Jets | Christian Hackenberg financials

Updating a previous report, New York Jets QB Christian Hackenberg’s four-year rookie contract is worth $4.66 million.

Footballguys View: Hackenberg will have a chance to win the starting job, but we’re not touching him if he does. His shell-shocked attitude behind the offensive line will take time to get rid of, if it ever happens at all. The Jets quarterback situation is shaky, though Geno Smith is a little intriguing given the success the very average Ryan Fitzpatrick had in Chan Gailey’s offense and the weapons the Jets have on offense.

Browns | Cody Kessler will practice

Cleveland Browns rookie QB Cody Kessler will still practice at the rookie minicamp even if he doesn’t sign by the start of camp Thursday, May 12, due to the injury protection clause.

Footballguys View: Kessler is who he is – a guy who won’t make a lot of mistakes but who is risk averse to a fault. He’s unlikely to be a threat to Robert Griffin III in his rookie year, and we’re not sure we expect much of him down the road either. That said, Hue Jackson has made decent quarterbacks look great before, so we have some hope.

Seahawks | Trevone Boykin could be backup

Seattle Seahawks QB Trevone Boykin has a good shot at earning the backup quarterback position behind QB Russell Wilson, with only QB Jake Heaps with whom to compete. Head coach Pete Carroll thinks Boykin’s style of play fits well with Seattle’s offense and is similar to Wilson.

Footballguys View: Wilson is still the man here, and with his contract running until the end of the 2019 NFL season, that won’t change but Boykin is a good safety net against serious injury as he will not require a change to the offense if Wilson is hurt.
