Overview
- The New York Jets brought free agent Will Levis in for a workout on Thursday for what sources say would be a practice‑squad tryout.
- The audition is a low‑risk move because the Jets have veteran Geno Smith as their starter, rookie Cade Klubnik as the backup, and Bailey Zappe already on the practice squad.
- Levis was cut by the Tennessee Titans on Aug. 30 after missing last season with right‑shoulder surgery and he started 21 NFL games from 2023–24 with a 5–16 record and mixed passing numbers.
- The Jets also worked out quarterback Jack Plummer, showing the team is auditioning multiple veteran and fringe QBs to preserve short‑term depth before the regular season.
- If signed to the practice squad, Levis would get a chance to rehabilitate his value and potentially move to the active roster, while the Jets keep flexibility as they plan longer‑term quarterback options.
