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...

Jets fans don’t see a clear cut number two receiver

Jets fans don’t see a clear cut number two receiver

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...

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...

Will McDonald has bulked up...Is it the key to becoming a complete player for the Jets?

Will McDonald has bulked up...Is it the key to becoming a complete player for the Jets?

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...

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.

Could Joe Tippmann and Josh Myers be a position battle for the New York Jets at center?

Could Joe Tippmann and Josh Myers be a position battle for the New York Jets at center?

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...

Aaron Glenn praises Justin Fields: “He’s not trying to be a celebrity quarterback”

Aaron Glenn praises Justin Fields: “He’s not trying to be a celebrity quarterback”

The comment is being construed as a criticism of Aaron Rodgers.

During the first week of Jets OTAs, head coach Aaron Glenn had positive things to say about his new quarterback, Justin Fields.

Glenn was effusive in his praise of Fields, but the line “celebrity quarterback” is understandably generating most of the attention.

The Jets, of course, moved on from the ultimate celebrity quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, in this offseason. Rodgers is always the center of attention wherever he is, and does his best to create news.

Glenn’s comments have people wondering whether his wording was intentional in an attempt to...

Happy Saturday, Gang Green Nation!

You made it to the weekend after a long work week. The Jets can say the same. They kicked off their OTAs this past week. As far as offseason practices go, this was eventful. There was plenty of news, mostly from what was said to the media. At the top of the list, Garrett Wilson stated that he wants to spend his career with the Jets. Hopefully this is a sign a contract extension is on the horizon.

Jets helped keep “Tush Push” legal...Will they take advantage?

Jets helped keep “Tush Push” legal...Will they take advantage?

Hello, Justin Fields.

In case you missed it, earlier this week the NFL had a vote to ban the “tush push.

Of the 32 teams in the NFL, 22 voted to ban it. However, the rule change requred 75% of teams (24 of 32) to vote for a ban. Thus the “tush push” remains legal in 2025.

The Jets were one of the ten teams to vote against the ban.

The Super Bowl Champion Eagles have used the “tush push” to turn short yardage situations into almost automatic conversions. Using the mobile 6’1” 223 pound Jalen Hurts, the play has...

Garrett Wilson says he wants to be a “Jet for life”...How much will that cost?

Woody Johnson better be ready to open his checkbook.

Star Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson generated headlines this week at OTAs when he declared he wants to be a Jet for life.

First let’s start off by noting this is very good news. Near the end of last season, there were a lot of rumblings about Wilson being unhappy. It would be tough to blame him for that. He’s done his job with three straight 1,000 yard seasons to start his career. Still his team has had minimal success.

Of course, a new contract won’t guarantee that Wilson will spend...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets recently exercised the fifth year option for their trio of 2022 first round picks: Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson and Jermaine Johnson. That keeps each of them under contract through the 2026 season. Now there’s talk of a push to get some or all of them locked up in long term contracts before the 2025 season begins. Jermaine Johnson may be a bit problematic on that timeline, as the Jets have yet to see him in action after achilles surgery this past...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The big news regarding the New York Jets today involves star wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Over the years Wilson has been rather vocal about his displeasure with all the losing the Jets have done during his tenure with the team. Speculation has been that he was the least likely member of the celebrated Jets draft class of 2022 to embrace a Jets contract extension. However, Wilson may have put such speculation to bed, as he announced he wants to be a Jet for life. With...
