Gee Scott Gee Scott Signs with Jets as receiver
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 6:47 PM
The Jets signed Scott on Thursday, Amanda Vogt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv, Scott has cut some weight and recently worked out with the club as a wide receiver before being signed. He'll probably need to make a great early impression with the coaching staff to have any chance at a spot on the final 53-man roster for 2026. |

Reverts to Jets' IR
Wed, Jun 3, 2026, 8:10 PM
King (undisclosed) reverted from waivers to the Jets' injured reserve list Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: King wasn't claimed by another team after the Jets waived him Monday, so now he'll have to spend the entire 2026 campaign on IR unless he negotiates an injury settlement with the team. For now, his absence could free up more reps at linebacker for rookie undrafted free agents Jaden Keller and Chase Wilson. |

Adonai Mitchell Adonai Mitchell Meshing well with new QB
Wed, Jun 3, 2026, 3:51 PM
Mitchell has showcased impressive chemistry with new starting quarterback Geno Smith at OTAs, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mitchell was, specifically, Smith's most-targeted pass-catcher during Tuesday's practice, in which the Jets ran drills to simulate high-pressure situations such as third-and-long. Rosenblatt also notes that Mitchell and Smith connected frequently during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills in May. New York acquired Mitchell via trade with the Colts last November, and across eight games with the team he secured 25 of 59 targets for 312 yards and two scores, including an 8-102-1 performance against the Falcons in Week 13. With the Jets' offense seemingly in position to take a step forward with Smith under center in 2026, Mitchell will have an opportunity to capitalize on a starting role alongside Garrett Wilson and rookie first-round pick Omar Cooper. |

Jason Sanders Jason Sanders Replacing Koo in New York
Wed, Jun 3, 2026, 2:54 PM
The Jets are signing Sanders and waiving Younghoe Koo, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Sanders took just one day to find a new team after the Giants released him on Tuesday. He held down the placekicking job in Miami from 2018 to 2024, but after missing all of last season with a hip injury, Sanders may have to compete with Cade York (groin) for the Jets' placekicker job. York has been missing OTA practices due to a groin injury, so the Jets might even consider bringing in another kicker at some point. |

Participating in OTAs
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 7:34 PM
Thomas (shoulder) is participating in OTAs, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The cornerback's 2025 season ended in December when he suffered the shoulder injury. A third-round pick a year ago, Thomas played in 12 games and on 311 defensive snaps as a rookie, recording seven pass breakups. He should be in the mix for a role again as 2026 approaches. |

Da'Quan Felton Da'Quan Felton Signs with Jets
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:48 PM
Felton signed with the Jets on Monday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver agreed to a deal with the Giants as an undrafted free agent last April, got waived with an injury designation before the 2025 campaign, spent the season on injured reserve with an undisclosed issue and got waived again by the G-Men in April. Now, Felton will try to find a home with the other New York team. The Virginia Tech product caught 70 passes for 1,027 yards and 10 touchdowns in two seasons with the Hokies. |

Bailey Zappe Bailey Zappe Competing for backup role
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:35 PM
Zappe is serving as the second-team quarterback for the Jets during organized team activities, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Zappe has nine career regular-season starts, giving him more experience than fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik and second-year pro Brady Cook. With Geno Smith locked in as the team's starter, Zappe, Klubnik and Cook are competing in an "open competition" for the backup role, per Cimini. |

Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson Praises new OC's system
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 1:06 PM
Wilson has praised new offensive coordinator Frank Reich's system during OTAs, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: "This is probably one of the offenses that I'm going to look back on in a few years and love the most," Wilson said Thursday, adding that he appreciates the empowering nature of Reich's approach, which leaves more decisions in receivers' hands during plays. Wilson overcame subpar coaching and quarterback play to exceed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three NFL seasons, but the 2022 first-round pick had just 395 receiving yards in 2025 while missing 10 games due to a knee injury, from which Wilson has since recovered. |

Cade York Cade York Dealing with groin injury
Thu, May 28, 2026, 6:05 PM
York (groin) has not been able to participate in OTAs this week, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's unclear if the issue is serious and will require York to miss time beyond this week, though it likely contributed to New York's recent signing of Younghoe Koo, according to Cimini. York signed a one-year deal with the Jets in March after not seeing any regular-season action in 2025. |

Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson Participating in OTAs
Thu, May 28, 2026, 12:09 PM
Wilson (knee) is participating in OTAs this week, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: After not missing a game during his first three seasons in the league, Wilson was limited to just seven contests last regular season. He hyperextended his knee in Week 6 against the Broncos and was placed on injured reserve before returning for Week 10 against the Browns. Wilson played just 19 offensive snaps against Cleveland and sprained the same knee. He was shut down for the remainder of a lost season for New York. Now healthy, Wilson is looking to build chemistry with new starting QB Geno Smith. |

Kenyon Sadiq Kenyon Sadiq Out for OTAs after hernia surgery
Thu, May 28, 2026, 10:29 AM
Coach Aaron Glenn said Sadiq (abdomen) underwent a "minor procedure" and will miss OTAs this week, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Glenn said the first-round rookie will be ready for training camp later this summer after undergoing surgery for a sports hernia. While listed as a tight end, Sadiq is expected to mainly line up detached from the line as more of a receiver with the Jets, allowing Mason Taylor and Jeremy Ruckert to handle more of the traditional tight end duties. |

Younghoe Koo Younghoe Koo Signing with Jets
Wed, May 27, 2026, 4:33 PM
The Jets are slated to sign Koo, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: Koo spent time with the Falcons, his original NFL team, as well as the Giants in 2025, combining to make six of his nine field-goal attempts and 13 of his 14 extra-point tries in six regular season games (one with Atlanta and five with New York). With the Jets, the 31-year-old will have a chance to compete for kicking duties with Cade York and Lenny Krieg. |

Brady Cook Brady Cook Facing competition for QB2 spot
Thu, May 14, 2026, 10:51 AM
Cook is set to compete with rookie fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik for the second spot on the Jets' quarterback depth chart behind Geno Smith, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Cook got to audition as the Jets' starting quarterback down the stretch in 2025, but the undrafted rookie out of Missouri struggled to a 2:7 TD:INT across five appearances (four starts). The Jets traded for Smith and have already proclaimed the veteran to be their starting quarterback. They also drafted Klubnik out of Clemson, who has thrown the ball well in drills and impressed with his leadership skills. The team could still opt to bring in a veteran backup QB, but as things stand, Cook should get a chance during training camp and the preseason to compete for the top backup role against Klubnik and Bailey Zappe. |

Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis In Jets' backfield plans for 2026
Thu, May 14, 2026, 10:45 AM
Davis is set to reclaim a backup role behind Breece Hall in 2026, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Davis and Braelon Allen have had time to recover from the respective concussion and knee injury that sidelined them to close out the 2025 campaign. The pair of 2024 Day 3 draft picks remain the top backups on the roster behind recently extended starter Breece Hall. Davis has averaged an impressive 5.6 yards per carry on 73 rushing attempts over his first two NFL seasons. |

Braelon Allen Braelon Allen Set for backup role in 2026
Thu, May 14, 2026, 10:42 AM
Allen is set to reclaim a backup role behind Breece Hall in 2026, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Jets appear content to bring back the same running back room they had last season, with Hall leading the way while Allen and Isaiah Davis fill backup roles. Allen has had time recover from an MCL injury suffered last October, which carried a return timetable of 8-to-12 weeks at that point. While the 2024 fourth-round draft pick out of Wisconsin has impressed in practice, Allen will likely continue to cede the majority of backfield opportunities to Hall, who agreed to a three-year, $45.75 million extension with the Jets earlier in the offseason. |

Tim Patrick Tim Patrick Signed by Jets
Wed, May 13, 2026, 4:31 PM
The Jets have agreed to terms with Patrick, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In 16 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2025, the 32-year-old caught 15 of his 24 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns. With the Jets, Patrick will add veteran presence to his new team's wide receiver room, while bringing inside-outside flexibility to the table. As things stand, Patrick figures to compete for rotational WR snaps behind Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper. |

Reverts to injured reserve
Mon, May 11, 2026, 4:40 PM
Smith (undisclosed) reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: Smith was not claimed off waivers and will now stay with the Jets on injured reserve for the 2026 season, barring an injury settlement. The free safety played 14 games last season, split between three separate teams, and is primarily a special teams contributor. |
|
Reverts to reserve/PUP
Mon, May 11, 2026, 4:34 PM
Hartwig (undisclosed) reverted to the Jets' reserve/PUP list Friday.
Analysis: Hartwig was waived by the Jets due to an undisclosed issue that caused him to fail his physical. The center was not claimed off waivers and now will remain on the reserve/PUP list while he recovers from his issue. |

Picked up by Jets
Sun, May 10, 2026, 1:37 PM
Young (ankle) signed with the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: Young appeared in 56 games with 12 starts over his first four seasons with the Saints, but he spent the entire 2025 campaign on IR with an ankle injury. The 2021 sixth-round pick was one of 31 tryout players during the Jets' rookie minicamp, and he is heading into his age-29 season. |

Will Ferrin Will Ferrin Competing for starting job
Fri, May 8, 2026, 6:26 PM
Ferrin signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Analysis: The Jets' kicker competition is wide open, as Ferrin will face off against Cade York -- who last played in 2024 when he hit nine of 13 field-goal attempts (69.2 percent) -- and Lenny Krieg from the European Football League. In his final year at BYU, Ferrin hit 23 of 30 field-goal attempts (76.7 percent), including four of six tries from beyond 50 yards. |
