bowles answered that question:<\/p>\n

Yeah, you want him to get as many reps as he can. Like I said, he can\u2019t get reps by holding a clipboard on the sideline, so its preseason. As long as his recognition gets better every week and he understands and he calms down a little bit, he\u2019ll be fine. We knew it was a process, but he can\u2019t play if he\u2019s on the sideline.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
