The Jets have a quarterback.
Josh McCown and the Jets have agreed to a one-year contract, his agent announced on Twitter.
At the moment, McCown would appear to be the Jets’ starter. They only have two other quarterbacks under contract, Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg, and neither has shown anything to indicate that he’s ready to be a starter. McCown isn’t exactly a franchise savior, but he’s a competent veteran who can hold down the fort and help Petty and Hackenberg develop.
The 37-year-old McCown started three games for the Browns last year and appeared as a backup in two others. He threw six touchdown passes and six interceptions and had a passer rating of 72.3.

McCown's not...he's not....he's not good

Re: McCOWN TO THE JETS

He's not even as good as Fitz. And with no Marshall and just Decker, who is strictly a #2 WR...

This is perfect. McCown is bad enough that the Jets will still be bad, but he could be good enough to keep them from getting a top pick.

If he stays healthy.

Re: McCOWN TO THE JETS

Pretty clear the Jets are going hard for a top 3 pick.

And they should, they need a QB. They need a lot of things actually, I think it's a solid move for a team looking to tank without going Full Hinkie.

Wouldn't be suprised to see them move Wilkerson or Richardson for a mid-round pick in the draft. Decker too if they could get anything substantial think 4th rounder (unlikely given his season ending injury). Maybe he gets moved in training camp for a team that thinks they're a contender or suffers an injury to a starter. Tennessee would seem to make sense, maybe Washington, possibly the Chiefs.

They could've made a move for a QB who would possibly win them more games... Daniel, Cutler, or Kaepernick.

I think McCown is a great way for them to go. He might mess around and get hot early and accidentally win a game or 2, but it's unlikely.

He'll get them a couple wins the first half of the year and then they can give the reigns to Hackenberg to see if he is worth a long term look as the starter.

If they really wanted to tank I think it would make more sense to just stick with the young guys and let Petty and Hackenberg compete for the job.

He's better than 4th quarter Fitz.
