FLORHAM PARK, NJ – Week two of OTAs kicked off yesterday and as Todd Bowles is constant reminding us, “they’re just in shorts and t-shirts” so there’s only so much we can takeaway from what we’ve seen. But you don’t care about that, you want updates so let’s get right to the updates. QBs – The quarterback…
FLORHAM PARK, NJ – Football is in the air, it felt like a typical fall day and the New York Jets were out on the practice field together for their first full practice in front of the media in 2018. Most of the practice was installs and plays being run at half-speed with no real contact…
FLORHAM PARK, NJ – For the first time ever Sam Darnold stepped on a football field wearing New York Jets gear (practice gear of course) and threw a football in front of the New York media. Sure, that’s a lot of qualifiers on this debut, but with those qualifiers today counts as a debut of sorts…
DALLAS – After only having one pick on Day 2 of the NFL draft the New York Jets were far more busy on the third day of the draft. They traded down with the Vikings (twice) and drafted a tight end, cornerback, another defensive tackle a running back and they traded their seventh-round pick to…
With their third-round pick the New York Jets took defensive lineman Nathan Shepard out of Fort Hays State. Shepard is a giant of a man, 6’4″ 315 pounds from Ontario, Canada, he’s also 24-years-old continuing Mike Maccagnan’s trend of drafting older players in the middle rounds. “I would say simply, he may be slightly older than…

Sure, this time Maccagnan needed to trade up for it to happen, but throughout the process the large majority of people had Sam Darnold going…
The New York Jets will be drafting a quarterback with the third pick in the draft tomorrow night, this was obvious from the moment that they (wisely) swapped their sixth-overall pick and three second-round picks to move up three spots in the draft. Mike Maccagnan didn’t trade away all those picks to not take a…
FLORHAM PARK, NJ – Nick Mangold was – by every definition – a throwback player who played his entire 11-year career with only one team and now number 74 will never be worn again by a Jets player. One day the Jets will retire Mangold’s jersey and he will enter the Jets Ring of Honor with…
For the big name players at the big name schools, Pro Days are over. They showed off their measurables at the combine, then again at their Pro Days with scouts from all the teams in attendance. For other players, players just hoping to become a late round draft pick or an undrafted free agent, local…
After kicker Chandler Catanzaro agreed to a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Jets were left without a kicker. They weren’t left without one for long as they signed Cairo Santos to a one-year deal. The Jets have been unsettled at kicker since Nick Folk got hurt and couldn’t rebound into the clutch kicker…
