With a shortage of options available via the 2026 NFL draft, general manager Darren Mougey may be tasked with getting creative. One <a href=\"http:\/\/jetswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/jets\/2026\/02\/04\/could-jets-address-quarterback-before-2026-nfl-draft-kyler-murray\/88490356007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rumored option is Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray<\/a>, who may be traded this offseason after being benched in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/arizona-cardinals\/355\" data-autotag=\"c6331531-478d-4c7a-b93a-28f5b26af3f9\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Cardinals<\/a> drafted Murray at No. 1 overall in 2019. He&#8217;s been a high-upside franchise quarterback with occasional lapses in production and consistency. Regardless, there&#8217;s no denying Murray is an NFL starting quarterback, and the Jets would improve with him under center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">If the Jets are to acquire Murray via trade this offseason, there&#8217;s a key date to keep in mind. Murray is due a roster bonus on March 16th, the fifth day of the new league year calendar, according to ESPN reporter Josh Weinfuss. Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort will likely make a determination regarding his future before then.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Frank Reich will be under pressure to deliver immediate results in 2026 after a disappointing 2025 season. Acquiring Murray could position the Jets for a quick rebuild and maybe even playoff contention. March 16th is the key date to monitor for Murray.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:6|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 11, 2026, 6:55 p.m. ET The New York Jets will be in the market for a new&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":746108,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2078],"tags":[95878,375,390,2604,1327,7,6,97197,97198,95882,95890,96065,95896,96747,95888,95895,95899,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-746107","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arizona-cardinals","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-arizona","10":"tag-arizona-cardinals","11":"tag-arizonacardinals","12":"tag-cardinals","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnfljets","16":"tag-sstsnjets","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagarizona-cardinals","19":"tag-tagkyler-murray","20":"tag-tagnational-sports","21":"tag-tagnew-york-jets","22":"tag-tagnfl","23":"tag-tagnfl-hub","24":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","25":"tag-tagsports-news","26":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116055288278262607","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746107\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
