Rookie QB Rankings - Redraft and Dynasty
Even though the running back position was the deepest in the 2018 NFL draft class, the quarterbacks controlled the headlines. This draft featured several quarterbacks that could potentially change the direction of their new franchise. That also means there are several quarterbacks that could offer excellent value to your fantasy football team. Part one of […]
Teddy Bridgewater Is Healthy
New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) is healthy and was throwing Tuesday for Phase 2 of the team's offseason program. Bridgewater is just trying to prove his health this summer in training camp. He's a long shot to start for Gang Green in 2018, especially after they selected quarterback […]
They Took Who??? Teams That Confused Us by Drafting the Wrong Player
In 2017, it was the Bengals taking John Ross in the top 10. In 2016, it was the Jets deciding that Christian Hackenberg was worthy of a second round pick, and back in 2015 it was... Kevin White? Breshad Perriman? Regardless, it happens every year: teams fall in love with certain players and their fans […]
NFL Draft 2018 - First Round Reaction
Well, I said it was going to be a wild draft and it did not disapoint. 2018 had twists and turns around every corner.

Teams Showing Interest In Bryce Petty
Other teams are contacting the New York Jets about possibly trading for quarterback Bryce Petty, according to sources. The Jets are now much more open to dealing Petty after selecting quarterback Sam Darnold at third overall in the first round Thursday. Petty hasn't resembled anything close to an NFL-caliber passer in his first two seasons. […]
Jets Go With Sam Darnold At Third Overall
The New York Jets selected USC quarterback Sam Darnold with the third overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. The Jets were definitely going to go with a signal caller after trading up to third overall. Darnold was a candidate to go first overall to the Browns, but he'll land in the Big Apple instead. […]
Teddy Bridgewater Not A Lock For Roster Spot
New York Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) won't be a lock for a roster spot with the team expected to draft a quarterback with the third overall pick on Thursday.

Jets Not Afraid To Start Rookie QB
Even though New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown is the projected starter for 2018, head coach Todd Bowles said he would start a rookie under center, if necessary. “It depends on the progress,” Bowles said. “I’m not afraid to play young players at any position. You go in and compete and as you gain confidence […]

Jets May Prefer Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold
From what ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay is hearing, the New York Jets may prefer Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield at No. 3 overall over UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen.

Jets Re-Sign Neal Sterling

Dez Bryant Unlikely To Land With Jets
ESPN New York's Rich Cimini doesn't see free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant landing with the New York Jets.

Jets Waive Jeremy Langford
The New York Jets waived running back Jeremy Langford on Friday. Langford spent his first two years with the Bears in 2015 and 2016, and he managed to rush 210 times for 737 yards and 10 touchdowns in those years, but he spent last season bouncing around practice squads. The 26-year-old is obviously nowhere near […]

The Los Angeles Chargers waived running back Kenneth Farrow and place kicker Nick Rose on Friday. Farrow was on Injured Reserve all of last season. Rose's release means Caleb Sturgis and Roberto Aguayo will compete for the kicking job this summer.
Early 2018 Dynasty Sleepers: QB
Think of the Dallas Cowboys from the 1990s. Does Troy Aikman immediately come to mind? How about the 49ers of the 1980s - let me guess, you thought of Joe Montana fairly early into the recollection? Pittsburgh dominated the 1970s, and while the "Steel Curtain" moniker refers to their stifling defense, they also happened to […]
Jets To Pick Up Leonard Williams' Option
The New York Jets plan on exercising defensive end Leonard Williams' fifth-year player option before the May 3 deadline, according to a source. Williams was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2015 draft and will turn 24 this summer. He's scheduled to make $2.975 million in 2018, and his contract won't be full guaranteed […]
Free Agent Wide Receivers Who May Surprise in 2018
Fantasy football owners know that changing teams usually changes a player’s fantasy value, and many times for the better. NFL general managers have been paying free-agent wide receivers more millions this offseason than the producers of Big Bang Theory pay its stars. It seems all you need is a 100 career receptions on your résumé […]
Jets To Visit With Sam Darnold
The New York Jets are scheduled to visit with USC quarterback Sam Darnold in the coming days, according to a source. Darnold is also set to visit with the Giants this week. Darnold is one of the hottest quarterback prospects in the draft, and there's a good chance the Browns will select him first overall. […]

Charges Against Robby Anderson Dropped
Felony charges against New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson in connection with his January arrest have been dropped. He allegedly threatened to sexually assault the arresting officer's wife, but he still faces misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and faces a felony charge from a separate arrest. Anderson initially faced nine charges, including fleeing and […]
Jets Claim Clive Walford Off Waivers
The New York Jets claimed tight end Clive Walford off waivers from the Oakland Raiders on Monday.

Walford had just nine […]
Jets Sign Thomas Rawls
The New York Jets signed free-agent running back Thomas Rawls to an undisclosed deal Friday.
