The New York Jets are signing former Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis to their practice squad and releasing Bailey Zappe to create room. Levis, a 2023 second-round pick, went 5-16 in 21 starts over two seasons with Tennessee, throwing 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. He missed the 2025 season after shoulder surgery and was released by the Titans during final roster cuts after the team selected Cam Ward first overall. Levis will join a Jets quarterback group led by Geno Smith and including rookie Cade Klubnik, giving the 27-year-old another opportunity to revive his career.

Releasing Zappe makes sense with Smith and Klubnik already in the room, but it still feels like a tough break for him.
