FLORHAM PARK, NJ – Listen, it’s rookie camp and there’s 64 players, nine draft picks, eight non-rookies already signed to the team and eight undrafted free agents. That leaves 37 players on tryouts and only a handful of them, at most, will be invited to OTAs. What I’m getting at is, these past two days…
PHILADELPHIA – Jets GM Mike Maccagnan sat put for his first three picks, then he put on his trading hat. Maccagnan traded down four different times in this draft, the most ever in Jets franchise history. The Jets started this draft with seven picks and left with nine players and the Cowboys fifth-round pick in…
FLORHAM PARK, NJ – The Jets streak of drafting safeties stopped at two, but they extended the streak of SEC players to three with the selection of Alabama receiver ArDarius Stewart. After trading down from the 70th overall pick to the 79th pick, and picking up an extra fifth-round pick in the process, the Jets…
With their second-round pick the Jets decided to double-dip in the safety pool, as well as the SEC pool, and drafted Marcus Male from Florida.

Like with Leonard Williams the Jets benefitted from some surprising moves ahead of them and were able to scoop up the best player available who they most likely didn’t expect to still be onboard at six. With that sixth pick the Jets drafted LSU safety Jamal Adams. Most people assumed Adams would be off the…
Draft day is finally here! I don’t know about you, but it’s my favorite day of the year. Sure you have that narrative about hope and the future and all that jazz, but really I just love watching how everything unfolds. To see how teams think and build their rosters and how their blueprint differs…
Every year, when discussing who the Jets should take in the first round, I’m inevitably met with a chorus of “trade down, they have to trade down.” To which I inevitably respond, “sure, that sounds great but it’s not that simple.” The same applies this year – reasons to be discussed below – but there’s…
We are well into mock draft season and many of you may know my feelings on mock drafts but even more of you probably do not. Mock drafts are awesome and fun, but also pointless. I don’t do mock drafts myself because I won’t pretend to know for sure what the Jets are going to…
The Jets decided on their veteran quarterback as they have reached an agreement with Josh McCown. The 37-year-old quarterback has sign a signed one-year deal worth $6 million and is fully guaranteed. Read into it what you like – people on Twitter are already saying that the contract means he’ll be the Week One starter…
