Bailey Zappe has been released by the Jets, effectively ending his bid for the backup quarterback position, which seems to favor rookie Cade Klubnik as the primary option behind starter Geno Smith. Zappe, who previously started for the Patriots, struggled in the preseason and was competing for a third-string role with undrafted rookie Brady Cook. The Jets may still consider adding a veteran quarterback, impacting Klubnik’s position. Zappe’s one-year contract had no guaranteed money, allowing for his release without a dead-cap charge.
