McCown will compete with Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg during training camp for the starting quarterback job, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCown signed a one-year contract with the Jets back in March, and while it has always been expected that he will be the opening day starter, head coach Todd Bowles made it clear Wednesday that it will be an open competition. Given the struggles of Petty last season and the team's lack of trust to even give Hackenberg a shot, McCown certainly has to be viewed as the front runner.
