Jets, Cardinals Explore Top Free-Agent Quarterbacks, Pass Rushers

The New York Jets are parting ways with Aaron Rodgers and are looking to the free agency market for a new quarterback, with Justin Fields emerging as a top candidate. Fields, who has shown potential as a dual-threat quarterback, could serve as a bridge while the Jets seek a long-term solution. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals are eyeing significant roster improvements, considering Haason Reddick as a valuable addition to their defense after a lackluster season. Additionally, the Cardinals face uncertainty with potential departures of key defensive players and are also looking to bolster their pass rush through both free agency and the upcoming draft. Zaven Collins led the Cardinals with just five sacks in 2024, highlighting the team's urgent need for edge rushers. The Cardinals are expected to target multiple pass rushers as they aim to enhance their defensive capabilities.
