FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) The New York Jets’ starting quarterback job is up for grabs.
That means a three-man competition this spring – and maybe summer – between Josh McCown, Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg, with the winner under center for the regular-season opener. At least that’s the company line, as expected, at the moment.
”We’re giving everybody a great opportunity to show themselves,” new offensive coordinator John Morton said Tuesday, ”and see if they can be the starter.”
Coach Todd Bowles wouldn’t put a timetable on selecting a starter, adding that the competition is ”wide open” and might not be settled until training camp.
