The NFL is the ultimate arms race, and you can never have enough good quarterbacks. The Eagles have a factory, and Tanner McKee could again be the most valuable asset heading into the 2026 free agency and NFL draft frenzy. During the 2024 regular season, McKee was thrust into the spotlight, and he delivered on the moment, making himself one of the hottest talked about commodities.
A 2023 sixth-round pick out of Stanford, McKee waited for this moment, and now, the 2026 NFL free agency process and draft are approaching, and the Jets (No. 2 overall pick) should look to acquire a veteran quarterback like McKee, over risking draft assets on a limited college class. On Thursday, the Tennessee Titans agreed to trade nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat to the New York Jets in exchange for pass rusher Jermaine Johnson II, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported.
As Adam Schefter reported, the trade puts the Jets in place to select Ohio State pass rusher Arvell Reese or the best pass rusher on the board at No. 2 after the Raiders select Indiana's Fernando Mendoza.
The Jets will explore multiple quarterback options to replace Justin Fields and bring stability, including trading for veterans like Kyler Murray or Tua Tagovailoa, signing free agents like Malik Willis.
If the price tag is too high for Murray, Tagovailoa, and Willis, McKee could be another option.
The talented quarterback saw full-game action just once last season. McKee started in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders with the opportunity to help Philadelphia move into the No. 2 seed with a Bears loss to the Packers. McKee was 21-40 passing, one touchdown, one interception, and a 68.9 rating, a far cry from his 2024 debut.
The Jets are stacked with draft picks after trading away defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner. Still, there are building blocks on this roster, particularly along the offensive line and with Garrett Wilson. A trade for McKee could help the offense hit the ground running while using top picks on defensive replacements.
