Jets | Omar Cooper having some missteps Wed Aug 12, 03:25 PM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has shown some inconsistencies during training camp, but wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson said that is normal for a rookie.
| Footballguys view: The team moved up in the 2026 NFL Draft to select Cooper at no.30 overall. He's an outside or slot target who can win with run-after-the-catch ability (think young Deebo Samuel here). The Indiana wideout should be the team's no.3 receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell. |
Jets | Isaiah Williams pushing for bigger role Wed Aug 12, 03:24 PM
New York Jets WR Isaiah Williams has been one of the standout performers during training camp and is pushing for the No. 3 receiver job, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.

Link to story Jets | Isaiah Davis to miss a few weeks Thu Aug 6, 04:40 PM
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (knee) will be sidelined for at least two weeks because of a knee injury, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Davis is the #3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. Some thought Davis could push Allen for the #2 job, but the possibility of that has probably vanished with this injury. If the Jets think this injury will affect Davis into the season, return man Kene Nwangwu would become the #3 running back. Linebacker turned running back UDFA Chip Trayanum could get his foot in the door to make the team or at least the practice squad with Davis sidelined. |

Link to story Jets | Geno Smith pushing ball downfield Wed Aug 5, 10:21 AM
New York Jets QB Geno Smith has been testing all three levels of the defense and really wants to push the ball downfield.
| Footballguys view: The Jets have skill position players who can attack all levels of the defense, so it makes sense Smith would be distributing the rock all over the field. With WR Garrett Wilson as the primary target, we should see Smith target him early and often. He's also got guys like WR Adonai Mitchell, rookie WR Omar Cooper, and rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq (plus RB Breece Hall out of the backfield). The Jets don't have their future franchise QB, and Smith is just a QB3 for Fantasy GMs in 2026. Let some of these young players develop and draft a franchise quarterback, and the Jets will be competitive in the future. |

New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) suffered a setback in his recovery from hernia surgery and will miss time. Head coach Aaron Glenn is confident Sadiq will be ready for the regular season.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq, who was the 16th overall pick in April, had the procedure in May. 2025 second-round pick Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert, Jelani Woods, and Chase Curtis remain available at tight end for the Jets. While Sadiq has considerable value in dynasty leagues, his redraft ADP -- TE21 -- reflects skepticism about the short-term outlook. |

Link to story Jets | Cade Klubnik has shot at backup job Mon Jul 20, 12:16 AM
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik was praised for his mechanics by quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave, and Klubnik is expected to battle QB Bailey Zappe for the backup quarterback job during training camp.
| Footballguys view: Klubnik figures to get plenty of reps in the preseason, an opportunity to win the backup job, and lay the groundwork for late-season playing time. If the Jets fall out of contention, it could mean an audition for Klubnik. The fourth-round pick from Clemson arrives during a transition phase for the Jets, who traded for veteran journeyman Geno Smith to be their bridge quarterback. They appear to be targeting the talent-rich 2027 draft for their quarterback of the future. In the meantime, they will take a long look at Klubnik. |
Jets | More on Geno Smith situation Wed Jul 15, 11:22 AM
Updating previous reports, New York Jets QB Geno Smith won't be charged from a June 21 incident in which a woman claimed domestic violence. The woman, a longtime friend and casual intimate parter of Smith's who provides paid childcare for his son in her multifaceted role as his 'manager,' did not show up to two appointments to provide a sworn statement to police and later had her attorney inform officers that she would not be providing one.
| Footballguys view: Since the incident, Smith received two unrelated traffic citations during a stop on July 6 in Florida: speeding (70 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone) and driving without carrying a license. Smith, who was reacquired in the offseason to start his first games for the Jets since 2016, is due to report for training camp on July 28. It's fair to believe he'll be an upgrade at the position after the Jets worked their way through Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook last year. |

Jets | Geno Smith assault accusation is 'inactive' Tue Jul 14, 02:30 PM
New York Jets QB Geno Smith was previously accused of assault, and the case is now considered 'inactive,' according to the Davie (FL) Police Department.
| Footballguys view: While the Davie Police report concludes no further investigative steps can be reasonably taken with the information presently available, Smith is still in the news. The New York Post obtained body-cam footage from police in Florida who pulled Smith over for a third time due to speeding violations. For the second time in a matter of weeks, he failed to produce a license inside the vehicle. The NFL won't suspend a quarterback for speeding unless it leads to harm to civilians. But the Jets have a very clear issue to deal with when camp opens in two weeks. |

Jets | Omar Cooper Jr. 'most impressive rookie in the spring' Tue Jun 30, 12:32 AM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. was the team's 'most impressive rookie in the spring' and has all but solidified a spot in the team's three-receiver package, in the opinion of Rich Cimini of ESPN on Monday, June 29.
| Footballguys view: According to Cimini, Cooper is a smooth route runner who adjusted nicely to an NFL-style offense. Because of his physical style and run-after-catch ability, he should be even better when the pads go on in training camp. The question for Cooper, who will work behind Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell -- at least to open the season -- is whether he'll get sufficient opportunities to be fantasy relevant. Remember, the Jets also drafted TE Kenyon Sadiq, who joins Mason Taylor at that position. That said, Cooper is a great dynasty play with a great long-term outlook. |
Jets | Kenyon Sadiq will be ready for camp Mon Jun 29, 11:41 AM
New York Jets first-round pick TE Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) will be ready for training camp.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq missed OTAs and minicamp after hernia surgery, stemming from a college injury. The Jets said they were aware of it during the predraft process. While he's expected to be ready for training camp, Sadiq will be behind. According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, OC Frank Reich has a plan for Sadiq, whom he envisions as a mismatch because of his speed and explosiveness. He's a high-end dynasty prospect, but Sadiq's ADP in redraft -- TE17 -- reflects his immediate value. |
Jets | David Bailey needs some refinement Mon Jun 29, 11:21 AM
New York Jets first-round pick EDGE David Bailey needs to work on his run defense and learn how to win with power in his pass rush, but his first-step quickness has stood out.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguys IDP expert Gary Davenport points out, there is always risk involved with rolling out a rookie pass-rusher -- as great as Myles Garrett has been, he had 7.5 sacks in his first season. But Bailey is easily the most pro-ready of this year's class after logging 14.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss last year at Texas Tech. He's also going to see no shortage of snaps in his first season. He is our top-ranked rookie edge rusher. |
Jets | Adonai Mitchell locked into role? Sat Jun 27, 10:25 AM
New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell has 'solidified himself as the No. 2 receiver' with his performance this spring, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Earlier reports indicate that Mitchell has "budding chemistry" with QB Geno Smith from offseason work. Jets OC Frank Reich believes Mitchell can be a perfect complement for the team opposite of Garrett Wilson. From a fantasy perspective, there's more value here with Mitchell than some would think. Consider him as a WR7/deep flex play, and get the TUMS ready in what should be a tumultuous passing game. |
Jets | NFL aware of Geno Smith allegations, declines comment Tue Jun 23, 04:11 PM
The Jets have had no comment on the assault allegation made against quarterback Geno Smith or the investigation that the allegation has sparked. The NFL has addressed the situation. "We are aware of the matter and the club has been in contact with the league," an NFL spokesperson told PFT via email. "We have no further comment at this time."
| Footballguys view: Officers were summoned to Smith's home Sunday afternoon after a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend called 911 and said he assaulted her. No one was arrested or taken into custody at the scene, according to the Davie Police Department, which said Monday it's "not an active case," but still being reviewed. Regardless of whether the criminal investigation results in charges, the NFL can investigate the matter under the Personal Conduct Policy. If the league believes the terms of the policy were violated, discipline can be imposed. We'll continue to watch this closely. |

Jets | Geno Smith being investigated for an alleged assault Tue Jun 23, 12:31 AM
New York Jets QB Geno Smith is being investigated by Davie, FL police for assault allegations stemming from an incident that took place on Sunday, according to a source on Monday, June 22.
| Footballguys view: TMZ says the situation is under review. Fox Sports South Florida reports that the case has already been closed. A spokesperson for the Davie, Florida, police department told the California Post that no one was taken into custody at the scene. The Jets declined comment to the Post. Smith has not yet addressed the matter. The Jets brought Smith, whom they drafted in the second round of the 2013 draft, back earlier this year in a trade with Las Vegas. Smith, who has 98 regular-season starts in 12 NFL seasons, is expected to be the team's starting quarterback in 2026. |

Jets | Adonai Mitchell opens eyes Mon Jun 22, 11:40 AM
New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell showed a rapport with QB Geno Smith, and his grasp of the system allowed him to exhibit vertical speed.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, the Jets figured Mitchell would take a leap this offseason -- his first with the team -- but he has exceeded their expectations. Mitchell, acquired from the Colts last November in the Sauce Gardner trade, solidified himself as the No. 2 receiver. Cimini believes Mitchell, who is currently being drafted as WR76, should be a nice complement to Garrett Wilson. |
Jets | NYJ likely still in the market for backup QB Sun Jun 21, 10:59 AM
The New York Jets are expected to continue looking for veteran quarterback help, although head coach Aaron Glenn recently said that he is fine with the team's current quarterback situation. QB Geno Smith is listed as the starter on the Jets' depth chart, with QBs Brady Cook, Cade Klubnik and Bailey Zappe battling for the No. 2 spot.
| Footballguys view: Klubnik is the rookie from Clemson who has some developmental upside, but the Jets may look to add to their roster anyway. There was an ever-so-brief flirtation with Russell Wilson, but that's now a moot point with the former Seahawks starter retiring this offseason. When we get to training camp, the rumblings about the Jets interest in a quarterback may crescendo. |

Jets | NYJ reportedly not interested in Brendan Sorsby Sun Jun 21, 10:42 AM
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is not expected to be of interest to the New York Jets if he is made available in the NFL supplemental draft next month, according to a source close to the situation.
| Footballguys view: The Jets have Geno Smith as their starter, and fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik (Clemson) as a developmental quarterback. Sorsby may be available in the Supplemental Draft, but some have overstated his value as a pro quarterback. He's got physical talent, like a big arm and rushing ability, but Sorsby's decision-making (not just the gambling stuff) can be called into question. If someone selects Sorsby, they'll have to know that he's got plenty of work to reach his full potential. It sounds like the Jets are not interested in the project. |
Jets | Garrett Wilson looking sharp Thu Jun 18, 11:50 AM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson 'appears to be in mid-season form' based on his performance during minicamp, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is looking sharp while still dealing with "meh" quarterback play (at best). This year, the Jets are going with Geno Smith as their starter and Wilson should be his favorite target. That makes Wilson a mid-range WR2 with the upside to be a weekly WR1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Jets | Cade Klubnik on field Wednesday Wed Jun 17, 01:14 PM
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik (back) is on the field during practice Wednesday, June 17, but is not participating in position drills. He did not participate in practice Tuesday, June 16.
| Footballguys view: Klubnik has been out of practice with back soreness, so his return is a positive. As Profootballtalk.com notes, the Jets' plan is for Bailey Zappe to serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Geno Smith. Klubnik could earn the No. 2 job, but missing time now could put him behind in training camp. A year ago, Klubnik was viewed as a future first-round draft pick, but he had a disappointing final college season, and his draft stock slid to the fourth. The Jets think he has plenty of upside. But they need to see it on the field. |
Jets | Darrell Jackson Jr. inks rookie contract Tue Jun 16, 04:33 PM
