ORLANDO, Fla. — The Jets have set themselves up with options at quarterback.

After discussions with team owner Christopher Johnson, general manager Mike Maccagnan and coach Todd Bowles this week at the NFL league meetings, it is clear the Jets brass is happy with how it has set itself up at quarterback for 2018.

The team quickly pivoted to Plan B at the position after missing out on free agent Kirk Cousins. The Jets re-signed Josh McCown, added Teddy Bridgewater then traded up to No. 3 in the draft, where they believe they can land a long-term answer at the position.

Put simply, the draft pick is the investment, Bridgewater is a lottery ticket and McCown is the insurance policy.

Let’s take a look at how this could play out:

Bowles said this week McCown will enter training camp as the starter, but that does not mean he will start Week 1.

“Josh will go into it as the starter,” Bowles said. “By the end of training camp, we’ll see who the starter is. There’s competition at every position — even with the two young safeties, whether it’s Leonard Williams or anyone else, everyone has competition going in. They may be the starter Day 1. If they’re not performing well enough, they won’t be the starter at the end of August. That goes for every position. That’s never changed since I’ve been here.”

I believe the Jets’ preference is to have the rookie quarterback sit and watch for a while, but if he shows that he is capable of starting Week 1, he could win the job. Bowles talked about the difficulty of finding a franchise quarterback in the draft.

“It’s an educated crapshoot,” he said.

Bridgewater is a big question mark. He suffered a major knee injury two years ago, and it remains unclear just how healthy he is. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said their team doctors had concerns still about Bridgewater’s knee.

The Jets have not revealed their plans for how much work Bridgewater will get this spring or summer. It is logical to expect him to be limited during OTAs and minicamp then ramp things up in training camp.

This is why I call him a lottery ticket. If Bridgewater returns to the form he showed in his first two years with the Vikings, the starting job could be his this season. If he struggles, the Jets could cut him before the season and only pay him $1 million. There is no risk here for the Jets.

“If he can regain his previous form, it will be a very good problem to have, to have a lot of good, young, talented quarterbacks on the roster,” Maccagnan said.

If the draft pick and Bridgewater falter in camp, McCown would keep the job, and the Jets would cross their fingers that the 39-year-old can build off a career year in 2017.

“We really like not only what Josh brings to the field as a player, but more importantly what he brings from an intangible standpoint,” Maccagnan said. “He’s exceptional in that area.”

If the Jets feel good about all three quarterbacks at the end of training camp, they could try to trade one of the two veterans. Injuries happen in training camp, and there are usually teams that need quarterbacks at the end of August.

“Quarterbacks are a bit of a commodity in this business, so we’ll see how that all unfolds,” Maccagnan said.

The Jets have been wandering around the quarterback desert looking for an oasis for four decades. Maccagnan acknowledged this week the Jets have to find their franchise quarterback.

“Until you achieve that, you’re constantly looking to find one,” he said. “There are teams that are fortunate to have those players, and [there’s] not a lot of those players in the league. We’re like a lot of teams who maybe have not quite solidified that. Our focus now is to identify and acquire one of those players. Maybe he’s on our roster and maybe he’s in the draft. We’ll see how it unfolds going forward.”
