Happy preseason eve, Jets fans! With the New York Jets set to take on the Atlanta Falcons in their first preseason game of the year tomorrow night it means today is the day for predicting what the Jets 53-man roster will look like after “final” cut (final is in quotes there because even-though we call…
FLORHAM PARK, NJ – For the first three days of training camp the biggest story was the absence of the rookie quarterback, Sam Darnold. On the fourth day the story finally turns back to what he does on the field. Darnold officially signed a four-year (with a fifth-year-option) deal worth, a fully guaranteed, $30.25 million with…
Florham Park, NJ – “Honestly every year feels different, you know it’s something Muhammad Wilkerson told me when I first came in as a rookie, he said ‘every year is going to be a different team’ and it’s true. Every year I’ve been here so far it’s been a different team and you just have to…
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.

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…
DALLAS, TX – The Jets have their new quarterback and for the third time in Mike Maccagnan’s fourth draft the number one player of his board fell into his lap. 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…
