Ryan Tannehill Another Name to Look Out for with Jets

If things go south for the New York Jets in their pursuit for either Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr. And knowing Jets history why would anything go south? (insert sarcasm). There is a back-up to the back-up option potentially out there in Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

I know Jets fans, you're winching as you think about this.

That of course all hinges on if the Titans decide to move on from Tannehill, who will be 35 and could save Tennessee upwards of $27 million if he is waived or traded after June 1.

Plus new Titans GM Ran Carthon has been mum on the idea of a Tannehill return in 2023. That said, when the Titans hired Tim Kelly to be their new offensive coordinator, Head Coach Mike Vrabel said that Tannehill was excited by the move, hinting that the veteran quarterback was at least aware of the process.

Tannehill is a serviceable veteran. He took the Titans to the playoffs multiple times; even went to an AFC title game a few years ago. That said, it helps when you have a monster like Derrick Henry in the backfield.

If Tannehill landed in New York, he would clearly be a stop gap until the Jets feel the cobwebs are clear in the mind of Zach Wilson, and/or the Jets find a new quarterback via the draft.

The Jets could also look toward Jimmy Garrappolo who is a free agent, and wouldn't cost the Jets anything except money. Garrappolo knows the Jets system fairly well having worked with Robert Saleh in San Francisco.

Meanwhile, the Raiders have already released Derek Carr, who is also said to be of interest to the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers.

As for Aaron Rodgers, he still hasn't gone into his so-called darkness retreat as he continues to string everyone along.

Hell, if all else fails, the Jets could end up with Andy Dalton.

Keep smiling Jets fans.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now. The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia. Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action. On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI. Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper. New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now! The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season. Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East. The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers. If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
