New Ty Simpson Rumors on Jets, Cardinals amid Rams Buzz Revealed by Adam Schefter, Todd McShay
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- The Arizona Cardinals have a strong interest in Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson ahead of the 2026 NFL draft, holding the No. 3 overall pick and potentially needing to trade up to secure him.
- The New York Jets and Cardinals are reportedly the two teams most interested in Simpson, with the Los Angeles Rams showing early interest but likely out of the running after trading away their No. 29 pick.
- Both the Cardinals and Jets are using temporary quarterbacks in 2026, indicating a long-term need for a quarterback like Simpson, who is considered a fringe first-round prospect.
- Simpson's draft position could fall late in the first round or early second round, which may prompt the Jets to attempt a trade to acquire him if he slips that far.
- Selecting Simpson in the first round would give the team a fifth-year club option on his rookie contract, adding value to the investment and setting up potential competition between Arizona and New York.
