Jets To Acquire Demaryius Thomas

The New York Jets are acquiring wide receiver Demaryius Thomas from the Patriots in exchange for a 2021 sixth-round pick on Tuesday, according to sources.

Jets Cut Kaare Vedvik, Sign Sam Ficken

The New York Jets are cutting kicker Kaare Vedvik and are expected to sign free-agent kicker Sam Ficken, according to a source. Vedvik failed in his audition in Week 1 against the Bills, missing his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in the one-point loss to Buffalo. In just four games the last […]

Jets Defense Forces Four Turnovers, Scores Touchdown

The New York Jets Defense forced four turnovers, four sacks, and scored a touchdown in the team's 17-16 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Ty Montgomery A Non-Factor In Jets Debut

Robby Anderson Quiet In Week 1 Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson had three catches for 23 yards in a Week 1 loss to the Bills. Cornerback Tre'Davious White and the rest of the Bills secondary that ranked first in the NFL last season did a great job keeping Anderson out of the game as the Jets offense stalled all […]

Sam Darnold Quiet Against Bills

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold completed 28 of 41 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Bills Sunday. The Jets new-look offense was stuck in neutral most of the day failing to put up points despite getting great field position several times from four turnovers forced by the defense. […]

Kaare Vedvik Has Day To Forget In Jets Debut

New York Jets kicker Kaare Vedvik missed an extra point and a 45-yard field goal in his first game with the Jets after being signed last week. Vedvik was picked up by the Jets after being cut by Minnesota in the preseason and appears to be on the verge of getting cut again after leaving […]

Jamison Crowder Shines In Jets Debut

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder made a big statement in his first game with the team, catching 14 passes for 99 yards Sunday against the Bills.

Le'Veon Bell Handles 23 Touches, Scores Touchdown

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell rushed for 60 yards on 17 carries and caught six passes for 32 yards and a touchdown in his Jets debut Sunday. Bell also added a two-point conversion catch to cap off a good day for fantasy owners. Bell told head coach Adam Gase to not hold back […]

C.J. Mosley Doubtful To Return For Jets Defense

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) is doubtful to return late in the Week 1 game against the Bills after suffering a groin injury.
