A new rumor from the New York Jets tells Gang Green fans they can expect more poor quarterback play in 2026.

The NY Jets have a lot of questions going into March about what they will do at the QB spot next season. A year ago, they made their first major move in free agency when they signed former first-round pick Justin Fields after a productive season in limited action with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Unfortunately, his six starts in 2024 proved foolish, and he was a disaster for the NY Jets last season. In his nine starts in 2025, the former Chicago Bears first-rounder threw for less than 100 yards four times.

This has led to months of speculation about how the team will address the situation in March. Will they use a draft pick in April on a QB prospect? Could they trade for a veteran signal-caller like Kyler Murray or Deshaun Watson? Or maybe they’ll invest money in another option in free agency?

According to Tony Pauline of Essential Sports, it’s likely they will attempt a trade to add a veteran QB in the coming weeks. But it won’t even come close to the big-name players who should be available.

NY Jets could target Davis Mills in the offseason

“Most of the narrative outside the league has centered around the team potentially trading for Kyler Murray. Yet people around the league tell me that if general manager Darren Maugy gets his way, the Jets will try to bring in a less-expensive signal caller, and two names continue to be included in the conversation: Tanner McKee and Davis Mills,” Pauline reports.

McKee was a sixth-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023 and has played in only six games during his three seasons in the NFL. He has played well in his two starts and has a 1-1 record. That includes a 20-13 win over the New York Giants in 2024, where he threw for 269 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Mills is a name that NY Jets fans will be more familiar with as he was thrust into the starting role for the Houston Texans during the 2021 and 2022 seasons after Watson was suspended following sexual assault allegations. His record as a starter is 8-19-1. However, he went 3-0 last season, including a 292-yard throwing day in a big win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in November.

Either way, a pair of veteran backups won’t excite NY Jets fans. A case can be made that no one is better than Fields, which means QB play for Gang Green could get even worse in 2026.

Despite high expectations heading into the 2025-26 campaign, ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins doesn’t see a deep playoff run for the Houston Rockets. Head coach Ime Udoka calling out the Rockets’ Amen Thompson is another example of the issue that has plagued Houston’s season, preventing the team from reaching its full potential.

Perkins doesn’t expect this from the Rockets make it out he said about the opening round of the playoffs, according to ESPN’s First Take.

“The Rockets are going home in the first round,” Perkins said. “Number one, they lack high basketball-IQ. Number two, they’ve lost their identity defensively. They used to be a defensive-minded team. I don’t know what happened. Number three, they play individual, selfish basketball.”

Without a fluid offense, the Rockets would not be able to advance to the second round. And for Perkins, Thompson isn’t the only Rockets player with a selfless approach to the offense.

Perkins said, “There are times when you look at Amen Thompson. He wants to be one-on-one. Show the world he can go get buckets.” “There is no structure to his crime – it’s the same with Sengun.”

“They play personal, selfish basketball…they’ll [Houston Rockets] Will be sent home in the first round. “I guarantee you that.”

However, above all, what bothers Kendrick Perkins the most is that the Rockets did not try to make a deal for Milwaukee Bucks All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo at the trade deadline.

Ime Udoka calls out Amen Thompson of Rockets

If it’s not Rockets All-Star Kevin Durant’s social media accusations, it’s coach Ime Udoka’s call to Amen Thompson that had the Rockets in the news last week. According to Kelly Echo of The Athletic, Udoka said he stopped moving when the ball got into Thompson’s hands.

“The ball stopped moving, started getting a lot of separation. Same story – we’ve lost too many games like that. I’m telling Amen and Reed to be more demonstrative and get us into our sets; this is not the time to freestyle. Turnovers hurt, but bad offense hurts just as bad.”

The Rockets will look to bounce back from a 108-106 loss to the Knicks when they host the Jazz on Monday.
