• Tough Decisions Ahead for Mougey; Predicting 53-Man Jets Roster


    General Manager Darren Mougey isn’t going to have an easy time putting together his 53-man Jets roster.  Several players have come from out of nowhere to make a valid case to hang around.  The defensive line and cornerback groups will be particularly difficult to work through, but we’ll give it our best guess here.

    Could Jets Roster Cuts Return to College Under New NCAA Rules?
    There is a new wrinkle to NFL roster cuts this year. Recent NCAA eligibility changes and court rulings could allow some players who are waived by NFL teams to return to college football. It isn’t as simple as getting cut and going back to school, though. Eligibility depends on each player’s college history, and several of the rules are still being challenged in court. With that in mind, here is what we know so far and a look at some Jets bubble players who could potentially be impac

The final practice had plenty of competitive work, including positional drills, 7-on-7 and extended 11-on-11 periods. Geno Smith finished Jets camp with one of his better practices, while Adonai Mitchell continued to show the chemistry with Geno that we have been writing about throughout the summer.

    There are reports saying the Jets will waive Cade York on Tuesday, leaving Jason Sanders as the only kicker currently on the roster. That ends the training camp battle between the two, but let’s take a look at how the competition went. The Jets could certainly add another kicker as players become available around the league. Based on what we watched throughout training camp, that possibility shouldn’t be dismissed. Sanders had some good days, but he also had some misses, includ

He was running, cutting, and changing directions, and based on what we saw firsthand, he looked good moving around.

Following their loss against the Buccaneers in the first preseason game of 2026, the Jets traveled to the west side of Pennsylvania to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the preseason may not matter a ton, the Jets defense played their hearts out, and the offense did well enough for the Jets to put this game away, 17-0. This is always a v

    The Jets gave fans plenty to think about on Friday night, starting with Geno Smith finding Jelani Woods and an offense that continues to show signs of having more weapons. If that continues, the Jets may not have to rush Cade Klubnik onto the field before he is ready. Klubnik had a good night as well, although the running game remains something to watch after averaging just 2.6 yards per carry, even with a 16-yard Klubnik run included.
