New York Jets
Aaron Glenn has a plan to drag this franchise towards consistent winning
For 14 straight years the New York Jets have missed the NFL playoffs. For years the team has been the butt of jokes around the league for a multitude of reasons. While some of that mockery can be absurd, a lot of it is justified. You’ll find few teams performing as miserably as the Jets have over the past decade. Even fewer whose fans annually go through the rigmarole of convincing themselves that “this is the year”, despite multiple years of evidence depicting otherwise. This isn’t to knock...

Taking a look at the Jets’ new tight end
The Jets signed former Chargers tight end Stone Smartt to a one-year contract during the first week of free agency. Today we break Smartt down in detail.
The 26-year old Smartt is listed at 6’4” and 226 pounds. He was undrafted out of Old Dominion in 2022. He’s mostly been a reserve over the course of his three-year career, but he has started six games and caught 31 passes for 380 yards and a touchdown.
Background
Smartt began his career as a quarterback and wasn’t a highly-sought after high school recruit...

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets
Good morning Gang Green Nation! After the Jets signed Justin Fields to a two year contract worth up to $40 million in free agency it was assumed that Fields would start for the Jets in 2025. Maybe the Jets would bypass the quarterback position in the 2025 draft and take one who could learn behind Fields for a year in 2026. Now, however, more and more quarterbacks are being linked to the Jets. From Shedeur Sanders to Jaxson Dart to Quinn Ewers to Tyler Shough and more, there’s a lot...

Could the Jets take a tight end in the first round?
As I previously detailed, Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda seemingly has a pretty strong source (or set of sources) within One Jets Drive. Due to that, I personally take notice whenever Pauline speaks about the New York Jets and the rumors that he’s hearing.
The most recent comes in his post free agency mock draft, where he selected tight end Tyler Warren to land with the New York Jets at pick 7. Pauline makes clear that this is not because he has a high opinion of Warren but because of...

There will be players who can contribute even though undrafted
It seems like in recent years UDFA’s have been making a bigger impact on the game at a professional level. Maybe this has something to do with many of them receiving bigger contracts than those being selected in the later rounds on Day 3 of the NFL draft. Or maybe it’s a correlation that doesn’t exist and is just a fabric of my imagination. Regardless, here I’ll be highlighting potential UDFA options for the NY Jets to grab after the end of the NFL draft.
For the purpose of this...

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets
Good morning Gang Green Nation! There’s a lot of smoke concerning the New York Jets’ interest in Tyler Warren lately. Now there’s talk that the Jets are “infatuated” and “all in” on the Penn State tight end. Apparently they are trying to set up multiple meetings with him. All this sounds just a tad over the top. Is the new Jets regime really this loose-lipped about their draft preferences? Maybe. But consider this. We are accustomed to terms of Jets free agent deals being disclosed within a couple of days,...

Could the Jets draft their future starting quarterback this year?
The New York Jets kicked off their offseason with the relatively splashy signing of quarterback Justin Fields. However, if a recent report by Rich Cimini of ESPN is to be believed then Fields might not be the only splash that the Jets make at the position.
The quote was taken from a larger article by ESPN that aggregated free agency news and rumors across the league. Related to the Jets, this one is obviously quite major, as taking Dart would be a pretty significant gamble that would tie the franchise’s...

Taking a look at the Jets’ new starting safety
The New York Jets signed former Jacksonville Jaguars safety Andre Cisco to a one-year contract worth up to $10 million during the first week of free agency. Today we break Cisco down in detail.
The 24-year old Cisco is listed at 6’0” and 210 pounds. He was a third round draft pick out of Syracuse in 2021. After coming off the bench in his rookie season, Cisco has been a starter for the past three years. He has racked up 229 tackles and eight interceptions in his career so far.

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets
Good morning, Gang Green Nation.
We will likely see the Jets continue to sign free agents in the days and weeks ahead, but most of these will be relatively minor signings. The focus is starting to turn to the NFL Draft, where the Jets hold the 7th overall pick. We are already starting to hear rumors about which prospects the team might like. Of course, it benefits both the Jets and the prospects themselves to spread these rumors. Some are likely true. Many will be false. It should be an...
