Former No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell — widely considered the biggest bust in NFL draft history — recently shed weight and is attempting an NFL comeback.

The Jets need a quarterback. Russell was once a quarterback. And the Jets have explored the possibility of adding Russell to their offseason roster.

Per Conor Orr of the Newark Star-Ledger, the Jets had “some very exploratory, informal discussions” about the ex-Oakland Raider. The discussions took place after the firing of G.M. Mike Tannenbaum, and among members of the organization that still have their jobs.

It doesn’t sound like a signing is imminent, but Russell should come cheap, likely on a minimum-salary deal as he attempts to turn his life and football career around.

The Jets should like the sound of that. Because Tannenbaum left them with the worst salary cap situation in the league.

Jets have interset in Jamarcus Russell

I do not believe the Jets have any interest in Jamarcus Russell.

This is just some second rate writer trying to get a headline and get anybody to read his unreadable story.

He will back up Alex Smith.

Jets owners trolling the Jets posters on PSD.

very exploratory, informal discussion....sounds like two guys laughing over his comeback and someone overheard it.

[debo]

lol...no way this is true.

If so, sorry, Jets fans, for your franchise being so ****ing awful.

[NormSizedMidget]

I'd seriously love to see him bring him into TC for the record.

can't be much worse

Russell, Sanchez and Tebow are virtually at the same level when it comes to qb skills. So it makes sense actually

Maybe he'll be coming in to play RT and block Tim Tebow's blindside.
