The New York Jets signed former Bears defensive tackle Byron Cowart to a one-year contract early on in free agency. Today we break Cowart down in detail.

Background

10 years ago, Cowart was a five-star high school recruit, having been named to the all-USA...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Today is April Fools Day. You know, the day we get bogus stories and practical jokes everywhere we turn. Turning to the New York Jets, it seems like every day has been April Fools Day for years, as the Jets’ bogus owner keeps on relentlessly driving this franchise over the cliff. Fortunately GGN is not bogus, as evidenced by the badge we earned by a highly respected and heretofore completely unknown list of the top 80 NFL sites.

You can tell there hasn’t been a lot of self-reflection over everything that has gone wrong.

The NFL Players Association recently released the results of a survey in which Jets players ranked Woody Johnson as the league’s worst owner. Some might call that a bad sign. Woody Johnson is apparently not among them.

2024 was a season in which Johnson showed unbelievably erratic decision making. Many of his decisions can be linked directly to the team’s demise. The players in the locker room sure felt so. You can tell how “focused on improving” Johnson is by dismissing their concerns out...

In a shocking bombshell, Mougey says he wants to add good players

Earlier in the offseason I wrote about how the New York Jets could adopt some of the draft views of the Detriot Lions around drafting premium positions. Specifically, I noted how willing the Lions were to draft non-premium positions early in the draft and how the Jets could draft similarly with Aaron Glenn joining the fold as head coach.

Recently, general manager Darren Mougey was asked about his thoughts on this exact topic, and he signaled some alignment with that assumption about Glenn.

While many things could impact...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey recently talked about wanting to keep Allen Lazard on the Jets roster in 2025, to which I say, but why? Allen Lazard is big but plays small. He’s slow, he has some of the worst hands in the NFL, he has no discernible short area quickness, and he’s awful in contested catch situations. It is difficult to find a single thing he does well as a wide receiver. I suppose he’s a decent blocker. When “he’s a decent...

Good morning, Gang Green Nation!

We are a few weeks away from the 2025 NFL Draft. Attention is moving from free agency to what the Jets will do with the 7th overall pick. Buzz continues to grow about the team’s interest in certain prospects, notably tight end Tyler Warren from Penn State. It’s always difficult to tell how legitimate these rumors are. It’s in everybody’s interest to spread false information. For now, all we can do is guess.

Here are your Sunday Jets links.
