Jets Non-Committal On Sam Darnold's Future
4 years agoNew York Jets general manager Joe Douglas, who previously said that quarterback Sam Darnold was untouchable, was non-committal on whether Darnold would be the team's starting quarterback in 2021. Douglas said the team's new head coach will be "a big part of that." The Jets also have the second overall pick in the draft and could select Darnold's replacement. Douglas remains optimistic about Darnold's future, but it was tempered compared to his previous stance on the signal-caller. New York finished 2-14 and Darnold was the NFL's lowest-rated QB (72.7). The former third overall pick in 2018 helped beat the Rams and Browns, but he finished with a two-interception performance in a loss to the Patriots in Week 17. The 23-year-old finished with nine touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 12 games, but he wasn't helped by his offensive line and had a lack of trustworthy receivers all year. Darnold will likely have competition next year and won't be on the radar in single-QB leagues.
