Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports reports that the Jets are bringing in veteran QB Josh Johnson for a workout on Thursday.
The Jets recently signed QB Matt Flynn to a contract, so this news would imply that they’re not sold on him being their backup.
Last night, Garafolo mentioned that the Browns had some interest in Johnson, which further implies that he may have a new job sooner than later.
Johnson, 29, was recently cut loose by the Bengals, and is among the best available quarterback options.
The Bengals signed Johnson to a contract back in April, but they ultimately elected to move forward with A.J. McCarron as their backup quarterback.
Johnson hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since the 2013 season while playing for the Bengals.
