The New York Jets addressed one of their many needs today by signing an experienced quarterback, QB Josh McCown. McCown, 37, has played for 7 teams over his 14-year career. He is 18-42 as a starter and will most likely start for the rebuilding Jets in Week 1.
Last season McCown started 3 games for the Browns, completing 54.5% of his passes for 1,100 yards, 6 TD, 6 INT. His contract with the Jets is $6M for 1 year, which is quite a bit over his worth to say the least. According to ProFootballTalk, "McCown will make $125,000 for each game in which he takes more than 50 percent of the snaps. He can also make an extra $2 million if the Jets qualify for the playoffs, another $1.5 million if the Jets make it to Super Bowl LII, and another $1.5 million if they win it."
