The New York Jets are facing a dilemma for the rest of their 2023 season. No one anticipated Aaron Rodgers lasting four offensive plays into the season. However, that is exactly where we find ourselves. Jets Head Coach Robert Saleh has stated numerous times that Zach Wilson is their starting quarterback moving forward, however, one can’t help but wonder if they have a backup plan in case Wilson doesn’t pan out. As it turns out, the Jets officially reached out to one retired quarterback in hopes to lure him back into the league.
The New York Jets Have Reached Out To Retired Quarterback Chad Henne
Apparently, the Jets have inquired about former Chiefs backup quarterback Chad Henne, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
“Following Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles tear, GM Joe Douglas is doing his due diligence on veteran QBs to backup Zach Wilson,” Schultz said. “Henne knows Nathaniel Hackett dating back to their days together with the Jaguars.”
The Jets’ quarterback room would be enriched with the experience with the addition of Henne. During his NFL career, the veteran has attempted over 2,000 passes for 13,290 yards with 60 touchdowns and 63 interceptions.
After the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in February 2023, Henne announced his retirement.
What Would It Take To Get Chad Henne Out Of Retirement?
Getting someone to un-retire isn’t an easy task. The veteran quarterback was in the league from 2008-2022 playing for the Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Kansas City Chiefs. However the two sides could reach an impasse one negations start (if they do).
Henne may want a little more than the veteran minimum to pull him out of retirement. The Jets may not be willing to do that for someone is (likely) isn’t going to start. At least not right away. This would certainly be an interesting storyline to watch.
