Bailey Zappe: Replaced by Levis on practice squad
The Jets cut Zappe from the practice squad Tuesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
Zappe lost out to Cade Klubnik for a spot on the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, and the former's short tenure with the Jets is over after the team signed Will Levis to the practice squad. Zappe has appeared in 15 regular-season games (nine starts) since 2022 and should catch on with a team in need of quarterback depth on the practice squad.

Bailey Zappe: Signs with New York's practice squad
The Jets signed Zappe to the practice squad Tuesday, Amanda Vogt of the team's official site reports.
The Jets cut Zappe last Saturday. The quarterback was competing for the No. 2 role behind Geno Smith but lost out to Cade Klubnik and Brady Cook. Zappe will now provide additional depth at the position and be ready to be elevated as an emergency quarterback if any of the first three options must miss time due to injury.

Bailey Zappe: Let go by Jets
The Jets cut Zappe on Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Zappe signed with New York on a reserve/future contract in January and entered training camp with a legitimate shot to win the No. 2 QB job. However, he struggled during preseason play, completing just 14 of 23 passes for 135 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Zappe's departure means that either Cade Klubnik or Brady Cook will serve as Geno Smith's backup when the regular season kicks off.

Jets' Bailey Zappe: Hurts chances in job battle
Zappe, who's battling rookie Cade Klubnik for the Jets' No. 2 quarterback job, hurt his chances in Friday's preseason loss to the Buccaneers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Klubnik got the surprise start Friday after Geno Smith was ruled out due to an ankle injury, and he turned in a solid first two drives of the game. Meanwhile, Zappe followed Klubnik and completed six of 10 passes for 55 yards, but two of his incompletions were interceptions, including one pick-six. Zappe will have two additional preseason games to make his case, but Cimini notes the veteran signal-caller appears to clearly be behind Klubnik at the moment.

Jets' Bailey Zappe: Competing for backup role
Zappe is serving as the second-team quarterback for the Jets during OTAs, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Zappe has nine career regular-season starts, giving him more experience than fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik and second-year pro Brady Cook. With Geno Smith locked in as the team's starter, Zappe, Klubnik and Cook are competing in an "open competition" for the backup role, per Cimini.

Jets' Bailey Zappe: Lands future deal with Jets
Zappe signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets on Monday.
The state of the Jets' quarterback room is in flux heading into the 2026 campaign, so Zappe looks poised to have a realistic chance at a roster spot. Zappe has 15 NFL appearances (nine starts) under his belt, with all of those having come for the Jets' AFC East rival Patriots, but he didn't appear in a regular-season game in 2025.
