The New York Jets face an uncertain future at quarterback for the 2025 season, leading to speculation about potential acquisitions. One name gaining traction is Carson Wentz, the Kansas City Chiefs' backup and former Philadelphia Eagles starter. Alternatively, the Jets may seek a younger option to develop under head coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey. Tanner McKee, the Eagles' third-string QB, is a candidate that fits this mold.

At just 24, McKee has shown promise, throwing two touchdowns in limited action during his rookie season. However, acquiring him would necessitate a trade, as he is under contract for two more years with Philadelphia. The Eagles' GM, Howie Roseman, has a history of moving young QBs with a starter in place, making this scenario plausible.
