Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Teddy Bridgewater

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.

Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will serve as the backup QB for Saturday's playoff game against the Washington Commanders. The Lions have opted to have an experienced quarterback behind Jared Goff which leaves Hendon Hooker as the emergency option. Bridgewater retired from the league after the 2023 season to coach his alma mater high school team. He came out of retirement in late December and served as the emergency third string quarterback to end the season. He's unlikely to see the field with Goff healthy, but having Bridgewater's experience on the sideline is never a bad thing.
