Taking a look at a candidate to kick for the Jets in 2025

The New York Jets recently signed former Ole Miss placekicker Caden Davis as an undrafted free agent. Let’s therefore look at Davis in more detail.

The 24-year old Davis is listed at 6’2” and 210 pounds. He was undrafted out of Ole Miss in April. Davis was at Texas A&M for four years before transferring to Ole Miss in 2023. He made 81 percent of his field goal attempts over the last two years.

Background

Davis was a three-star high school recruit and enrolled at Texas A&M...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets begin their second week of OTAs today. Like the first week there will be three straight days of practices. Next week the Jets have four OTA practices scheduled, followed by mandatory minicamp in two weeks. Then comes the dead period, as players head home for roughly seven weeks before training camp begins in late July.

The Jets reportedly had 100% attendance last week. That’s better than the alternative, but it probably won’t mean much, and will probably not be much remembered,...

Was there a starter on day three?

In the NFL, any team that wants to be successful needs to hit in the Draft. It’s a nonnegotiable.

Teams need 22 starters and a bunch of depth and role players. There is a hard salary cap in this league. This means that teams can’t only hit early in the Draft. They also need to find value in the later rounds.

We are still in the very early stages of the Aaron Glenn-Darren Mougey era. Their first Draft class means as much as any other class. We don’t want to read too much...

Taking a look at a rookie Jets quarterback

The New York Jets recently signed former Missouri quarterback Brady Cook as an undrafted free agent. Today we break Cook down in detail.

The 23-year old Cook is listed at 6’2” and 215 pounds. He started 39 games in five seasons with the Tigers. He passed for over 9,000 yards and 49 touchdowns with just 15 interceptions, while also rushing for 20 scores.

Background

Cook was a three-star high school recruit who headed to Missouri and redshirted his first season in 2020, although he did see brief action in three games, completing...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets have just north of $25 million in current available cap space, and they will add almost $23 million to that figure on June 2, 2025, when the post June 1 cuts kick in. All that cap space has led to some speculation that the Jets will soon sign Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner to monster extensions. That could soon come to fruition, but I’m not convinced it’s inevitable.

Gardner, Wilson and Jermaine Johnson all have had their fifth year options picked...

It’s anybody’s guess who Garrett Wilson’s top sidekick will be.

This week in our SB Nation’s React poll, we asked you to tell us who will slide into the number two wide receiver role for the Jets. Garrett Wilson is the team’s top receiver by a mile. Behind him is an undistinguished field.

There isn’t a clear answer, and our poll results are a vivid display.

Josh Reynolds the top vote getter, but he received just over one-third of the votes.

Reynolds only had 13 catches in 9 games a year ago and has never put together so much as...

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

Good morning Gang Green Nation! There’s not much happening with the Jets today. The biggest thing seems to be the competition between Joe Tippmann and Josh Myers for the starting center position. Tippmann had a strong season last year in his second year in the NFL, but Myers may have an advantage in that he was Justin Fields’ teammate in college and he is more familiar to Aaron Glenn, having played for the Green Bay Packers, a division rival of the Detroit Lions. On a larger scale, it will be...

Aaron Glenn suggests the third year defensive end is adding muscle.

As Jets OTAs began, head coach Aaron Glenn made a revelation about defensive end Will McDonald.

I have been wondering for some time whether the Jets would have McDonald put on bulk.

At the time the Jets drafted him out of Iowa State, he was undersized for the defensive end position. It did not, however, seem like he had fully filled out his frame. I had the feeling based on his measurables that he could add bulk without losing speed or explosiveness.

After his rookie season, the Jets made...

Ti portiamo i link giornalieri ai New York Jets della NFL.

Good morning, Gang Green Nation.

We have a new slate of links for you to enjoy on this Sunday. We’ve got Josh Reynolds criticism. We’ve got Azareye’h Thomas praise. And we’ve got what I’m sure will be your favorite, speculation about players the Jets might sign. At this time of year, there is always a lot of speculation about trades and signings. A small fraction of them ever happen, but that won’t stop us from dreaming up ways to improve the Jets.

Enjoy that speculation below.

This would be unexpected.

After a solid second season, Joe Tippmann seemed locked in as the starting center for the Jets for the foreseeable future. The Athletic’s Zach Rosenblatt suggests this might not be the case.

There could be a legitimate competition at center between Joe Tippmann and free-agent signee Josh Myers — something general manager Darren Mougey alluded to at the league meeting in March. “Those guys are battling their asses off right now, just competing,” guard John Simpson said. “They both are super intelligent and just fighting. They’re warriors.”

It isn’t entirely clear whether Rosenblatt has solid...
