  Jets | NYJ making change at kicker    Wed Jun 3, 03:21 PM

Free-agent PK Jason Sanders (Giants) agreed to terms with the New York Jets Wednesday, June 3, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team is also releasing PK Younghoe Koo.

Footballguys view: The Giants released Sanders, a former All-Pro, to clear a roster spot for Juju Smith-Schuster earlier this week. Sanders, formerly of the Miami Dolphins, was by far the most experienced kicker under contract with the Giants. The 30-year-old Sanders has made 84.6% of his NFL field goal attempts. That includes 90.2% in the 2024 season, when he was 12-for-14 from 50-plus yards.

  Jets | NYJ asked about Tanner McKee    Wed Jun 3, 11:12 AM

Philadelphia Eagles QB Tanner McKee received trade interest from the New York Jets, but they were told he'd cost a second-round pick.

Footballguys view: McKee is a free agent after the season, and the Eagles did select Cole Payton in the fifth round of this year's draft. As SI.com's Jeff Kerr notes, the Eagles also have Andy Dalton on the roster, and he could serve as the QB2 this year if they do trade McKee this summer, giving him some reps with the second team. If the Eagles don't find a trade partner for McKee, then he's the QB2 at the start of the season. This summer is going to be interesting to see how the depth chart unfolds.

  Jets | Omar Cooper agrees to deal    Mon Jun 1, 01:48 PM

New York Jets first-round draft choice WR Omar Cooper Jr. agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Jets Monday, June 1, worth $17.5 million, according to a source.

Footballguys view: According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Guide, Cooper is a tough receiver over the middle and a threat after the catch in the short game. But as Sigmund Bloom suggests, Cooper isn't going to be the starting "X" in New York; he isn't suited for that role. He isn't displacing Garrett Wilson as the starting "Z". Kenyon Sadiq is going to get a lot of the snaps that a slot receiver would as a second tight end. Where exactly does Cooper fit in that can make him fantasy-relevant? It could be a slow rookie season for the former Indiana star.

  Jets | Garrett Wilson feeling good    Sat May 30, 03:40 PM

New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson said the recovery from his knee injury was longer than he expected but that he feels great now.

Footballguys view: Wilson will have a chance to start hot with Geno Smith at quarterback, but if the Jets turn to fourth round rookie Cade Klubnik after the season is lost, then Wilson's value could evaporate. His ADP is lower than it was last year, but has not fallen to the lowly level that his 2025 lost campaign would dictate.

  Jets | NYJ having a competition for backup QB spot    Fri May 29, 04:21 PM

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told the media on Thursday, May 29, that the team is having an open competition for the backup quarterback spot between Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook.

Footballguys view: The fourth round pick Klubnik has a good chance to beat out Zappe, who has leveled out as a QB3 on the fringe of rosters after getting a cup of coffee with the Patriots earlier in his career, and Cook, who looked overwhelmed when he got on the field as an undrafted free agent last year.

  Jets | Kenyon Sadiq has surgery    Thu May 28, 11:40 AM

New York Jets first-round pick TE Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) underwent minor surgery to repair a hernia, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Sadiq is expected back for training camp. The team said they knew about the issue before the draft.

Footballguys view: "It's something that he dealt with, and we knew about it going into his last year of college, and he dealt with it during rookie minicamp," head coach Aaron Glenn said. The Jets expect Sadiq to be a key contributor this season, so missed practice time is potentially significant. They used first-round picks on Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper, Jr., with the hope of adding more explosiveness to their offense. Sadiq played with the injury through part of last season, missing one game for Oregon. We'll be watching his status when training camp opens.

  Jets | Breece Hall to be busy?    Mon May 25, 12:08 AM

New York Jets RB Breece Hall will be an important part of what the Jets do on offense, according to offensive coordinator Frank Reich. 'Listen, it's certainly going to be no secret or surprise to say that we're going to want to run the football, and so we'll continue to emphasize that,' Reich said. 'These guys ran the ball pretty well last year, so we'll build on that.'

Footballguys view: While Hall has never finished better than 13th in rushing yards in a season, he hasn't been the issue. The limited touches working in an offense, throwing the ball in catch-up mode, were more responsible. But we've seen Hall used in the passing game. He was a true dual threat in 2023 (he was RB2 overall that season) and 2024, when he produced a combined 133 receptions. The Jets should get improved quarterback play. Geno Smith is an upgrade over Justin Fields, and additions to the receiving corps should create space for Hall in the run game.

  Jets | Cade Klubnik off to solid start    Mon May 25, 12:07 AM

New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik 'looked good' at rookie minicamp, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, and Klubnik remains in the mix for the backup quarterback job as OTAs begin.

Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, the Jets haven't signed a veteran because they want to see what Klubnik can do over the next month. That goes for Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe, too, but it's really about Klubnik. And while Klubnik looked good, that was against mostly undrafted free agents and tryout players. The speed will intensify at OTAs, which should give the coaches a better idea of his ability to absorb and execute the system. The Jets have been in contact with a number of free agents, most notably Russell Wilson, in case the need for a veteran arises.

New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik (ankle, wrist) struggled with a sprained right ankle and wrist injury in his final season at Clemson, and with his play suffering, his draft stock took a nosedive. But, Klubnik remains confident heading into his rookie season. 'In my mind, I'm a winner,' Klubnik said Saturday at rookie minicamp. 'I don't mean that in a boastful way. I think that's the mentality you have to have as a quarterback, and I think that my resume has kind of showed that as well.'

  Jets | Breece Hall gets three-year extension    Fri May 8, 02:52 PM

New York Jets RB Breece Hall agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $45.75 million on Friday, May 8.

Footballguys view: Hall is now the third-highest paid running back in the NFL with an average annual salary of $15.25 million. There were rumblings last year about Hall getting traded, and even this offseason those resurfaced. Instead of moving Hall, the Jets now get a new deal done. He's an RB2 for Fantasy GMs as the Jets try to make the right improvements around him on offense.

  Jets | Kenyon Sadiq signs rookie deal    Fri May 8, 12:23 AM

New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq signed his rookie contract on Thursday, May 7. It is for four years and $22.3 million fully guaranteed.

Footballguys view: Sadiq was arguably the best overall tight end in this draft class. The Jets selected Mason Taylor last year out of LSU, so we'll see Sadiq as the move tight end while Taylor continues as a blocking tight end. Sadiq is more of a TE2 for Fantasy GMs, although the potential to be a TE1 as a rookie is there.

  Jets | Russell Wilson says he has an offer from the Jets    Wed May 6, 01:46 PM

Russell Wilson told the New York Post that he has an offer on the table from the Jets, and he is weighing his options. "I still know I can play ball at a high level," Wilson said.

Footballguys view: Wilson visited the Jets last week to talk to the team about coming aboard as a backup quarterback behind his former Seahawks teammate Geno Smith, and there was a report later in the week that Wilson has also been talking to networks about a television role. There's no word on the details of the offer that the Jets made to Wilson, who began last season as the Giants' starter but ended it as their third-string quarterback.

  Jets | OC says Geno Smith a perfect fit    Wed May 6, 01:32 PM

New York Jets QB Geno Smith is a perfect fit for the team's new offensive scheme, according to offensive coordinator Frank Reich.

Footballguys view: From 2021-2024, Smith started 52 games for Seattle, leading the club to a 28-24 record while completing 68.5 percent of his passes for 12,928 yards with 76 touchdowns and 36 interceptions. As Profootballtalk.com suggested, if Smith is better than that, then the Jets will be in a much better position to have success in 2026. That doesn't mean fantasy investors should be counting on Smith to fuel their fantasy fortunes. But thinking he can keep the players we are invested in, Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall, on schedule is reasonable.

Footballguys view: As the Jets sorted through potential backup options -- which also included Carson Wentz at one point -- GM Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn discussed potential options with Smith. Per Rosenblatt's source, Smith mentioned that he enjoyed working with Wilson when they were with the Seahawks in 2020-21, when Smith backed up Wilson. We'll watch for more.
