Will Levis, Jets Reportedly Agree to Contract, Will Be QB3 Behind Geno Smith, Cade Klubnik
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Jets are signing quarterback Will Levis to their practice squad, releasing Bailey Zappe to make room for the 2023 second-round pick.
- Levis has started 21 games over two seasons with the Tennessee Titans, throwing for 3,899 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions, but struggled with inconsistent decision-making.
- After missing all of 2025 due to shoulder surgery, Levis was waived by the Titans in August, and his performance has raised concerns, with a 25.2 QBR ranking last among qualified passers in 2024.
- The Jets currently have Geno Smith and Cade Klubnik on their active roster, and signing Levis to the practice squad carries minimal risk while providing depth and experience at quarterback.
- Unlike other quarterbacks who improved after changing teams, Levis' potential upside remains uncertain, though the Jets may hope for untapped skills or development.
