The NFL truly has produced it all, from classic plays like The Catch to infamous […]

C.J. Mosley’s expectations for the New York Jets this season couldn’t be more clear. “I’m really expecting playoffs or bust,” Mosley told AL.com. “Obviously, that’s my goal every year, but I think it’s something that’s a realistic goal for our entire team and our coaches.” Mosley is the second defensive player to go on record […]

The New York Jets need a lot of things to go right for them to become relevant again in the NFL. They have one winning season in the past 11 and haven’t reached the playoffs since 2010. They were 4-13 last season and won just two games in 2020. Yet, for the first time in […]

Boomer Esiason is standing by his comments that Mekhi Becton could be cut by the New York Jets because the tackle is so out of shape.

Larry Ogunjobi is a heckuva solid defensive tackle, and he might just be helping out the Pittsburgh Steelers d-line next season.

Former Bengals’ DT Larry […]

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore is entering his second year in the National Football League. That fact has no bearing on the 22-year-old’s confidence, however. In a recent media session, he fired off a bold warning to NFL defenses. “We’re all different,” Moore said, referencing fellow starting wideouts Corey Davis and rookie Garrett […]

The New York Jets have one winning season in the past 11 and have not reached the playoffs since 2010.

Tom Brady’s name was mentioned when New York Jets coach Robert Saleh stated his expectations for quarterback Zach Wilson this season. Not that Saleh envisions his second-year quarterback to make a stratospheric leap to replicate the certified GOAT, though: “He doesn’t need to be Tom Brady this year,” Saleh said Wednesday at minicamp. “If he […]

Sauce Gardner dug deep to acquire No. 1 from New York Jets teammate D.J. Reed. But the rookie said he didn’t drill down nearly as far as had been rumored on social media. Gardner told reporters Tuesday at minicamp that acquiring his favored jersey number cost him $50,000. ‘Sauce’ Gardner will officially wear No. 1 […]

The New York Jets were 4-13 last season under first-year coach Robert Saleh. They were equally deficient on each side of the ball. But some players did manage to rise above the mess and have breakout seasons. Braxton Berrios was named First Team All-Pro as a return specialist. He led the NFL with an average […]

The New York Jets may have “monsters” and an “action figure” on their defensive line, but they don’t have a “freakazoid” like Aaron Donald. That’s one of the reasons coach Robert Saleh said he’s sticking to a strict rotation with the linemen this season: “We ask our D-line to do a lot from an attack […]

The New York Jets were so brutal in 2016 that they nearly snuffed out FitzMagic.

Ryan Fitzpatrick holds an unofficial, unscheduled retirement press […]

For that reason, we take a look at three potential trade targets for the Jets to round out the team. They have restructured the secondary, with safety Jordan Whitehead and […]

Garrett Wilson has already made quite the impression on New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson.

Quinnen Williams would rather be a problem for opposing quarterbacks than his own team, the New York Jets. The defensive lineman said as much Tuesday, deflecting a question from a reporter about his interest in a contract extension. “I just believe the contract will handle itself,” Williams said. “Money will handle itself. I play this […]

Zach Wilson displayed his bulked-up frame and a sense of humor at the New York Jets voluntary organized team activities Tuesday.

When Roger Craig watches New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall play, he’s reminded of a certain former NFL star.

Joe Douglas is smart enough to know that things can go sideways quickly in the National Football League, especially for the New York Jets. So, while he basks in the afterglow of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Jets general manager needs only to look back at his first draft class with the team to see […]

The New York Jets have lofty aspirations entering the 2022 NFL season.

The New York Jets had the best draft of any team in the NFL, improving their young core vastly.

A heavy dose of reality arrived for the New York Jets when the 2022 NFL schedule was announced Thursday.

The New York Jets are relying heavily on a collection of young players to break their massive playoff drought. One of those players is rookie edge rusher Jermaine Johnson.

Robert Saleh described Zach Wilson in a way the coach never had since the New York Jets selected the quarterback with the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. “He looks beefy,” Saleh said with a laugh Saturday, before quickly adding, “in a good way.” Coach Saleh gives an update on @ZachWilson and the […]

Zach Wilson was arguably the worst quarterback in the NFL last season. The 22-year old out of BYU entered the league with lofty expectations but finished with more interceptions than touchdowns and an underwhelming 55.6 completion percentage in his rookie season. To make matters worse, the Jets went just 3-10 in games that Wilson started. […]
