The Jets quarterback merry-go-round got another entry Monday when the team signed Brady Quinn.
Quinn spent the off-season with the Seahwaks, but was cut over the weekend. The former first-round pick joins Geno Smith, Mark Sanchez and Matt Simms in the Jets’ quarterback room. The team waived Graham Harrell to clear a roster spot for Quinn.
The signing of Quinn could be an indication that Sanchez’s shoulder injury is more serious than the team has let on. All they have said is that Sanchez is day-to-day. The Quinn signing gives them a veteran to back up Smith while Sanchez is out instead of the inexperienced Simms.
A source said over the weekend that Sanchez still is not throwing and may not be cleared to throw for another two weeks.
The Browns took Quinn in the first round of the 2007 Draft out of Notre Dame. He spent three seasons with the Browns, two with the Broncos and last season with the Chiefs. He has played in 24 NFL games and has a career passer rating of 64.4.
