Through the spring and summer, we will be counting down the Jets roster player by player. We continue the series by discussing Jowon Briggs.
Name: Jowon Briggs
Number: 91
Year With Jets: 2nd
Projected Role: Starting defensive tackle
His 2025: The Jets acquired Briggs at the end of training camp in a move that was something of a surprise. The deal with the Cleveland Browns involved a late round pick swap. Briggs was unlikely to make the Browns roster so Cleveland took anything it could get.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it’s the idea that the Steelers could use a franchise tag on cornerback Joey Porter Jr. if contract talks between he and the team do not progress. Porter is set to enter the final season of his rookie contract, with general manager Omar Khan already having extended two of Porter’s draft-mates, the star cornerback is likely near the top of the list for a contract extension.
