Photo by Winslow Townson/ There’s something about keeping it in-house in the AFC East, numerous players take a ticket for the merry-go-round between Miami, New York, New England, and Buffalo. Former Jets tackle Brandon Shell found his way to Buffalo yesterday after spending 2022 with Miami and now the Jets are signing former Patriots 2019 draft pick Yodny Cajuste according to Brian Costello of the NY Post. The Jets are signing OT Yodny Cajuste, per source. Cajuste, a 2019 3rd round pick of the Patriots, played in 10 games for NE last year.— Brian Costello...

Photo by Elsa/ Hopefully the Jets’ new QB will bounce back quickly. Living under a microscope is going to take some getting used to. As ESPN descended on Florham Park to take in the first day of OTA’s open to the media, everyone held a collective breath when word leaked that the Jets shiniest new toy Aaron Rodgers had removed his helmet and was visibly favoring one leg to the other. The initial report indicated that he had tweaked his ankle, but Rodgers later confirmed that he tweaked his calf, and decided to take a ‘vet’ day after as a precaution. Instead of...

Photo by Stacy Revere/ PFF has put together a list of the 25 best players under the age of 25 and the Jets are represented by not one, but two players. The Jets have experienced a youth movement over the last two years with Joe Douglas infusing the team with a number of high draft picks (thank you very much Jamal Adams). Two of those players stand out above all others following the 2022 season, and both Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson made the PFF cut. Sauce came in at number 5, being ranked behind Micah Parsons, Justin Jefferson, Tristan Wirfs and Ja’Marr...

Photo by Chris Williams/Icon Sportswire via The New York Jets claimed former defensive back Javelin Guidry off waivers yesterday, returning the slot cornerback to New York after just a year away. Guidry made a name for himself with the Jets after going undrafted out of Utah in 2020. He spent two years in New York before being waived last August. He then spent time with the Cardinals, Raiders, Eagles, and Falcons before arriving back in New York yesterday. Despite being claimed by four teams in a calendar year, 2022 was a bit of a wash for Guidry, as he...

Photo by David Eulitt/ The LA Chargers have gained a good reputation for their schedule release video, putting significant effort into their anime edition. Throughout the video, there is some serious shade thrown at each and every team, and the Jets are no different. Take a look at this still courtesy of NYJ Matt on Twitter and see how many references you can see. I will say one thing, I give the Chargers 10/10 for their research I’m sure I’m going to miss some references and there are obviously a few references to Italian food and food chains in...

Photo by David Eulitt/ NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein used the NFL compensatory process to project picks heading to teams for the 2024 draft. It’s been a long time since the Jets have been involved, but Lance projects three compensatory picks heading to New York next off-season. Projected compensatory picks: One in Round 6; two in Round 7. Key free-agent losses: Dan Feeney (Dolphins), Nate Herbig (Steelers), Sheldon Rankins (Texans), Nathan Shepherd (Saints), Mike White (Dolphins). Key free-agent additions: Mecole Hardman, Allen Lazard. Comp-pick analysis: The losses of...

Photo by Elsa/ May is the time to sit back and take stock of where you are. The first and second wave of free agency has largely passed, the draft is in the bank and rookies are starting to get acclimatized to being part of a professional franchise. Media outlets usually start to release power rankings around this time, and while they mean absolutely nothing when all is said and done, I like to take a look to see how well they match up with my own perception of where the team sits. Personally, I still believe we have some work to do if we want to be championship...

Photo by Mike Comer/ The New York Jets have decided to decline the 5th-year option on offensive tackle Mekhi Becton’s contract according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini. The New York Jets have declined the fifth-year option of offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, per sources.— Dianna Russini (@diannaESPN) May 2, 2023 The decision to decline the option really shouldn’t come as a surprise. Despite Becton reportedly dropping over 50lbs of weight this off-season, the Jets couldn’t ignore the simple facts. Becton is entering his 4th year in the league and he’s played...
