Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Jaxson Dart

Tuesday, February 25, 8:42 PM

Both New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn made it clear that veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor is a candidate for the starting job in 2025, although Glenn isn't willing to commit to Taylor as the Week 1 starter. The Jets are designate Aaron Rodgers as a post-June 1 cut, so their decision on who to replace the future Hall of Famer with under center will be the main topic of conversation for the Jets this offseason. The Jets could look to move up from No. 7 overall in this year's draft to take one of the top signal-callers, and they've also been tied to Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Justin Fields. A trade could be another avenue the Jets consider, with Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford being the biggest name potentially available. Taylor has started 58 games in his NFL career, although he hasn't started more than six games in a season since 2017 with the Bills.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart got reps with the second-team offense at Thursday's OTA practice, according to team reporter Jordan Raanan. The rookie out of Ole Miss has been primarily working with the third-team offense this offseason, so this is an encouraging sign. Dart, the No. 25 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, is in a quarterback room with veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, so he could be in for a "redshirt" campaign in his rookie season. However, the Giants' schedule is daunting, and Dart could be inserted in the lineup at any point if the team gets out to a poor start. In his final season with the Rebels, Dart threw for 4,279 yards, 29 touchdowns, and six interceptions en route to a 10-3 record. He's a risk-taker and likes to push the ball downfield, meaning he could be a great asset for Malik Nabers' fantasy football upside in the future.
