Will the Jets make a play for Brendan Sorsby?

Key Points:
- The New York Jets, lacking a consistent franchise quarterback since Joe Namath, are among the teams that should seriously consider evaluating Brendan Sorsby as a potential long-term solution.
- Despite some skepticism about the Jets' interest in Sorsby, it is crucial for them to conduct a thorough assessment of his abilities, the circumstances surrounding his NCAA eligibility forfeiture, and his risk of relapse.
- The potential upside of Sorsby becoming a franchise quarterback outweighs the risks, especially given the Jets' history of unsuccessful quarterback selections like Geno Smith and Zach Wilson.
- Questions remain about why Sorsby did not enter the April draft, but the significant financial and career benefits of another college season likely influenced his decision.
- Sorsby is expected to enter the supplemental draft, and teams without a franchise quarterback should invest the effort to evaluate his talent and potential despite the complexities involved.
