The Jets brought in two quarterbacks for workouts today, including former Titans second-round pick Will Levis, as they look to shore up their depth beyond current roster QBs Geno Smith and Cade Klunbik. Right now, Bailey Zappe is the squad’s third QB, holding a practice squad spot, but it’s clear the team is still exploring options.
Levis’s Past Has Been a Wild Ride
Will Levis was a pretty big name just a few years ago, a 2023 second-round pick for the Titans. But man, his time in Tennessee went sideways fast. Things totally bottomed out in 2024 when he started 12 games, and the Titans only pulled out two wins, going 2-10. Not only that, he was throwing picks on 4 percent of his passes. Rough. He didn’t even play in 2025 and got waived by the Titans on cutdown day. Everyone talks about “upside” for young, highly drafted QBs, but it’s fair to wonder how much Levis really has left when his tenure was that poor, and no team is willing to give him a roster spot. According to Zack Rosenblatt, the Jets are only looking at Levis for a practice squad role.
Who Else Did They Bring In?
The other QB the Jets worked out was Jack Plummer. Plummer’s path has been a bit different, toiling in what the source calls “the minor leagues.” However, he recently earned MVP honors playing for the Orlando Storm in the United Football League, which is pretty cool! Before that, he spent the 2024 season on the practice squad for the Carolina Panthers. So, he’s got some experience with the NFL practice squad grind.
The Jets clearly want to add another arm to their practice squad mix. Whether it’s a former high draft pick trying to rebuild his career or a UFL MVP looking for his shot, they’re digging for that next layer of talent to back up Geno and Cade. It’s a low-risk move for them, but for Levis especially, it’s a make-or-break situation for his career hopes.
