Former Broncos QB Russell Wilson reportedly remains a free-agent option and could remain in the New York area, with the Jets hosting him for a visit as they consider him as Geno Smith’s No. 2 quarterback. The report notes that Smith was open to multiple backup options and was excited about the possibility of Wilson joining the team. Wilson played for the New York Giants in 2025, starting three games before being benched in favor of rookie Jaxson Dart. This development follows prior discussions between Wilson and the Jets before the draft. Key takeaway: Wilson is exploring opportunities with AFC teams, and the Jets’ interest positions him as a potential veteran backup option.
