Jets expected to add a veteran QB this offseason

The New York Jets hired Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator on Thursday, sparking questions about whether Aaron Rodgers will come with the deal. With the Zach Wilson Experience on the back burner, Hackett's previous experience with Rodgers is an intriguing option for a team desperate for a starting-caliber QB. Head coach Robert Saleh said on Thursday that the team is committed to bringing in a veteran QB but didn't get into any names.

"The quarterback position was the #1 concern. We're committed to finding a veteran."
