The New York Jets came into the NFL offseason with three goals at quarterback: Find a starter, find a rookie developmental option, and add another veteran to round out the QB room.

So far, they've added Geno Smith in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders to be their starter, and took Cade Klubnik on Day 3 of the NFL Draft to land their developmental QB. Now, they have their sights set on their second veteran QB.

Russell Wilson was the player they landed on, as they met with the former Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants QB on a free agent visit. But now, according to Andrew Marchand of The Athletic, they might lose the bidding war for Wilson with a TV gig.
