Jets QB McCown weighs issues about his future

There are many factors surrounding the future of Jets quarterback Josh McCown and whether or not he will return for the 2018 season.

But one major reason for his possible retirement is whether McCown wants to stay closer to his family in Waxahachie, Texas.

McCown has a close relationship with Jon Kitna, a former NFL quarterback who is the Waxahachie High School football coach, and there is a desire for their sons to eventually play together.

But according to the Sporting News, Kitna interviewed for an undetermined position with the Bengals. In the last year, Kitna has dealt with some issues with the Waxahachie school district which included one of his assistant coaches resigning for his involvement in a player getting injured.
