Jets Replace Tim Boyle with Brett Rypien in Quarterback Shake-Up
The New York Jets have waived quarterback Tim Boyle and signed Brett Rypien, the nephew of former Super Bowl MVP Mark Rypien. Boyle's tenure as the Jets' starting quarterback lasted only two starts before he was benched in their recent loss to the Falcons. Rypien, who was signed off the Seahawks' practice squad, has started four career games, going 2-2 with 950 passing yards, four touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He previously played under Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett when Hackett was the head coach of the Denver Broncos. The Jets hope to improve their scoring as they have only managed 45 points during their current five-game losing streak.
