The Facts: The Jets appeared to be moving quickly when their interest in Jay Cutler surfaced, but it has quieted down over the past three days. Why? The quarterback market is on hold, waiting for the conclusion of the Tony Romo saga. That outcome will start a domino effect that likely will impact the Jets. I'm sure the Jets have various contingency plans, but one name I'd watch is Osweiler.
Diehards Line:
So wrote ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, who went on to suggest that once the Browns realize they can't trade Osweiler, they'll cut him loose, still responsible for his $16 million guarantee. In theory, the Jets could sign him for the minimum ($775,000), with Osweiler collecting the remaining $15.25 million from the Browns. "Sure, he has warts," Cimini summed up. "But where else could you find a potential starter that cheap? I'm not saying he's the answer, but he's worth considering. ..." While it might be impossible for the Jets to find a QB that suits fans at this point, it's safe to say Osweiler would fall well short in that department.
