“If no deal is reached” very strongly suggests the Jets are his preference. I think it’s time for Underhill to stop just blindly reporting whatever he’s fed from his FO source(s).
He didn't get that from FO sources. He got that from people who know Glenn. And what he said was he did not have a favorite at that time. That doesn't mean that he doesn't now have a favorite. And we still don't know if the Jets are his favorite or not.
