When the New York Jets host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4 on Sunday night, there’s a good chance the MetLife Stadium crowd will be focused more on Taylor Swift cheering in a suite than rooting for the home team. That’s how grim the Jets situation is just three weeks into the 2023 season. […]

After his season-ending (maybe?) injury in Week 1, Aaron Rodgers was replaced as New York Jets starting quarterback by Zach Wilson. Now, three weeks later he has been replaced as one of New York’s team captains. But Wilson, a captain last season, didn’t get this call. Instead, coach Robert Saleh announced Friday that All-Pro defensive […]

Mecole Hardman is going to have a few Taylor Swift questions for former teammate Travis Kelce when the New York Jets host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. The Jets wide receiver is admittedly among the curious about the Chiefs tight end and his budding romance with the pop star, who’s expected to be […]

Trevor Siemian didn’t sign with the New York Jets because he saw an opportunity to replace Zach Wilson as the starting quarterback. Instead, he joined the Jets to help Wilson navigate a difficult situation trying to fill the shoes of Aaron Rodgers, who’s out after season-ending Achilles surgery. “Whatever I can do to help him,” […]

Signing veteran quarterback Trevor Siemian was “the best decision” for the New York Jets, according to coach Robert Saleh. Siemian was signed to the Jets practice squad on Tuesday and practiced with the team on Wednesday. Zach Wilson remains the starting quarterback this week against the Kansas City Chiefs and Tim Boyle will be his […]

Robert Saleh handled the grenade tossed by New York Jets legend Joe Namath as delicately as possible Wednesday. But it’s just the latest obstacle for the coach when it comes to starting Zach Wilson at quarterback. Asked for his opinion of Namath’s scathing review of Wilson earlier in the week, Saleh did his best to […]

Only three weeks into the 2023 NFL season, the New York Jets are a mess and their season is quickly turning sideways. After much offseason hype and Super Bowl expectations, the Jets are 1-2 and reeling offensively after losing quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a season-ending Achilles injury. If that doesn’t sound bad enough, the Jets […]

Watching from the other side of the country Sunday, Aaron Rodgers said he wasn’t happy with what he saw from the New York Jets offense. And that has nothing to do with their inept play in a 15-10 Week 3 loss at home to the New England Patriots. Rodgers watched the game from his home […]

The day after the New York Jets lost an ugly 15-10 game to the New England Patriots, coach Robert Saleh was bombarded with questions about Zach Wilson. But as he did immediately after the dispiriting defeat, Saleh threw his full support behind the embattled quarterback. “He’s our unquestioned quarterback,” Saleh said Monday. “He’s not the […]

Matt Ryan won’t be stepping out of the broadcast booth any time soon to save the New York Jets season. Despite rumors this weekend that Ryan had interest in signing with the Jets after Aaron Rodgers sustained a season-ending Achilles injury, the 38-year-old made it clear he’s not looking to play savior in the Big […]

An all-too-familiar script played out again Sunday, when the New York Jets lost 15-10 to the New England Patriots. And three weeks into the season, it’s starting to feel like 2022 all over again. First off, the Jets still can’t defeat the Patriots. Make it 15 consecutive losses to their biggest rival. Doesn’t matter that […]

The New York Jets lost again to the New England Patriots. And Zach Wilson was again booed after leading a mostly lifeless offensive attack. But the quarterback had a positive message for Jets fans after the 15-10 Week 3 defeat at MetLife Stadium. “Keep believing, man,” Wilson said postgame. “I truly believe we’ve got the […]

After another terrible performance by the New York Jets’ offense in a 15-10 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 3, coach Robert Saleh confirmed that Zach Wilson will remain the starting quarterback. “Right now, he’s who gives us the best chance to win,” Saleh explained postgame. "Right now, he's who gives us the […]

In the midst of a putrid offensive showing against the New England Patriots on Sunday, frustration bubbled over on the New York Jets’ sideline. Running back Michael Carter was caught by CBS cameras yelling at his position coach, Taylor Embree. Carter was first restrained by rookie wide receiver Xavier Gipson and then special teams captain […]

It took less than one half of a football game Sunday for Joe Namath to vent his frustration with Zach Wilson and the New York Jets’ offense against the New England Patriots. Broadway Joe took to social media to blast their inept start against a winless division opponent. “I’m starting to wonder if Zach’s playing […]

Apparently, Robert Saleh wasn’t completely truthful about the New York Jets’ plans at left tackle this week against the New England Patriots. After saying it would be “irresponsible” to move Mekhi Becton to left tackle after the massive lineman practiced all week on the right side, it’s been reported that Becton will shift to the […]

The New York Jets are looking to end a 14-game losing streak against the New England Patriots when they meet on Sunday afternoon in Week 3. And Jets coach Robert Saleh is convinced quarterback Zach Wilson has what it takes to lead them to victory. “He’s shown so much progress through the past year,” Robert […]

Aaron Rodgers’ return to the New York Jets could be sooner than later. The star quarterback who’s healing back home in California after Achilles surgery two weeks ago could rejoin the team in New Jersey as early as next week. “Really excited for him to get back here,” Robert Saleh said on Friday. “Really excited […]

The New York Jets face a critical Week 3 test when they host the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Jets (1-1) are coming off a bad loss to the Dallas Cowboys and, you may have heard, have not beaten the Patriots (0-2) since Dec. 27, 2015. So, will Robert Saleh’s team prove they can […]

The New York Jets have a contingency plan in place if left tackle Duane Brown is unable to play Sunday against the New England Patriots. Though coach Robert Saleh was coy about the plan, he was less so about Mekhi Becton’s role in it. Brown missed his third straight day of practice Friday because of […]

Duane Brown missed his second straight day for practice for the New York Jets on Thursday and now must be considered a question mark for their Week 3 game at home against the New England Patriots. Despite his inability to practice, offensive line coach Keith Carter told reporters he’s sure Brown will be able to […]

The NFL offered the New York Jets an explanation and possibly mea culpa. Likely neither would sit too well with Jets coach Robert Saleh. Brian Costello of the New York Post reported Wednesday that the NFL told the Jets that a key penalty against them in a 30-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys last week […]

Robert Saleh said the New York Jets have “acknowledged” their 14-game losing streak against the New England Patriots. But the coach added the Jets are not consumed by it ahead of their Week 3 clash against the Patriots, either. “We gotta’ focus on the moment. I get what’s happened in the past, but looking in […]

Garrett Wilson is in his second season with the New York Jets but he’s already had enough of losing to the New England Patriots. The Jets host the Patriots in Week 3 on Sunday. They are trying to end a 14-game losing streak against Bill Belichick and the Patriots, which includes two losses last season […]

Robert Saleh is not pushing the panic button following the New York Jets’ 30-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. In fact, the Jets coach had a measured take one day after they dropped to 1-1 on the season with a lopsided road loss in Dallas. “Just like last week wasn’t the Super […]

With Zach Wilson starting at quarterback in the place of injured Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets crashed back to earth with a 30-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The ugly defeat came on the heels of an exhilarating 22-16 overtime win in the season opener against the Buffalo Bills last week. In […]

The New York Jets’ offense couldn’t get anything going during their 30-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. And running back Breece Hall said he’s got a good idea why. “I mean, I only got four touches. That’s why we struggled,” Hall explained, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. “It is what it is, […]

As if losing 30-10 to the Dallas Cowboys wasn’t bad enough, the New York Jets lost stud wide receiver Garrett Wilson for the final two minutes of their Week 2 game on Sunday. However, head coach Robert Saleh provided a positive injury update postgame. “Garrett had the wind knocked out of him,” Saleh explained. Wilson […]

The New York Jets do not have their first-round pick Will McDonald IV in the lineup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2 of the NFL season. The rookie edge rusher is on the inactive list for New York. It appears to be a coach’s decision since McDonald didn’t appear on the Jets’ injury list […]

You’d think Aaron Rodgers would have bigger things to worry about other than helping Zach Wilson ahead of the New York Jets’ Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys. But despite having surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles on Wednesday, Rodgers has remained in touch with Wilson, who will replace the future Hall of Famer […]

Zach Wilson will start at quarterback for the New York Jets in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys after Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending Achilles surgery Wednesday. For obvious reasons, Wilson’s return to the starting role with the Jets is their biggest storyline heading into the Cowboys game. But he’s not the only Jets quarterback moving up […]

The New York Jets received another dose of bad injury news Saturday, 24 hours before their Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Kicker Greg Zuerlein will not be in uniform Sunday because of a groin injury. Reportedly, Austin Seibert will replace Zuerlein this week. The 26-year-old kicked in three games for the Detroit Lions […]

The New York Jets enter a hostile AT&T Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys home opener a distinct underdog Sunday in Week 2 of the NFL season. This despite a rousing 22-16 overtime win against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. Though they would have been underdogs anyway, heading into Dallas without Aaron Rodgers puts the […]

Robert Saleh sounded encouraged about the season-ending Achilles surgery Aaron Rodgers had Wednesday, and the New York Jets coach can’t wait for the future Hall of Famer to be back around the team. “From everything we understand, everything went great. He’s in great spirits,” Saleh explained Friday. “I’m not going to speak for him, but […]

Aaron Rodgers may not be the only key veteran out of the lineup when the New York Jets visit the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2 on Sunday. Kicker Greg Zuerlein sustained a groin injury in practice Thursday and didn’t practice Friday. Coach Robert Saleh said it’s “50-50” if Zuerlein will suit up against the Cowboys. […]

The New York Jets proved their mettle Monday, rallying for a 22-16 overtime win against the Buffalo Bills after losing Aaron Rodgers in the first quarter to a season-ending Achilles injury. On Thursday, two Jets players were singled out by the NFL for their performances in that gutty victory. Safety Jordan Whitehead was named AFC […]

After surprisingly being included on the inactive list Week 1, Carl Lawson should be back in the New York Jets lineup for their Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. “Anticipating him being up this week,” coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday. Lawson was slowed by a bad back during training camp but did not appear […]

There’s no doubt the New York Jets’ chances of playing in their first Super Bowl since 1969 took a massive hit Monday when Aaron Rodgers sustained a season-ending Achilles injury. As for breaking their 12-season playoff drought, well, that too is going to be more difficult. Make no mistake, they remain a good team. The […]

Robert Saleh is confident we haven’t seen the last of Aaron Rodgers in the NFL after the New York Jets quarterback went down with a season-ending Achilles injury Monday. Saleh told reporters Wednesday that he’s not spoken with Rodgers about the 39-year-old’s future. But that didn’t stop the Jets coach from weighing in with an […]
