Jets Latest Qb Decision Is Yet Another Head Scratcher

Because this can’t be all there is. This can’t be their solution at quarterback. If Josh McCown is the answer, then we’re all asking the wrong questions. Yet an argument is being formed in some quarters that there’s a method to the latest example of the Jets’ madness at quarterback the last three offseasons.

Per details of the trade, if the 26-year-old is released by March 19, the Jets will owe the Seahawks a sixth-round pick rather than a fourth rounder, and New York at that point would be freed of the four years and $41.5 million Harvin is owed. Rich Cimini of ESPN believes that will happen. Because Harvin’s contract no longer offers guaranteed money, the Jets can give up a sixth rounder for 2014’s half season of services or give up a fourth rounder to keep him for at least one more season before parting ways, as Cimini points out....
