The Facts: NFL Network's Kim Jones reported on NFL Free Agency Frenzy, that there are contrasting views within the Jets' organization regarding Darnold. The divide is believed to be between GM Joe Douglas and the coaching staff.

Diehards Line: Douglas wants to take a chance on a rookie quarterback and has seen enough of Darnold after three seasons. But new HC Robert Saleh and incoming OC Mike LaFleur are more inclined to stick with Darnold, believing that the 23-year-old quarterback wasn't coached very well and had a poor supporting cast around him. It explains why, despite the league-wide interest, the Jets have played things slowly. For one, they are still working on their final evaluations of the 2021 quarterback class, with Fields and Mac Jones among the top passers who still haven't had a Pro Day. ... It's a situation we'll continue to monitor.
