Flacco is Back; Mike White Receives Original Tender

The Jets QB room for next season is going to look very similar to the QB room from last year.  As Zach Wilson heads into his second season he will be surrounded by some familiar faces.  Various reports are saying that the Jets have re-signed Joe Flacco to a one-year 3.5 million dollar deal.

It is also being reported that the Jets have tendered QB Mike White at his original 5th-round level, which comes in at 2.54 million.  The Jets would have the right to match any offer sheet that White receives and if they didn’t match it they would receive a 5th round draft pick.

Joe Flacco’s deal with the Jets is for one year, $3.5M, according to a source. https://t.co/mNgKszTATD

Robert Saleh is happy about Flacco returning. When the season ended, the coach said he was planning to lobby for Flacco's return. Interesting change for Saleh, who last year downplayed the importance of having an experienced backup. #Jets

More information on Mike White’s tender offer.

As expected, the Jets have tendered QB Mike White at his original-round level (5th) — $2.54M, per source. This means the #Jets get a fifth-round pick if they decline to match an offer sheet.

So they secure Zach Wilson’s backups with White and Joe Flacco.

Quarterback room all back together again: Zach Wilson, Mike White, Joe Flacco.

Good training camp & preseason from White & maybe the #NYJ can flip him for a draft pick
