The New York Jets are making sure they have the right pieces in place for their ongoing drama with Aaron Rodgers.
One day after New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers suggested the team fined him more than $50,000 for his unexcused trip to Egypt, the team went out and signed a new quarterback.
According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, the Jets placed DE Haason Reddick on the reserve/did not report list after he did not show up to camp due to contract disputes.
In a corresponding move, New York filled the open roster spot by signing quarterback Ben Bryant.
Bryant played at Cincinnati, Eastern Michigan, and Northwestern before going undrafted this year.

During Bryant’s lone season with the Wildcats, the former Cincinnati and Eastern Michigan signal-caller had eight starts while posting a 5-3 record.
Bryant threw for 1,807 yards and 13 touchdowns, per ESPN. He also led the team to a 2023 Las Vegas Bowl victory over Utah, earning the honor of the game’s Most Valuable Player by accounting for 222 passing yards and two touchdowns.
If he can have a good showing at training camp, he just might see himself backing up Aaron Rodgers this season.

Rodgers fired back at his critics with a perfect t-shirt following the controversy of his ‘unexcused’ absences from Jets minicamp.
On Tuesday, he showed up to Jets training camp wearing a t-shirt with an Egyptian cat on it.
