The Jets are running a terrible backup plan behind Geno Smith, relying on fourth-round rookie Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook. C-Lo returns with updates on Cruz walking in the White Sox win in eleven, a pissed-off Aaron Boone, and Luis Robert Jr lifting the Mets past the Marlins. Plus, Mookie Wilson admits on the Carton show he didn't want to be up in big spots, and Gio claims Rami's day off to see Mumford & Sons was a total weather bust.

Second-round pick D'Angelo Ponds is sidelined with a strained calf, but head coach Aaron Glenn says it is not serious. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Mazi Smith left practice with a hamstring injury. On a brighter note, No. 2 overall pick David Bailey flashed his incredible closing speed to pressure Geno Smith, though right tackle Armand Membou got the better of him on a strong blocking rep shortly after.GM Darren Mougey indicated that contract extensions are on hold for now after locking up Breece Hall and Joe Tippmann in the offseason, stating the team is in a good spot. All eyes are on the backup quarterback race. Fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik is the early favorite, though he tossed a deflected interception on Wednesday. He'll have to hold off veteran Bailey Zappe, and management hasn't ruled out adding another veteran down the road.Finally, both Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey addressed Mazi Smith's recent off-field situation that went viral on social media and resulted in no police charges. Glenn called it a distraction but praised Smith's accountability, emphasizing that the organization stands behind him 100%. This is a public episode.

The Tiki Time Machine goes back to the Jets drafting Geno Smith in 2013, and the old WFAN reactions are stunning in hindsight. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash revisit takes from Boomer Esiason, Craig Carton, Joe Benigno, Mike Francesa and a much younger Evan, then decide Francesa came closest to identifying the pick for what it really was: a second-round gamble on a quarterback the Jets did not truly love. The archives also uncover a young Tommy Lugauer receiving an on-air assignment from Boomer and Carton before delivering a polished sports minute on J.R. Smith. The nostalgia leads back to a familiar Jets problem, as Geno Smith's draft-day slide is compared to Cade Klubnik and the impossible criticism teams face when deciding how long to wait on a quarterback.
Geno Smith is barely into training camp, and Tiki Barber is already demanding that Cade Klubnik remain a real option if the veteran struggles. Evan Roberts pushes back on the rush toward a fourth-round rookie, but the debate exposes how little confidence surrounds the Jets' quarterback situation. Aaron Glenn declares there will be no slogans or hype after his difficult first season, while Garrett Wilson insists the Jets have a special opportunity to play meaningful football into the winter. Evan and Tiki also examine the massive collection of premium draft picks invested in Breece Hall, Wilson, the offensive line and the tight end room. After years near the bottom of the NFL, there are no excuses left for another dysfunctional Jets offense.
The Jets finally appear to have enough offensive talent to escape years of misery, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber agree everything depends on Geno Smith. Evan sees a potential playoff formula built around Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, an improved offensive line and Frank Reich, while Tiki fears Geno's recent turnovers and offseason distractions could wreck the entire plan. Their biggest disagreement centers on rookie Cade Klubnik. Tiki believes the fourth-round pick should get a legitimate chance if he outplays Geno, but Evan argues the Jets' most realistic path to surprising the league requires Smith to rediscover his Seattle form. With the franchise chasing its first top-half offense since 2015, the quarterback decision could determine whether the Jets finally escape the abyss.
Robert Saleh is reportedly predicting that Tennessee will beat the Jets in Week 1, and Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash immediately turn his trash talk into bulletin-board material. With Garrett Wilson preparing to catch passes from yet another quarterback and Cade Klubnik already generating training camp buzz, the Jets' endless search for stability remains impossible to ignore. The bigger concern is Aaron Glenn's defense. Eight new starters, questions about the overall talent and Glenn taking over the play-calling create enormous pressure for a team that may finally have enough offensive weapons to surprise people. The conversation then turns to a franchise-changing possibility: abandoning the rookie-quarterback cycle and pursuing Baker Mayfield if he ever becomes available.
The Jets have invested heavily in their offense, but everything still hinges on Geno Smith. Evan Roberts believes a strong offensive line, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson and Frank Reich give the Jets a legitimate path toward meaningful football in the winter. Tiki Barber is far less convinced, questioning whether the 36-year-old quarterback can overcome his recent turnovers and offseason distractions. Their disagreement quickly turns to rookie Cade Klubnik. Tiki insists the fourth-round pick deserves a real opportunity if he outplays Geno, while Evan argues the Jets' most realistic chance of surprising the league requires Smith to rediscover his Seattle form. They also react to Aaron Glenn's new approach, Garrett Wilson predicting a special season and the staggering amount of premium draft capital the Jets have spent trying to build a functioning offense.
Robert Saleh is reportedly promising that Tennessee will beat the Jets in Week 1, and Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash are ready to put his trash talk on the bulletin board. The challenge for Aaron Glenn is proving this Jets team can match its offensive talent with a defense featuring eight new starters and a head coach staking his reputation on his own play-calling. The quarterback debate remains impossible to escape. Geno Smith enters camp with questions, Cade Klubnik is already generating buzz, and the possibility of pursuing Baker Mayfield sparks a larger argument about whether the Jets should finally abandon their failed quarterback-development cycle. The Tiki Time Machine then revisits WFAN's reaction to the 2013 Geno Smith draft pick, revealing which hosts nailed the moment and how little the franchise's quarterback conversation has changed.
* Injury Updates: T'Vondre Sweat (DT) was placed on the active/non-football injury (NFI) list due to a hamstring issue, though it is not considered serious. Tim Patrick (WR) and Tyler Baron (EDGE) were both placed on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list—Baron continuing his recovery from the knee injury that put him on injured reserve last December, while Patrick is not expected to miss an extended period.* Under-the-Radar Watch: Keep a close eye on linebacker Kiko Mauigoa (#51), who is standing out as a player to watch during camp.* Quarterback Watch: All eyes are locked on Cade Klubnik as the quarterback room takes shape.* Wide Receiver Reps: Monitoring the wide receiver rotation closely, particularly looking at Omar Cooper Jr. getting reps with the first team compared to AD Mitchell.* Roster & Waiver Wire: Keeping a close watch on the waiver wire as a potential avenue for the Jets to address depth at both quarterback and linebacker.

With rookies and veterans all checked in at 1 Jets Drive, we’re now just hours away from the New York Jets first practice of the 2026 season getting under way. JetNation will be present for every practice with wall to wall coverage for every session. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/73219233/download.mp3 As is the case with every club, every season, the Jets will have battles up and down the roster on both sides of the ball. Surprisingly, for a team that just had the second pick in the draft and isn’t expected to make much noise this season, Gang Green is set with their starters at almost every spot. Most of the battles this year will be taking place for second and third-string jobs. QB2: If the Jets decide to keep just two quarterbacks then you’d have to imagine Cade Klubnik will be given every chance to win the backup job. If they opt to keep three QB’s so there’s an experienced backup on the roster, they may give Bailey Zappe the nod early on or even look to add another QB via trade or free agency. WR2: We like AD Mitchell’s chances to win the job opposite Garrett Wilson with Omar Cooper Jr. Getting plenty of run as well. If Tim Patrick stays healthy he could be WR4 with Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith rounding out the group. ILB3/4: DeMario Davis and Jamien Sherwood should win the starting jobs but based on how Mykal Walker played at the end of last season, he may beat out incumbent Marcelino McCrary-Ball. Kiko Mauigoa, one of Darren Mougey’s draft picks last year, should be safe. Safety: This is one of the more interesting groups on the roster due to the presence of Minkah Fitzpatrick whose role is still unknown. If he’s going to be used as a chess piece who goes between true safety, slot and in the box, it could impact who is on the field with him at the same time. Malachi Moore was decent as a rookie last season and could win a starting job but don’t rule out Dean Belton who could be a sneaky good signing. You could even make a case for seeing Andre Cisco winning a job. Lots of questions, not many answers…yet. CB2: His hefty contract all but guarantees Brandon Stephens a serious edge to win the team’s CB1 job while Azareye’h Thomas, Nahshon Wright and possibly D’Angelo Ponds could battle it out for the second spot. If Aaron Glenn feels Ponds is far and away the best slot on the roster it may keep him away from the boundary, leaving Thomas and Wright to battle it out. K: Jason Sanders will go head-to-head with Cade York and has to be the favorite as one of the leagues best kickers just a couple of years ago with Miami. LS: Incumbent Thomas Hennessy should be the favorite to beat out undrafted free agent Garrison Grimes. Unless of course Grimes was hand picked by special teams coach Chris Banjo.The post Jets Camp Kicking off; Taking a Look at Positional Battles appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

The Jets become the center of the bold prediction debate as callers envision Aaron Glenn leading a winning season and Cade Klubnik emerging as the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and the crew weighs how quickly Klubnik would need to replace Geno Smith for that stunning scenario to become possible.
With Geno Smith entrenched as the New York Jets starting quarterback this season, some fans are starting to wonder if Gang Green should be looking to add a more established backup. Bailey Zappe is currently viewed as the team’s second QB and rookie Cade Klubnik will get every shot to take that job out of camp. But should a more proven veteran option be on the table? https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/72749944/download.mp3 For a team unlikely to make the playoffs, parting with any assets to deal for a quarterback who will do nothing to change the trajectory of the season would make little sense. Even if it’s a late-round pick, what could that possibly bring in return. The Jets would be better off letting their current backups battle it out and hope Klubnik wins the job. However, if Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn believe their team will make a playoff push and an more experienced backup would be desirable, here are the options they’d be looking at. Cooper Rush: Rush is a free agent who some suggested the Jets may pursue in previous weeks and might be the best of a bad bunch. The former Cowboy and Raven has a 9-7 record in sixteen career starts. Anthony Richardson: The Colts former first-round pick has been given permission to seek a trade but he’s been terrible as a pro up to this point and the asking price for Richardson is unknown. Jimmy Garoppolo: If Garoppolo is looking to return to the NFL, landing a backup job is the best he could hope for given his injury history. Tanner McCkee: McKee is in a crowded QB room in Philadelphia and a deal would make sense if he were viewed as a possible long-term backup, but the reported asking price of a second-round pick should turn the Jets off if true. Will Levis: A former second-round pick (33rd overall), Levis lost his job to first-round pick Cam Ward after starting just 21 games. If he can be had for a day 3 pick Levis might be the best available option. However, like all of the QBs mentioned above, he won’t change the trajectory of the Jets season. JJ McCarthy: Another first-round pick who flopped in Minnesota after missing his first full season due to injury, there are some who believe McCarthy may be available via trade. But if the Vikings don’t believe they can fix what’s wrong with McCarthy, can anyone? In all reality, the best thing the Jets can do for themselves is to let Smith start the season at the top of the depth chart. If he were to miss time for any reason, giving those reps to Cade Klubnik to evaluate him as part of the team’s future would be more beneficial than grabbing an injury prone veteran or a failed former pick who will have to start over with the Jets and has already used up valuable years on their rookie deals.

It's June, which means it's time to get into the 2025 JMU football schedule — and we're doing it with a twist. Inspired by the Ringer Fantasy Football Podcast's schedule draft format, Jack and Bennett each draft games off the Dukes' schedule across five categories: - Home Game You'd Most Want to Attend - Home Game Worth Skipping - Road Game Worth Attending - Must-Watch TV Game - Pumpkin Picking Day (the game you skip altogether to build relationship goodwill before championship season) From the Troy rematch under the lights to a 10 PM kick at San Diego State on the CW, we break down every game worth circling on your calendar — and a few you should hand off entirely. Plus: a deep dive into the state of the Sun Belt Conference, why the league's national profile has slipped since JMU joined, what it would take for the Dukes to crack the College Football Playoff conversation, and whether the Sun Belt can still compete for G5 supremacy against a rising American Athletic Conference.

When the New York Jets open up OTAs this week, the big name folks will be interested in hearing about is rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik. The rookie reportedly impressed during rookie minicamp and will now get his first shot to make plays against veteran NFL defenders. Klubnik will garner plenty of attention simply by the nature of being a quarterback. But who else should Jets fans be focused on? https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/72172477/download.mp3 Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper: The Jets used two first round picks on tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper. While OTAs won’t be padded or full contact, they will have a chance to try to get open against NFL defensive backs for the first time so fans will be tuned in to find out how they’re progressing. AD Mitchell: Mitchell is a possible x-factor this season as a speedy former second-round pick who flashed last season but was largely limited by putrid quarterback play. If Mitchell looks like he may hit his ceiling, the Jets will have quite a lot to work with in terms of pass catchers in 2026 with Geno Smith under center. Take a look at every AD Mitchell target and reception with the Jets last season right here. D’Angelo Ponds: The rookie corner who has draw comparisons to Aaron Glenn is good enough to play on the outside but is being viewed as a guy who will play a lot of nickel in 2026. However, don’t rule out the possibility of Ponds outplaying any of the two boundary corners on the roster and garnering consideration for a permanent role outside. Tight End Jelani Woods: The Jets have what they believe is a quality trio of tight ends in Mason Taylor, Sadiq and Jeremy Ruckert. However, Woods is a former Frank Reich draft pick from their time together with the Colts and he’s an intriguing option at 6′ 7”. With more teams deploying 3-tight end sets, might he find a way to impress and win a roster spot? Arian Smith: Smith was a complete flop as a rookie, hauling in 7 balls for 52 yards on the season. He did develop into a very good gunner on special teams, but is he going to manage to impress Jets brass in his second pro season? OTAs would be a good place to start.The post Cade Klubnik Tops List of Players to Watch as OTAs Kick off appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

High-floor bet on Blake Miller at 17 The Detroit Lions Podcast used May 4 to cut through the noise on NFL draft grades and focus on fit. The theme was steady floor over splash. Blake Miller at No. 17 fits that. He arrives as a ready-to-play NFL starting right tackle. Clemson ran a pro style offense. He worked next to an in-line tight end. He protected a pocket passer in Cade Klubnik, who could move some but played structure. That background matters for Detroit's plan up front. Miller's presence helps mitigate Jared Goff's biggest limitation, mobility. A sturdy offensive line keeps the offense on schedule. The Lions had that baseline before last season and aim to restore it. Miller projects as a dependable answer, much like Taylor Decker in profile even if he plays the opposite side. Expect a couple snaps each game where you want a little more. That is life picking 17th, not in the top 10. The trade-off is reliability. The show also noted he was in the mix when picking a favorite Lions selection this year. Derek Moore's quick wins reshape the edge room Derek Moore brings another sturdy floor. Usage at Michigan was odd. He could make a splash play, then sit a series and a half. Coaching and deployment did not always match his strengths. Even so, the traits are clear. He is a quick-win rusher who can generate instant pressure off his first move. That immediacy is the appeal. Think 2.2 seconds instead of 2.4 to 2.6. Those fractions change outcomes. Aidan Hutchinson creates steady pressure and finish, but often works through a longer path. Moore can complement that with earlier disruption. Expect Moore to alternate with DJ Wonnum, a power-based end who is not a pure speed threat. The rotation should be cleaner. The Senior Bowl tape matters here too. Moore beat third-rounder Markel Bell with shock and quickness, a snapshot of what Detroit wants more of on the edge. How the draft graders stacked the class Aggregate draft grades place the Detroit Lions in the middle of the NFL pack. Rene Buettner's annual compilation slotted Detroit 16th with a 2.89 GPA, a B-plus average. The ledger included two A-minuses from Chad Reuter and Vinnie Iyer, many Bs and B-pluses, and a few C-pluses. The outside read tracks with the show's tone: satisfaction with the top of the class, minor quibbles about ceiling. The host made one more point on process. Immediate grades are noise. Real evaluation lands after rookie deals. He plans to grade the 2022 and 2023 classes when those first contracts are over. For 2024, the takeaway is simple. Detroit emphasized high floors early, added early-pressure potential with Moore, and reinforced the offensive line with Miller to keep the offense on time. That is a coherent bet for this roster. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #blakemiller #derrickmoore #detroitlionsdraftgrades #clemsonfootball #keithabney #skylergill-howard #isaacteslaa #taifelton Learn more about your ad choices.

The conversation starts with Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber reacting to reports that Russell Wilson could land with the Jets as Geno Smith's backup, and neither sounds thrilled about it. They break down why the idea feels strange, whether Wilson actually helps the quarterback room, and why the Jets may already be looking ahead to their future franchise quarterback. The debate also turns to rookie Cade Klubnik and whether the young quarterback could eventually grow into a reliable NFL backup or more. The guys also dive into the Yankees' evolving infield picture with George Lombard Jr. rapidly climbing through the minors, debate potential October roster combinations, and discuss why Brian Cashman may be reluctant to make a major trade. Plus, there is talk about quarterback scouting, draft strategy, Diego Pavia comparisons to Drew Brees, bullpen concerns for the Yankees, and another classic round of chaos between Evan, Tiki, and the callers.
Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the growing speculation surrounding Russell Wilson potentially joining the Jets as Geno Smith's backup and why the move feels more uncomfortable than exciting. The conversation explores whether Wilson still brings value in an NFL quarterback room, why the Jets may simply need veteran stability, and how much influence Geno Smith should really have over roster decisions. The focus is on rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik and what the Jets' long term quarterback strategy could look like. Evan and Tiki debate whether the fourth round pick can realistically develop into a dependable backup, why the franchise appears to be positioning itself for another quarterback move next year, and how difficult it is for any team to survive when they fail to get the most important position right.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to the team's selection of Penn State QB Drew Allar in the third round of the NFL draft. Did GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy signal intent to use Allar as a starter by visiting with him both at the NFL combine and in Pittsburgh before selecting him at No. 76 overall with the first of three third-round picks? Or is he destined to be a career backup behind Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard or someone else? And was he really the third best QB in this draft behind Fernando Mendonza and Ty Simpson, but ahead of names like Cade Klubnik, Taylen Green and Garrett Nussmeier? How how is the perception of his selection being impacted by other perceived development projects like Max Iheanachor? Our duo tackles those questions; ponders the long-term viability of late-round draft picks like Gabe Rubio, Robert Spears-Jennings and Eli Heidenreich; and analyze the undrafted free agent class that so far includes names like Devan Boykin, Chamon Metayer, Kevin Jobity Jr. and Lake McRee.

Ryan kicks off a new position-by-position draft fit series, and he's starting where it matters most — quarterback. With Jordan Love locked in as the starter, the Packers need a legitimate backup who can actually operate Matt LaFleur's quick-rhythm, play-action system without turning the keys over to chaos. Ryan goes deep on what that prototype actually looks like, then runs the entire 2026 QB class through the filter. Drew Aller tops the board as the best fit — a bigger, stronger-armed version of the Jordan Love pre-draft profile who checks nearly every LaFleur box, with the key question being whether a fourth-round investment is justified Carson Beck and Cade Klubnik land in the NFL-ready-but-limited tier — serviceable operaters who can manage an offense but lack the ceiling tools Gutekunst typically chases Tailen Green and Cole Payton represent the high-upside developmental swing — Green is a freak athlete with legitimate accuracy concerns, Payton quietly checks every schematic box but comes from a small school Luke Altmeyer emerges as the most compelling late-round sleeper — a Clifford/Pratt 2.0 who mirrors exactly what the Packers have drafted at backup QB under LaFleur, possibly available in the seventh round Ryan also touches on Sawyer Robertson, Jalen Daniels, Diego Pavia, and a handful of UDFA targets including Fagnano and Gronowski.

Jagger May and Andrew Mott break down best NFL fits for the 2026 rookie quarterback class, starting with the easiest call on the board and then working through a tier of prospects where development path matters more than immediate upside. They land on a clear QB1 destination, debate the most polarizing “where should he go?” fit, and round out the show with Day 3-style swings that need patience, structure, and the right staff to have any chance of becoming more than backups. They kick off with Fernando Mendoza and make it simple. The Raiders are the best fit, and it is not close. They like the structure around him, the offensive environment, and how clean the transition feels from a roster-building standpoint. If there is one quarterback spot that feels locked in before draft night, this is the one. From there, the conversation shifts into “who can actually develop” territory. Garrett Nussmeier gets framed as a top-three quarterback in the class, with a preferred fit that allows him to sit and grow rather than getting forced onto the field too early. The show also spends time on the biggest fit debate of the episode with Ty Simpson, with Andrew pushing the Rams as the ideal landing spot for a year or two of development behind a veteran, while Jagger defends a more aggressive “teams will trade and take their guy” view of how the first round can unfold. They also place Carson Beck in the bridge-quarterback lane, and talk through why the right coaching environment could matter more than raw traits for Drew Allar, Cole Payton, Taylen Green, Cade Klubnik, and Diego Pavia, where the realistic goal is often “earn a roster spot and get time to develop” before anything else.
