Jets | Garrett Wilson feeling good Sat May 30, 03:40 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson said the recovery from his knee injury was longer than he expected but that he feels great now.
| Footballguys view: Wilson will have a chance to start hot with Geno Smith at quarterback, but if the Jets turn to fourth round rookie Cade Klubnik after the season is lost, then Wilson's value could evaporate. His ADP is lower than it was last year, but has not fallen to the lowly level that his 2025 lost campaign would dictate. |
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen has been participating in offseason workouts after missing most of the 2025 season because of a knee injury.
Link to storyNew York Jets CB D'Angelo Ponds will receive reps at both slot and outside cornerback, according to head coach Aaron Glenn, who added that it appears as though he has a good understanding of both positions.
Link to storyNew York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told the media on Thursday, May 29, that the team is having an open competition for the backup quarterback spot between Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook.
| Footballguys view: The fourth round pick Klubnik has a good chance to beat out Zappe, who has leveled out as a QB3 on the fringe of rosters after getting a cup of coffee with the Patriots earlier in his career, and Cook, who looked overwhelmed when he got on the field as an undrafted free agent last year. |
New York Jets PK Cade York (groin) is not participating in the voluntary workouts this week because of a groin injury.
Link to storyNew York Jets first-round pick TE Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) underwent minor surgery to repair a hernia, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Sadiq is expected back for training camp. The team said they knew about the issue before the draft.
| Footballguys view: "It's something that he dealt with, and we knew about it going into his last year of college, and he dealt with it during rookie minicamp," head coach Aaron Glenn said. The Jets expect Sadiq to be a key contributor this season, so missed practice time is potentially significant. They used first-round picks on Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper, Jr., with the hope of adding more explosiveness to their offense. Sadiq played with the injury through part of last season, missing one game for Oregon. We'll be watching his status when training camp opens. |
Free-agent PK Younghoe Koo (Giants) agreed to terms with the New York Jets Wednesday, May 27, according to sources. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyNew York Jets RB Breece Hall will be an important part of what the Jets do on offense, according to offensive coordinator Frank Reich. 'Listen, it's certainly going to be no secret or surprise to say that we're going to want to run the football, and so we'll continue to emphasize that,' Reich said. 'These guys ran the ball pretty well last year, so we'll build on that.'
| Footballguys view: While Hall has never finished better than 13th in rushing yards in a season, he hasn't been the issue. The limited touches working in an offense, throwing the ball in catch-up mode, were more responsible. But we've seen Hall used in the passing game. He was a true dual threat in 2023 (he was RB2 overall that season) and 2024, when he produced a combined 133 receptions. The Jets should get improved quarterback play. Geno Smith is an upgrade over Justin Fields, and additions to the receiving corps should create space for Hall in the run game. |
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik 'looked good' at rookie minicamp, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, and Klubnik remains in the mix for the backup quarterback job as OTAs begin.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, the Jets haven't signed a veteran because they want to see what Klubnik can do over the next month. That goes for Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe, too, but it's really about Klubnik. And while Klubnik looked good, that was against mostly undrafted free agents and tryout players. The speed will intensify at OTAs, which should give the coaches a better idea of his ability to absorb and execute the system. The Jets have been in contact with a number of free agents, most notably Russell Wilson, in case the need for a veteran arises. |
New York Jets QB Brady Cook, who started games down the stretch in 2025 due to injuries, is battling rookie QB Cade Klubnik and veteran journeyman QB Bailey Zappe for the backup job to starter QB Geno Smith.

New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik (ankle, wrist) struggled with a sprained right ankle and wrist injury in his final season at Clemson, and with his play suffering, his draft stock took a nosedive. But, Klubnik remains confident heading into his rookie season. 'In my mind, I'm a winner,' Klubnik said Saturday at rookie minicamp. 'I don't mean that in a boastful way. I think that's the mentality you have to have as a quarterback, and I think that my resume has kind of showed that as well.'

Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Link to storyNew York Jets CB D'Angelo Ponds has reached an agreement on a four-year, $9.8 million contract that includes $8.9 million guaranteed, according to a source on Friday, May 8.
Link to storyNew York Jets RB Breece Hall agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $45.75 million on Friday, May 8.
| Footballguys view: Hall is now the third-highest paid running back in the NFL with an average annual salary of $15.25 million. There were rumblings last year about Hall getting traded, and even this offseason those resurfaced. Instead of moving Hall, the Jets now get a new deal done. He's an RB2 for Fantasy GMs as the Jets try to make the right improvements around him on offense. |
New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq signed his rookie contract on Thursday, May 7. It is for four years and $22.3 million fully guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq was arguably the best overall tight end in this draft class. The Jets selected Mason Taylor last year out of LSU, so we'll see Sadiq as the move tight end while Taylor continues as a blocking tight end. Sadiq is more of a TE2 for Fantasy GMs, although the potential to be a TE1 as a rookie is there. |
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik signed his rookie contract on Thursday, May 7. The contract is for four years and $5.5 million.
Link to storyNew York Jets S VJ Payne signed his rookie deal on Thursday, May 7. The deal is for four years and $4.4 million.
Link to storyRussell Wilson told the New York Post that he has an offer on the table from the Jets, and he is weighing his options. "I still know I can play ball at a high level," Wilson said.
| Footballguys view: Wilson visited the Jets last week to talk to the team about coming aboard as a backup quarterback behind his former Seahawks teammate Geno Smith, and there was a report later in the week that Wilson has also been talking to networks about a television role. There's no word on the details of the offer that the Jets made to Wilson, who began last season as the Giants' starter but ended it as their third-string quarterback. |

New York Jets QB Geno Smith is a perfect fit for the team's new offensive scheme, according to offensive coordinator Frank Reich.
| Footballguys view: From 2021-2024, Smith started 52 games for Seattle, leading the club to a 28-24 record while completing 68.5 percent of his passes for 12,928 yards with 76 touchdowns and 36 interceptions. As Profootballtalk.com suggested, if Smith is better than that, then the Jets will be in a much better position to have success in 2026. That doesn't mean fantasy investors should be counting on Smith to fuel their fantasy fortunes. But thinking he can keep the players we are invested in, Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall, on schedule is reasonable. |

New York Jets DE Will McDonald had his fifth-year option exercised Wednesday, April 29.
Link to storyFree-agent QB Russell Wilson (Giants) was hosted for a visit by the New York Jets and is reportedly being considered as an option to be Geno Smith's backup, according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt on Tuesday, April 28.
| Footballguys view: As the Jets sorted through potential backup options -- which also included Carson Wentz at one point -- GM Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn discussed potential options with Smith. Per Rosenblatt's source, Smith mentioned that he enjoyed working with Wilson when they were with the Seahawks in 2020-21, when Smith backed up Wilson. We'll watch for more. |
