Jets | Alijah Vera-Tucker an option at right price Sun Feb 22, 01:40 PM
New York Jets impending free-agent OG Alijah Vera-Tucker (triceps) missed the 2025 due to a torn triceps in his left arm. He has played 43 of 85 games across five NFL seasons, and his lack of durability clouds his future with the team. The team has four starting offensive linemen under contract, and they'd be interested in running it back with Vera-Tucker at the right price. One agent who doesn't represent him speculated Vera-Tucker could still fetch $13 million per year on a multi-year contract, while another suggested a one-year prove-it deal.
Link to storyNew York Jets impending free-agent RB Breece Hall is hoping for a deal which makes him among the top-five paid at his position, but there are no indications the team is willing to come close to offering that. The franchise tag is projected to be $14.5 million, and that's a possibility, and the transition tag at $11.7 is also a good possibility. If he leaves via free agency, the Arizona Cardinals are seen as a potential landing spot, as they're coached by former Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent WR Mike Evans is expected to play in 2026, but it is unlikely he will have a franchise tag slapped on him to prevent him from leaving via free agency. The thinking is that Evans would just elect to retire, rather than be forced to play in Tampa. There are no reports he is unwilling to return to Tampa, but he might choose to play for a team he feels is closer to winning a Super Bowl in what is likely to be his final year.
