The Pac-12’s all-time passing leader is off to find his forever home. Luke Falk, a one-time New York Jet, and two-time NY Jet starter, was sent packing after failing to make the entire 0-4 Jets team good.
Now that the starter Sam Darnold has sort of recovered from mono, the Jets are confident that they’re better off watching Darnold’s spleen implode this week rather than watch Falk flail around the dumpster fire the Jets have put together.
Falk would have been the backup but the aptly named David Fales, who has already been released once this season by the Jets, was still available.
Fales briefly played in last Sunday’s debacle in Philadelphia, but was unable to even attempt a pass as he was sacked in his only play that was likely to be a forward pass.
Fales has never started an NFL game, and not thrown a pass in a regular season game since 2017 when he played for Miami.
