Summary
The Jets’ QB battle is heating up as Bailey Zappe, Brady Cook, and Cade Klubnik fight for the backup spot behind Geno Smith — with Zappe’s inconsistent but promising performances making him a key contender. After a shaky minicamp showing that included an interception, Zappe still flashed potential with a strong 6-of-8 drive leading to a field goal. With Klubnik sidelined and no veteran brought in, Zappe’s chance to prove he’s the reliable No. 2 is now or never — and he’ll need to deliver big to earn a roster spot after signing a futures deal.
