FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets, exploring the quarterbacks available as veteran backups, met late Monday afternoon at their facility with 10-time Pro Bowl selection Russell Wilson, a source said Tuesday.
No contract is imminent, but Wilson is being considered, the source said.
Wilson, 37, is a free agent after playing one season for the New York Giants. He said at the end of the season that he wants to continue playing.
Coach Aaron Glenn has made it clear that Geno Smith, 35, acquired in a March trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, is the starting quarterback. The Jets don't have an experienced backup. The other quarterbacks on the roster are Bailey Zappe (4-5 as a starter), Brady Cook (0-4) and rookie Cade Klubnik, drafted in the fourth round Saturday.
