Ole Miss star Jaxson Dart has emerged as a possible replacement for Aaron Rodgers at the New York Jets.
Confirmation of the exit of Rodgers came earlier this week, after two disappointing years with the legendary Quarterback.

Now, according to ESPN, the jets could focus on Dart in the coming NFL concept. Cam Ward (Miami) and Shedeur Sanders (Colorado) are expected to be the best Quarterback options in April.

Spielman was recently hired as a senior football adviser by the Jets. And during last month's senior bowl, as an analyst on CBS, he said: 'I love Jaxson Dart – better and better and better.

“I don't know if there is a first round of Quarterback after the first two,” Spielman added.
“But the way Bo Nix came out of this game last year would not surprise me if (dart) ended up in the first round.”
Nix was prepared by the Denver Broncos in 2024 before enjoying an impressive Rookie season.
