Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. With the Jets having to cut down to a 53-man roster sooner than later, there’s obviously going to be some odd men out. The likelihood is that the position group most affected by this will be the defensive line. The Jets have plenty of talent at the position. While one would hope the team would figure out a way...

The Jets Should Trade One of Their Young Receivers

The Jets wide receiver room is full of young talented guys with the additions of first round pick Garrett Wilson and undrafted free agent Calvin Jackson Jr.

Why New York Jets OT George Fant will build on successful 2021

When the New York Jets signed George Fant in free agency in 2020, it came as a surprise. He played a total of 1,507 snaps from 2016-19 with the Seattle Seahawks and was going to play his first season as a Jet at 28 years old.

Can The Jets’ Defensive Line Dominate?

The New York Jets’ defensive line is an enigma. The 49ers defensive front was one of the NFL’s best under HC Robert Saleh. The Jets boast four current and former first round picks in theirs.

The Forgotten Men: Five offseason additions that could be more important than expected

Last season, the Jets made several additions to the team, but there was one in particular that nobody seemed to be talking about. That was Keelan Cole, who despite the fact he was coming off a 55-catch season was constantly treated as an afterthought in any discussion of the Jets’ wide receivers.

There was good reason to overlook Cole, as fans were more excited about Elijah Moore and Corey Davis, and the team also had Jamison...

Addressing the New York Jets biggest unknown entering 2022

The New York Jets undoubtedly have a better roster entering the 2022 season. They had an abundance of premium resources between cap space for free agency and the draft, where they made four selections in the top 36 picks.

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. The NFL Network took a look at the Jets schedule, and as it turns out, not everyone is as high on the team this year as the fans are. NFL Network expected the Jets to finish 3-14, which, honestly, would be a massive disappointment. In the NFL, the only thing that matters is results. Having a season end with a W/L record...

The top four strengths of the New York Jets entering 2022

Following an offseason filled with excitement, the New York Jets have some quality strengths throughout their roster. While there are still some concerns, most notably, the run defense, this team has some strong points to feel great about this season.

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Shout out to Mr. Wells for holding down the fort over the weekend as usual. I’d like to be the first to wish you all a happy 4th of July if you are living in the states, and a great day otherwise if you do not. With the Jets triple-dipping into the tight end group this offseason, one was bound to come away with a lead...

Good morning, Gang Green Nation! This weekend the United States celebrates its birthday. 246 years ago, upon the Second Continental Congress’ adoption of Richard Henry Lee’s resolution, that “these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states,” John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail:

I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be...

What to do now?

With the offseason in full swing, players get themselves a little time to relax, work on some training, or go on vacation which is a well deserved break. Meanwhile back at the ranch the Jets front office has some work to do before the training camp begins. I’m sure Joe Douglas, Robert Saleh and the rest of the coaches will get some much needed family time, but there is work yet to be done. Let’s take a look at some of the...

New York Jets Alijah Vera-Tucker ‘starting to feel more comfortable’ at RG

One of the New York Jets’ most significant recent additions was the draft pick of Alijah Vera-Tucker. The team traded up to get him in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft.

Good morning, Gang Green Nation! Another day, another prediction that the Jets will be cellar dwellers in 2022. This time it’s Michael Arinze in a column for the New York Post. Arinze has the Jets at 5.5 wins for the over/under line, the only AFC East team under 8.5 wins. It’s not difficult to figure why the Jets continue to get no respect this offseason, as the team has been a disaster for most of the last decade, and the most recent years have been as...

Why the return of Carl Lawson could change everything for the defense

For quite some time, the New York Jets have lacked a dominant edge pass rusher with speed. In March of 2021, after years without one, the need was finally addressed.

AFC Notes: Bills, Dolphins, Jets, Garrett Wilson

Bills The Bills drafted RB James Cook after signing RB Duke Johnson as a free agent, yet Johnson knows that he has a role to play as a veteran mentor, while still competing with Cook for a spot on the depth chart.

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. While PFF has Zach Wilson’s chances of being a mid-tier quarterback at practically zero, everyone in the Jets building seemingly sees things the opposite way. That of course, should surprise no one. But one interesting tidbit is how quickly Robert Saleh backed off of the Mike White hype after bringing controversy to...

Zach Wilson Spotted Putting In Extra Work This Summer

The jury is still out on whether Zach Wilson is the franchise quarterback the New York Jets are looking for. While he did throw for 2,334 yards and nine touchdowns in his rookie season, he also had 11 interceptions and completed only 55.6 percent of his passes.

New York Jets WR Braxton Berrios expresses optimism for 2022

After re-signing this offseason, Braxton Berrios is one of the New York Jets’ longest-tenured players. Berrios is going into his fourth year with the Jets.
