Bryce Petty begins his audition for 2017:

These next four games for Petty should determine whether the Jets feel comfortable going forward with Bryce Petty under center or if they need to look for outside help before the start of the 2017 campaign. With names such as Tony Romo and Mike Glennon being linked to the New York Jets and Christian Hackenberg lurking in the shadows, Petty will have four weeks to prove to the Jets brass that he is the quarterback of the future.

If the 49ers do indeed decide to move on from Colin Kaepernick in the future, the chances of Kaepernick landing a starting gig in the NFL are slim. Not only has Kaepernick ruffled many feathers with his protest to the national anthem, but his inability to sustain drives in the passing attack will keep quarterback-needy teams at bay with Kaepernick looking to latch on elsewhere.
