We begin running through potential free agent targets for the Jets, starting things off with one of the headliners of the offensive line market — right guard Brandon Scherff. Born: December 26, 1991 (Age: 28.1) Hometown: Denison, Iowa High School: Denison (IA) College: Iowa Draft: R1, #5 overall by Washington Redskins in 2015 2019 Cap…
Overall, 2019 was a beautiful season for the Jets’ special teams, but there was one glaring issue — kicker. The Jets ranked 31st in both field goal percentage (67.9%) and extra point percentage (85.2%) in 2019. After Kaare Vedvik cost the Jets four desperately-needed points in their season-opening one-point loss to Buffalo, the team’s choice…
For the longest time, Jets fans never had to give the slightest care to special teams. The team was going to excel in that phase of the game. It was a given. Why? The legendary Mike Westhoff. Over his 13 years in New York, the Jets ranked top-10 in special teams DVOA eight times, achieving…
Henry Anderson burst onto the scene in 2018, picking up seven sacks, 16 quarterback hits, and a total of 48 pressures. The Jets rewarded him with a three-year, $25.2 million deal, locking up another piece of their defensive line.

Levine Toilolo, San Francisco 49ers Age: 28.4 Free Agent Type: Unrestricted Height/Weight: 6’8,…
Anybody who watched a single snap of NFL football in the year 2019 knows that it was a rough year for the Jets offense — if we’re putting it nicely. The Adam Gase-led unit ranked last in offensive DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average), EPA (estimated points added), points per drive (1.23), yards per drive (22.9),…
The 60th season of New York Jets football is in the books. In Adam Gase’s first season as head coach, the Jets finished with an improved, albeit disappointing 7-9 record. Where did they wind up on the statistical leaderboards? Let’s dig in. PASSING OFFENSE: Passing yards per game: 194.4 (29th) Passing touchdowns: 19 (27th) Interceptions…
The Jets shook up the AFC Wild Card race with an upset victory over the Steelers, as Gregg Williams’ defense dominated the day. How did the victory affect their rankings across the league in various statistics? Let’s dive in. PASSING OFFENSE: Passing yards per game: 195.1 (30th) Passing touchdowns: 18 (T-26th) Interceptions thrown: 15 (T-22nd)…
The Jets were obliterated in Baltimore by the most dominant team in football, barely staying competitive with their injury-plagued roster.
