Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The logjam of unsigned second round NFL draft picks may be on the verge of breaking up. After the first two picks in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft signed unprecedented fully guaranteed deals, the rest of the NFL teams have been trying to hold the line against fully guaranteed second round contracts. As a result, no second-round pick after the first two had signed, until yesterday. The San Francisco 49ers signed 43rd overall pick Alfred Collins to a four-year, $10.3 million contract, with $9 million guaranteed. The New York Jets selected tight end Mason Taylor one pick before Collins at #42 overall. The Collins deal should help set the parameters for players selected in the general vicinity of #43. It seems likely the Jets and Mason Taylor will now move swiftly to finalize a deal. That would be ideal timing, as Jets rookies are scheduled to report to training camp tomorrow. Having all their draft picks signed and in camp on time would be a good way for the Jets to kick off the 2025 season.
