No one should be saying Joe Burrow will be the next New York Jets quarterback — let’s get that out of the way first. But when Adam Schefter, arguably the most plugged-in insider in football, doesn’t completely rule something out, fans are inevitably going to notice.
During a recent appearance on ESPN's "Get Up" on Thursday, Schefter mentioned how teams, specifically the Jets, are now stockpiling assets to prepare for unexpected opportunities. Schefter referred to it as an AFC East "arms race," also mentioning the Miami Dolphins.
Fellow analyst and noted Jets fan Mike Greenberg asked Schefter about the possibility of the Cincinnati Bengals' star quarterback somehow becoming available and a realistic option for the Jets, and Schefter didn’t exactly shut it down.
