Jets adding a new QB: Titans cast-off Will Levis set to sign with New York's practice squad, per report
The New York Jets have decided to add some insurance at the quarterback position and they did that on Tuesday by signing Will Levis to the practice squad, according to The Ringer . The Jets actually showed some interest in Levis earlier this month. After the former second-round pick got cut by the Titans on Aug. 30, the Jets brought him in for a tryout just a few days later, and although they didn't sign him at the time, they clearly liked what they saw, because they're signing him now. To make room for Levis on the practice squad, the Jets will be releasing Bailey Zappe . Aaron Glenn has made it clear that Geno Smith is the starter, but the backup situation is a little murkier. Cade Klubnik is QB2 in New York, but he's a rookie, so the Jets likely wanted to make sure they had another QB with some starting experience on the roster. In that sense, Levis fits the bill perfectly. The former Titans quarterback has been in the NFL since 2023 and he's started a total of 21 games over the past three seasons. The Titans were hoping that Levis, who was the 33rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft , would eventually be their franchise quarterback, but he never quite developed into that. Although Levis showed plenty of flashes, he was never consistent. In his first start ever for the Titans back in 2023, he threw four touchdown passes, which tied the NFL record for most passing touchdowns in an NFL debut. The problem for Levis is that he only threw four more touchdowns over the rest of a season that saw him start eight more games. The Titans handed him the starting QB job heading into the 2024 season, but he wasn't able to hold on to it. In the first five starts that year, he only threw for more than 200 yards in one game while throwing seven interceptions. The Titans finally benched him and after Week 15 after a game where he turned the ball over four times. After finishing with the worst record in the NFL in 2024, the Titans used the first overall pick to select Levis' eventual replacement in Cam Ward . Levis spent the 2025 season on the Titans' bench, and at that point, it was pretty clear that his time in Tennessee was going to be coming to an end. He ended his Titans career with a 5-16 record in 21 starts. In New York, the 27-year-old Levis will have exactly zero pressure on him. The Jets will likely be hoping that Levis can be a good influence on Klubnik in the QB room

Will Levis Signing With Jets' Practice Squad
Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis is signing with the New York Jets' practice squad on Tuesday, sources told Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. Levis started 21 games for the Titans before missing all of last year with a shoulder injury. He will take the place of Bailey Zappe, who is being released this week. The 27-year-old Levis was drafted in the second round by the Titans in 2023 from Kentucky. In his 21 starts over two seasons in Tennessee, he struggled with decision-making and accuracy, completing 61% of his pass attempts for 3,899 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. Levis also added 70 rushing attempts for 240 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He has plenty of arm strength at the QB position, but Levis has quickly become a backup option after a few seasons in the NFL. In New York, he will be the third QB option on the roster behind veteran starter Geno Smith and rookie Cade Klubnik

Will Levis, Jack Plummer worked out for Jets on Thursday
The Jets are looking at adding another quarterback to their broader roster. According to Zack Rosenblatt of TheAthletic.com, New York worked out Will Levis and Jack Plummer for a spot on the practice squad on Thursday. Levis, a second-round pick in 2023, was waived by the Titans as part of their roster cuts over the weekend and went unclaimed. While he missed the 2025 season due to injury, he started 21 games for Tennessee from 2023-2024, completing 61.0 percent of his passes for 3,899 yards with 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Plummer is the UFL’s reigning MVP, having won it for his season with the Orlando Storm. He led the UFL with 2,188 passing yards while tossing 17 touchdowns with just one interception in 10 games. He previously spent time with the Panthers and worked out for the 49ers and Dolphins this summer. New York currently has just rookie Cade Klubnik on its 53-man roster at quarterback behind starter Geno Smith. Veteran Bailey Zappe is on the team’s practice squad

Jets plan to stick with Cade Klubnik as their backup QB
The Jets did not claim a quarterback off of waivers on Monday and it doesn’t sound like they plan to make a move to acquire one via another avenue. Rookie Cade Klubnik made the cut to the 53-man roster as the only backup to Geno Smith and head coach Aaron Glenn said at a Monday press conference that the team plans to stick with the fourth-round pick as their No. 2 at the position. “He’s our backup quarterback and he’ll do a good job,” Glenn said. Klubnik was 21-of-34 for 190 yards and an interception in his preseason action. He was a three-year starter at Clemson, but landed in the fourth round after his production dropped in his final college season

"Both are 1-1 this preseason. The Jets had won four straight games in the series until a 31-12 "road" loss last year — Gang Green is the designated home team this time. No word on starters on either side, but I often prefer a quarterback competition when backing a team in the preseason. Geno Smith is the unquestioned Jets starter, but the battle for No. 2 is between Brady Cook and rookie Cade Klubnik — Klubnik clearly is in the lead as the former Clemson star has looked excellent. Again, I'm not sure why the "home" team is getting more than a field goal if any points."

"No doubt the Fins have looked terrible so far in blowout losses to the Commanders and Giants. Wouldn't first-year head coach Jeff Hafley want to enter the season with a modicum of momentum? It's a homecoming for Tua Tagovailoa as he will start under center for the Falcons while being paid about $1.5 million this season by them and $52.5 million by his former Fins team. Michael Penix, meanwhile, will not play. Atlanta has just one preseason win in the past 10, although it was last week." Bet the Dolphins at DraftKings here and claim $200 in bonus bets after making a $5+ wager as a new user : "Wisconsin transfer Billy Edwards Jr was named the starter in Bobby Petrino's new UNC offense, and all I ask of the senior is that he works on not turning the ball over," SportsLine expert Micah Roberts said. "It may sound like a simple task, but the QB position at North Carolina turned the ball over too much last season. If they actually score on offense, that will be a bonus, and Bill Belichick's defense will handle the rest. The defense isn't the problem; it should be the star of the team. They just need the offense to stay patient and, once in a while, make some noise with a couple of scores. I'm betting Belichick slows the game down in Ireland and stays close with the chance to win."
