Jets Trade Mike Williams To Steelers

Jets Trade Mike Williams To Steelers

Jets get a 2025 5th round pick for Williams

The New York Jets have agreed to trade 30 year old wide receiver Mike Williams to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a fifth round pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

The former Los Angeles Chargers star was signed by the Jets in free agency last May. He was coming off surgery to repair a torn ACL and was brought along slowly in training camp. After getting just a handful of snaps in the season opener, Williams soon took on an expanded role in the Jets offense, with poor results. He...

Are You A Buyer Or A Seller?

Are You A Buyer Or A Seller?

Trade deadline day is approaching

Say you are the Jets general manager, are you a buyer or seller at the NFL trade deadline?

You know the Jets won’t be sellers at the deadline since that would mean that Joe Douglas is waving the white flag of surrender and officially signing his own walking papers as he is fired as the Jets general manager. Unless the Jets finish strong and make the playoffs, Joe might not have enough time to clean out his desk before he is shown the door.

That means the Jets will be starting over with a horrible...

2024 NFL Power Rankings, Week 10: A Glimmer of Hope

The Jets put together a big second half in a win over the Houston Texans and sparked a bit of hope

The New York Jets played the first place Houston Texans last Thursday night. It looked like a game the Jets should lose. They didn’t. After an ugly first half in which the Jets look disinterested, disorganized and discombobulated, the Jets put together an outstanding second half effort to overcome a 7 - 0 halftime deficit and emerge with a 21 - 13 victory. Aaron Rodgers threw three second half touchdown passes, Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson each had 90+...

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

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Shout out to Mr. Wells for holding down the fort over the weekend as usual. With the New York Jets’ win against the Houston Texans last Thursday, the team gets a nice mini-bye until they must play the Arizona Cardinals and Kyler Murray. To be honest, this Cardinals game isn’t a walk in the park that some fans may believe - as Arizona has an incredible rushing attack. That’s been the Jets’ kryponite thus...

The Kansas City Chiefs host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight on Monday Night Football

Monday Night Football, Week 8. Tonight the Kansas City Chiefs host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 pm EDT. The Chiefs are 9.5 point home favorites against the Buccaneers according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

The 4-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers come into this game losers of three of their last four games, their only win in that stretch coming against the abysmal New Orleans Saints. The Buccaneers defense has collapsed, giving up a combined 135 points over the last four games. It’s tough to win...

One win does not a season make.

What are the things we saw that give Jets fans hope, and what things did we see that give Jets fans pause before calling the Jets playoff material?

Scouting Jets kicker Spencer Shrader

Scouting Jets kicker Spencer Shrader

Taking a look at a Jets kicker prospect

The New York Jets recently signed kicker Spencer Shrader to their practice squad following Greg Zuerlein’s struggles/injury, although they opted to give Riley Patterson the kicking duties ahead of Shrader in Thursday night’s game. Let’s look at Shrader in more detail.

The 25-year old Shrader is listed at 6’2” and 201 pounds and was undrafted out of Notre Dame this year. Shrader has kicked in one regular season game, during which he made 3-of-3 kicks (all extra points). He made 68 percent of his field goals in college, where he played four...

Haason Reddick seems to have picked up where he left off

Haason Reddick seems to have picked up where he left off

The Jets pick up a pass rusher when they really need one

One of the concerns when a player reports to a team late is that they aren’t going to be up-to-speed when they do show up. This is thought to be because “no amount of training can replicate game reps,” or something to that effect.

No one must have told New York Jets edge rusher Haason Reddick about that though.

Needless to say, this was a great game for Reddick on the pass rushing front, which is what the Jets acquired him to excel at. This is a huge...

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

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Assuming the four current AFC division leaders and the Baltimore Ravens are close to locks to make the playoffs, the final two AFC berths are likely to come down to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Denver Broncos, the Indianapolis Colts and the Cincinnati Bengals, with a slim possibility the Miami Dolphins and/or the New York Jets make a run. The Broncos, Colts and Dolphins all lost yesterday, helping the Jets out. Now it’s up to the Jets to show they’re capable of making a run....

The Jets embark on a crucial western trip

The New York Jets scored their first victory since mid-September and their third victory of the season last Thursday with a 21 - 13 win over the Houston Texans. The win moved the Jets into second place in a bad AFC East division and kept the Jets hovering on the periphery of the AFC wild card race.

Now the 3-6 Jets head west to take on the 5-4 Arizona Cardinals in Arizona. A win will keep the Jets’ faint playoff hopes alive for another week. A loss would give the Jets seven...

Week 9 of Sunday Night Football features a matchup between the Vikings and the Colts

Sunday Night Football, Week 9. Tonight we have the Minnesota Vikings hosting the Indianapolis Colts. The Vikings are 5.5 point home favorites according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

The 4-4 Indianapolis Colts come into this game off a 23 - 20 loss to the Houston Texans. After that loss the Colts replaced struggling young quarterback Anthony Richardson in the starting lineup with old pro Joe Flacco. The Colts have been bad defensively, ranking 28th in the NFL in yards allowed, 25th in first downs allowed, 24th in...
