While former Jets quarterback Sam Darnold will be a free agent, he's "not believed to be a realistic target" given his projected salary and the "unlikelihood" he'd want to return

The New York Jets have identified veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota as a target in free agency, per Connor Hughes of SNY.

Since then, Atlanta has hired former New York Jets defensive coordinator and interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich to the same position. Ulbrich spent 2015-20 as a Falcons assistant. He has stated that a main goal for him was to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks, something that Atlanta has consistently failed to do for several straight seasons now.

The New York Jets’ path to acquire one of their top quarterback targets just got easier. It’s no secret that the Darren Mougey/Aaron Glenn brain trust in New Yo
