The New York Jets didn’t hold back in their sales pitch to free-agent quarterback Derek Carr.

ESPN’s Dianna Russini reported Tuesday the AFC East team told Carr that he could become a first-ballot Hall of Famer if he comes to New York.

While that seems rather outlandish on the surface, the idea is surely that winning a Super Bowl in the biggest market in the country would be quite the boost for his Hall of Fame chances. After all, Eli Manning had as many Pro Bowl appearances in his entire career as Carr’s four to this point but is likely on his way to Canton, Ohio, in large part because of the two Lombardi Trophies he won in the Big Apple.

The Jets were 7-10 last season but started Zach Wilson, Mike White and Joe Flacco under center.
