What happened: Levis cleared waivers following his release, leaving him free to sign with any club. New York evaluated him for a practice-squad spot.

Why it matters: The Jets open the regular season at Tennessee on Sept. 13, putting the visit 10 days before a matchup with Levis' former club. A deal would add another quarterback option for New York.

What to watch: New York's next step is a decision on a practice-squad contract.
