3. New York Jets

The Jets obviously made a bad decision to bring Ryan Fitzpatrick back, even on a one year deal, but a lack of other options made it necessary with an otherwise veteran-laden roster. Bryce Petty is getting some run starting under center as this season winds down, but he’s hardly a proven option looking toward 2017.

The issues for the Jets this season go beyond Fitzpatrick’s ineptitude of Petty’s lack of experience. But some proven stability at quarterback would go a long way toward changing things next season, and that’s where Brees would come in.

With notable home-road splits during his time with the Saints, relatively speaking, Brees may have little interest in joining a team that plays home games outdoors in a colder climate. But the Jets do have capable top-end duo of wide receivers, with Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker. So the Jets could be a desirable destination for Brees, and he will absolutely have a say in where he is traded to if that is in the cards.
