Instead, coach Robert Saleh announced Friday that All-Pro defensive […]

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson took the high road after legend Joe Namath’s harsh criticism.

"He's passionate, he's obviously one of […]

Zach Wilson and the New York Jets are looking to get their season back on track after consecutive losses to make their record 1-2.

The New York Jets’ 2023 season wasn’t supposed to unfold the way it has, with blockbuster offseason addition, star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, tearing his Achilles shortly into his debut for his new team.

Zach Wilson continues to be loathed by frustrated New York Jets fans, whose high hopes for the team were extinguished as soon as Aaron Rodgers went down with a season-ending injury right in the very first week of the 2023 NFL regular season.

Trevor Siemian didn’t sign with the New York Jets because he saw an opportunity to replace Zach Wilson as the starting quarterback.

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 […]

For the past three weeks, a new presence on a national stage has ruined what should have been a must-watch start to the NFL season.

Retired New York Giants running back Tiki Barber typically has a calm demeanor on his sports radio show.

The New York Jets’ losing streak against the New England Patriots persisted until their NFL Week 3 battle this year.
