Jets Make Decision on Pursuing Colin Kaepernick After Aaron Rodgers Injury, per Report

The intrigue surrounding the Jets quarterback position following Aaron Rodgers’ Week 1 injury quickly picked up steam. While we know Zach Wilson is the team’s starting quarterback and there won’t be any form of competition, there’s plenty of debate over the backup job.

But things took an interesting twist on Tuesday, when it was reported that former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick had entered his name into the conversation. According to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, who said he spoke with Kaepernick directly, the 35-year-old’s agent reached out the Jets about an NFL return following the injury to Rodgers.
