The rest of the current depth chart includes Bailey Zappe, Brady Cook and 2026 fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik, who the jury is still out on.”He added, “With how awful the Jets have been at finding a franchise quarterback, they should be hedging their bet any chance they get, which is why they should go after Sanders.”Michael Moraitis of the Big Lead noted, “Miami Dolphins – There is no telling how Malik Willis is going to pan out in his first year as the starter, and the only insurance policy Miami has is Quinn Ewers, who was OK but not great in Year 1. That leaves Miami without a locked-in long-term starter, and that should have general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan exploring every option possible.”He continued, “The Dolphins should bring Sanders in and have him compete with Ewers for the right to take over the starting job if Willis falters.”
