New Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich may want to bring in one of his old quarterbacks to run his offense again: Carson Wentz.
Wentz is Reich’s top choice SNY’s Connor Hughes said it’s because of their previous relationship together.

Reich served as the Eagles’ offensive coordinator during Wentz’s first two NFL seasons, and while playing in Reich’s offense in 2017, Wentz was an MVP candidate before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Wentz then spent one season in Indianapolis in 2021 when Reich was the Colts’ head coach and was solid for much of the season, although Wentz’s tenure with the Colts will be remembered primarily for his disastrous final game, in which a season-ending upset loss knocked the Colts from playoff contention.
Wentz started five games for the Vikings last season, completing 65.1 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and five interceptions. He becomes a free agent next week.
The Jets are expected to add multiple quarterbacks this offseason and Wentz will have to compete for playing time, but no one would be surprised if he joins Reich’s offense on the third team again.
