Brady Cook named Jets starting QB Week 15 vs. Jaguars

Brady Cook named Jets starting QB Week 15 vs. Jaguars

The Jets have named their starting quarterback for their Week 15 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and it is rookie Brady Cook.

Through the week, it seems like things were heading in this direction. Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor were unable to practice due to respective knee and groin injuries.

The team also signed quarterback Adrian Martinez, who spent preseason in New York. Martinez isn’t a great prospect. In fact, the Jets chose to keep the undrafted Cook over him for the third quarterback role. If Martinez isn’t here for upside, it was likely the signing was for the need...

Josh Myers is staying with the Jets past 2025

Josh Myers is staying with the Jets past 2025

Starting center Josh Myers and the Jets have agreed to terms on a two years contract extension per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

While Myers nominally competed with Joe Tippmann in training camp for the starting center job, he was originally signed to be a depth player on the offensive line. Alijah Vera-Tucker’s injury changed that. Myers was inserted into the starting lineup, and Tippmann shifted to guard.

Myers hasn’t played like a star, but he has provided a degree of stability in the middle of the line. Perhaps more significantly, after an uneven start Tippmann has been playing at guard at...

Good morning Gang Green Nation!

Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields both did not practice yesterday for the second straight day. This sets the stage for the Jets to go into their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday with the same two quarterbacks who battled it out in preseason for a practice squad slot. Brady Cook is likely to start the game, with Adrian Martinez likely to be the backup. This isn’t written in stone; there is still time for Taylor and/or Fields to get healthy enough to play. However, for now the practice squad duo appears the most likely...

Tankers can rejoice looking at Jets remaining schedule

Tankers can rejoice looking at Jets remaining schedule

According to Tankathon, the Jets currently own the 7th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft with four games left in the season. Obviously the results of those four games will have an impact on where the Jets eventually select.

Many Jets fans want the team to lose out to achieve as high of a selection as possible. Those fans might be pleased to know that the remaining schedule is one of the league’s most difficult.

Tankathon has the Jets with the fourth most difficult finish in the league. In those four games, the Jets have three of the six...

Good morning Gang Green Nation!

The New York Jets signed quarterback Adrian Martinez to the practice squad recently. Martinez was in Jets camp this year before he was cut just before the season. He signed with the San Francisco 49ers practice squad before being cut by the 49ers this week. The signing of Martinez hints at Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor both potentially being unavailable on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If that happens and the Jets go into this game with Brady Cook and Adrian Martinez as the two active quarterbacks, a new low will have been reached by...

Jets Reacts Survey Week 15: Who should start at quarterback?

Jets Reacts Survey Week 15: Who should start at quarterback?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Jets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

The Jets have four games left in the 2025 season.

This is a year where more has gone wrong than right. That is particularly true at the quarterback position. The signing of Justin Fields will go down as a failure. Tyrod Taylor has performed better than Fields but still isn’t playing at a particularly high level. Undrafted rookie Brady Cook struggled...

Through 14 Weeks: Where are the Jets most likely to pick?

Through 14 Weeks: Where are the Jets most likely to pick?

Two weeks ago when we did this exercise, the New York Jets were effectively tied with the New Orleans Saints for the third-highest draft odds and were projected to pick right around fourth overall. Since then, the Jets played two games, both as slight underdogs. They beat the Atlanta Falcons and then got blown out by division rivals Miami. Let’s take a look at how that impacted where the Jets are most likely to be picking.

As a reminder, we’re using the same two metrics as before: DAVE (FTN’s predictive metric) and ESPN’s FPI. Both are forward-looking, all-encompassing team metrics...

A way too early Free Agency Preview – Offense

A way too early Free Agency Preview – Offense

The Jets season is over. They’ve missed the playoffs for a 15th straight season. All that’s left now is to determine where they will select in the 2026 NFL Draft. With that in mind, I think we often wait too long to talk about free agency. At this point we have a good idea of who will hit the market and who will get tagged. Sure, some teams may re-sign players early, but that doesn’t happen often.

So let’s take a look at the positions where the Jets need help and who may be available. With likely more than $100...

Good morning Gang Green Nation!

The New York Jets signed Jonathan Kingsley to the practice squad recently. Kingsley is a 6’ 4”, 260 pound defensive end. He was in Jets camp last summer. Kingsley will turn 28 years old in the offseason. He has been in the NFL since 2022 and he has never amassed more than five tackles in any season. He has never recorded a sack in the NFL. All of which begs the question, why? On a rebuilding Jets team that is undergoing a major youth movement, why sign a soon to be 28 year old fringe...

Should Tanner Engstrand survive the season?

Should Tanner Engstrand survive the season?

The Jets are set up in 2026 to start building a team in the vision of Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey. They have four picks in the first two rounds of the draft, and they’ll have over $100 million in cap space after some obvious cuts. They may even put themselves in a position to draft a franchise QB depending on how they finish the season. It’s honestly an enviable place to be in comparison to some of the other horrible teams in the league.

But all of that only matters if the Jets have the coaching staff in place...

Good morning Gang Green Nation!

The New York Jets face the first place Jacksonville Jaguars on the road next Sunday. As of today, we don’t know which Jets quarterback will be under center. Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor are dealing with injuries, and we don’t know whether either will be healthy enough to suit up. Barring an injury popping up this week, Brady Cook should be good to go. If neither Fields nor Taylor are healthy enough to suit up on Sunday, the Jets will need to find a backup quarterback somewhere. If they sign a new quarterback this week,...
