Good morning, Gang Green Nation.

As we cruise into this summer weekend, the Jets have now signed their full Draft class on time for training camp. Second round pick Mason Taylor became the final selection to agree to terms on his rookie deal. The delay wasn’t Jets specific. Second round picks around the league were pushing for more guarantees. Now that Taylor’s deal is done, Darren Mougey has accomplished something two of the last three Jets GMs failed to do, avoid a rookie hold out in his first year on the job.

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The logjam of unsigned second round NFL draft picks may be on the verge of breaking up. After the first two picks in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft signed unprecedented fully guaranteed deals, the rest of the NFL teams have been trying to hold the line against fully guaranteed second round contracts. As a result, no second-round pick after the first two had signed, until yesterday. The San Francisco 49ers signed 43rd overall pick Alfred Collins to a four-year, $10.3 million contract, with $9 million guaranteed. The New York Jets selected tight end Mason Taylor one pick before Collins at #42 overall. The Collins deal should help set the parameters for players selected in the general vicinity of #43. It seems likely the Jets and Mason Taylor will now move swiftly to finalize a deal. That would be ideal timing, as Jets rookies are scheduled to report to training camp tomorrow. Having all their draft picks signed and in camp on time would be a good way for the Jets to kick off the 2025 season.

Garrett Wilson’s contract extension with the Jets is overwhelmingly popular

Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images

The Jets extended their best wide receiver last week.

The Jets recently gave a contract extension to wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Last week in our SB Nation Reacts poll we asked for the thoughts of the Jets fanbase.

Based on the result, it is clear that the fanbase likes the move a lot.

An ongoing issue for the Jets over the last 25 years has been retaining top talent. Time after time, contract negotiations with the team’s best players have been overly dramatic. It has led to the departure of high end talent. But even when the team and player finally agree on a deal, there has frequently been too much drama in the leadup.

This extension along with Sauce Gardner’s was a rare example of the Jets being proactive to get a deal done with a good player. Wilson wasn’t set to be a free agent for another two seasons, but now he will be with the team through his prime.

Check out our partner, Fanduel.

Scouting Jets UDFA linebacker Jared Bartlett

Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images

Taking a look at a Jets linebacker prospect

The New York Jets recently signed former Cincinnati linebacker Jared Bartlett as an undrafted free agent. Today we break Bartlett down in detail.

The 24-year old Bartlett is listed at 6’2” and 237 pounds and was an honorable mention all-Big 12 selection last year after having transferred from West Virginia. He had 204 tackles and 21.5 sacks in his six-year college career.

Background

Bartlett was a three-star high school recruit who redshirted his first season at West Virginia after having played 152 snaps and recorded nine tackles and six pressures in four games.

In 2020, he moved into a rotational role, although he did start two of 10 games as he registered 24 tackles and 3.5 sacks. 2021 saw him in a similar role and he looked to have broken out when he racked up three sacks against Virginia Tech in an early season game. However, he ended the season with just 3.5 sacks. In all, he started three of 13 games and had 31 tackles.

2022 once again saw Bartlett mostly in a rotational role as he made two starts and ended up with 26 tackles and 2.5 sacks. However, his playing time increased in 2023 and he started every game at the bandit position to end up with 49 tackles and 4.5 sacks.

At the end of the 2024 season, Bartlett entered the transfer portal and ended up with Cincinnati, who moved him to an off-ball role and put him in the starting line-up. He was an all-Big 12 honorable mention after racking up 69 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks and three pass breakups, all of which were career marks.

After Bartlett went undrafted, the Jets signed him to an undrafted free agent deal with $72,500 of guaranteed money.

Let’s move on to some more in-depth analysis of what Bartlett brings to the table as a player, based on extensive research and film study.

Measurables/Athleticism

Having played closer to the line of scrimmage earlier on in his career, Bartlett has good strength and length for an off-ball role.

Bartlett put together a solid set of workout numbers at his pro day as he ran a 4.65 in the 40-yard dash and posted 19 bench press reps. His explosiveness and agility numbers were about average.

Usage

Bartlett played the bandit role at West Virginia, which is a unique position that sees him positioned at the line of scrimmage as an edge rusher, but also dropping off into coverage or picking up a man in the slot from time to time. In the NFL, this would be closest to a 3-4 outside linebacker role in a system like Pittsburgh’s but wouldn’t fit cleanly into the defensive schemes for most teams, including the Jets.

He responded well to the move with the Bearcats, which saw him playing off the ball as an inside linebacker. It makes sense that this will be his NFL position too.

Run defense

Bartlett had a productive year as a run defender in 2024, as he responded well to the position switch and posted easily the best run defense grade of his career according to Pro Football Focus. He was fourth in the Big 12 with 11.5 tackles for loss.

He shows the ability to go sideline-to-sideline and to be relentless as he chases down plays in pursuit.

Bartlett is also capable of attacking the line of scrimmage and avoiding blockers to get to the ball carrier.

When playing on the edge, he was less effective and often blocked out of plays, but he was still able to use his quickness and play recognition to make an impact at times.

Coverage skills

Despite playing up at the line, Bartlett typically dropped into coverage several times per game at West Virginia, which prepared him well for moving into an off-ball role.

He didn’t intercept any passes and averaged less than one pass defensed per season but did a good job of limiting yardage underneath as he gave up just 10 yards per reception.

For his career as a whole, Bartlett allowed an 84 percent completion rate when targeted but didn’t give up many big plays and was only beaten for one touchdown.

Tackling

Bartlett’s missed tackle percentage was higher than you’d ideally like to see, although it dropped from 2022 to 2023 and again from 2023 to 2024. He did have a career-high 15 missed tackles last year, though.

Although he only had two forced fumbles in his career, Bartlett closes impressively, has good range and can stop a runner in his tracks.

Blitzing

Despite moving into an off-ball role last year and rushing the passer a lot less than in the past, Bartlett posted a career-high in sacks, perhaps benefiting from the pass rushing skills he developed while playing on the edge at West Virginia.

A lot of his sack production actually came from spying the quarterback and then chasing him down behind the line of scrimmage when he opted to scramble, though.

Bartlett was often in a clean-up role at West Virginia, but did develop the pass rush skills to win a one-on-one matchup and posted solid pressure percentages in that role.

He also batted two passes down at the line last season.

Special teams

Bartlett has plenty of special teams experience with 585 special teams snaps played over the course of his career. He ended up with 11 special teams tackles.

Bartlett, who also rushed kicks and blocked in punt protection and on the kick return units, also had six missed tackles - five of which were in 2023 - and three penalties.

Physicality

Bartlett’s experience of mixing it up with offensive linemen in the trenches serves him well as an off-ball linebacker. He’s not shy about taking on blockers aggressively.

However, he would probably be too lightweight to play up at the line at the NFL level. He got trucked at the goal line on this play.

Instincts/Intelligence

Bartlett’s play recognition is an area that really stands out. He is said to have developed a keen understanding of quarterback tendencies and does a lot of preparation work. The fact he has played multiple positions helps here too.

In the game where he had three sacks in 2021, which saw him earning the Big 12 defensive player of the week award, his coaches credited him with having gone to the sideline to advise them of a specific detail about the opposing team’s blocking scheme. They factored this information into a strategic change that freed Bartlett up to have that big game.

He blows up a screen pass superbly on this play, expertly reading the play and avoiding a blocker in space.

There were admittedly a few coverage busts which Bartlett was involved in, but none of these were clearly his fault.

Attitude

Bartlett is a player who has worked hard at his fundamentals and technique, while developing into a vocal leader at both Cincinnati and West Virginia. He is regarded as a true professional with toughness and resilience.

His on-field discipline was good with just four defensive penalties in his career. Since 2020, his only penalties were for roughing the passer and offside.

He comes from NFL pedigree as his half-brother is Steelers starter Stephon Tuitt. However, he’s had to deal with some adversity in his personal life as his other brother was killed in a car crash in 2021 and his father died suddenly before the 2024 season.

He won the Iron Mountaineer Award at West Virginia in 2022.

Injuries

Bartlett played in 61 games in his college career, so injuries clearly didn’t affect him too badly. He missed one game due to an undisclosed injury in 2021 and had minor injuries that knocked him out of games in 2023 and 2024 but didn’t cause him to miss any starts. One was a shoulder/arm injury.

Scheme Fit

It would make sense for Bartlett to start alongside Boog Smith on the third unit as their skill-sets should complement each other well with Smith taking the Mike role and Bartlett adding some physicality and smarts alongside him.

The experience in terms of playing on the edge might be useful in certain situations but isn’t likely to be something that dramatically affects his basic role.

Conclusions

Bartlett isn’t the first player to make the transition from edge defender to an off-ball role. Mike Vrabel is a good example of someone who was able to start games in both roles and when he played off the ball, he exploited the attacking mentality and physicality he was used to from playing on the line.

In recent times, players like Bryce Huff and Frankie Luvu have come through the Jets system with a similar tweener reputation due to lacking ideal size to play a full time role on the edge. Each had success although their careers have taken different paths.

While Bartlett is one of the more unheralded members of the Jets’ 2025 undrafted rookie haul, his play recognition does stand out on film, so he will be looking to showcase that to make an impression. He’s definitely a long-shot for anything more than a practice squad slot, though.

Scouting Jets kicker Harrison Mevis

Photo by Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images

Taking a look at a Jets kicker prospect

The New York Jets recently signed former Missouri and UFL placekicker Harrison Mevis. Let’s therefore look at Mevis in more detail.

The 23-year old Mevis is listed at 5’11” and 243 pounds and was undrafted out of Missouri last April. After failing to make the Carolina Panthers roster last season, Mevis had an outstanding season in the UFL this spring to earn a contract offer from the Jets.

Background

Mevis, who was also a soccer goalie in high school, was rated as a two-star high school prospect and headed to Missouri in 2020 where he made an instant impact in his freshman year. He made 17 of 20 field goals and all 28 of his extra points.

In 2021, Mevis was an all-American and all-SEC first team selection as he led the nation with 23 made field goals on 25 attempts and made all 41 of his extra point attempts.

2022 was his worst season in terms of success percentage, as he missed six of his 61 kicks, all of them field goals. However, he was slightly better in 2023 as he was named as an all-SEC second teamer after making 24 of 30 field goals and 45 of 46 extra points.

Having not been picked up as an undrafted free agent after the 2024 draft, Mevis attended the Panthers rookie camp on a tryout basis and earned a contract. However, he was released in preseason after only attempting one kick - a successful 41-yarder.

Having opted to kick in the UFL, Mevis had an outstanding season with the Birmingham Stallions in 2025 as he made 20 of 21 field goals during the regular season, with his only miss being on a long kick. In the postseason, he made one of his two attempts, both of which were from 56 yards.

Mevis signed with the Jets during the offseason program after the Jets brought him in for a tryout and were impressed enough that they decided to release Greg Zuerlein and sign Mevis.

Now let’s break Mevis down in a variety of categories, based on in-depth research and film study.

Measurables/Athleticism

Mevis is notorious as “The Thiccer Kicker”, a nickname he picked up while at Missouri and opted to embrace. Despite his bigger size, Mevis doesn’t consider himself to be fat or overweight.

Leg Strength

Mevis has impressive leg strength on field goals, and his success rate from beyond 50 yards has been excellent with 13 of 18 made in college and six of eight in the UFL.

His most impressive long-distance kick in college was this 61-yard game winner as time expired.

However, there were a lot of other kicks from beyond 50 that were arguably just as impressive because they were good by some distance.

His big leg doesn’t show up quite as much on kickoffs, where he had only had one attempt in his first three seasons. In 2023, he only had a touchback on 48 of 79 kickoff attempts and gave up over 400 return yards.

Having said that, scouting reports indicate that he allowed multiple long returns on short kickoffs but this doesn’t appear to be true. The longest kickoff return he allowed in college was a 36-yarder fielded at the four-yard line.

Accuracy

For his career as a whole, Mevis has good accuracy numbers, especially if you take into account the UFL season. However, he made just 83.9 percent of his kicks from beyond 40 yards in his last two years in college as he missed two field goals in the same game on three occasions. Ideally, NFL teams would be expecting this number to be at least 90 percent.

He tends to hit the ball with a low trajectory and it often knuckles through the air, potentially making it susceptible to strong winds. He also had one kick blocked in 2023.

He missed just one extra point in his entire career.

Directional kicking on kickoffs has also been a challenge. On this kickoff in the UFL, he tried to bounce the ball inside the landing zone and failed, leading to a penalty.

Clutch

Mevis has been tested in the clutch multiple times during his career. In a 2022 rivalry game against Auburn, he missed a chip shot as time expired to send the game to overtime, where Missouri were defeated.

However, he was also successful on three game-winners at Missouri, including the 61-yarder mentioned earlier. He also made this clutch long-distance kick as time expired to send another game to overtime.

He did not really get to attempt any clutch kicks in the UFL.

Tackling

With Mevis’ bigger size and the fact that a decent percentage of his kickoffs have been returned, it’s worth wondering whether he could be a liability on coverage units due to a lack of mobility, although at least he’s less likely to get run over in the open field.

He didn’t have any tackles during his college career but, of course, he was only kicking off in his senior season.

Encouragingly, he did have a special teams tackle during the UFL season and then added another in the playoffs. The first of these saw the return man essentially running right into him as he broke down in space.

However, on the other one he at least had to hustle across to the sideline to prevent a longer return.

Intangibles/Miscellaneous

Mevis hasn’t been involved in any fakes during his career and doesn’t have any experience as a punter.

His older brother, Andrew, was also a kicker but failed to make it onto the Packers’ roster a few years ago.

Mevis was a teammate of current Jets Brady Cook and Armand Membou while he was at Missouri.

Conclusions

Mevis’ record as a field goal kicker is good, and his body of work within the role is better than the Jets’ other option to win the placekicker role, the undrafted rookie Caden Davis. However, Mevis’ record on kickoffs and the potential for him to be a liability in coverage could be a concern. Neither of the Jets’ punter options have much experience kicking off but, ironically, Davis is especially strong in this area.

In an ideal world, the optimum outcome might be for the Jets to carry Mevis for placekicking and Davis as a kickoff specialist but in the modern NFL with a 53-man roster limit and active roster spots at a premium on gameday this seems unlikely.

You would expect whoever wins the job to come down to who fares better on field goals in camp and preseason but Mevis can boost his chances of securing the role by being more consistent overall, especially on kickoffs.

Why Jermaine Johnson starting training camp on the PUP list isn’t a big deal

Steve Roberts-Imagn Images

Relax

You might have seen that the Jets placed defensive end Jermaine Johnson on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list to start training camp.

We've placed EDGE Jermaine Johnson & WR Irvin Charles on the Active/PUP list.

Additionally, we've placed LB Aaron Smith on the Active/NFI list.

— New York Jets (@nyjets) July 19, 2025​

You might be wondering what this means.

Some players aren’t ready to practice at the start of training camp because they are rehabbing from injuries suffered the previous year. Johnson is among them.

Is this cause for concern? No, it is not.

During training camp, a player can come off the PUP list as soon as he is healthy to practice. Last month, head coach Aaron Glenn indicated that Johnson could begin training camp on the PUP list but that the team is expecting him to be ready for Week 1. The opening game of the regular season is September 7. That is plenty of time for Johnson to get up to speed.

The PUP list is an oddity of NFL training camp. Players who aren’t ready to participate in the first practice go on it. However, if a player was to get injured during that first practice and miss the second practice, there is no list to join.

Now if a player remains on the PUP list at the start of the regular season, that is a different story. Anybody on the list at that point must miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season. That is because during the regular season, players on the PUP list don’t take up one of the 53 spots on the active roster.

That doesn’t sound like it will happen with Johnson.

I will be on PUP because the team wants to move slow to be safe, which I agree with. Not because I’m not ready. All is well.

Report: Justin Fields’ injury isn’t serious

John Jones-Imagn Images

The Jets hope Fields will be ready for Week 1.

Justin Fields suffered a dislocated toe during the team’s second training camp practice of 2025. Rich Cimini reports that Fields’ injury is not viewed as serious and there is optimism he will be healthy for the regular season opener.

Some relief for #Jets fans: Justin Fields’ toe injury is not significant and he shouldn’t be sidelined that long, per source. They’re hopeful that he will be ready for Week 1 against the Steelers.

— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) July 24, 2025​

I couldn’t blame any Jets fan who immediately feared the worst this morning when news first broke that Fields had been carted off the field with a lower body injury. It would seem like typical Jets luck to lose your quarterback to a devastating injury for the second time in three years.

It’s certainly not good news that Fields is injured and will likely miss a chunk of training camp. He’s on a new team trying to get comfortable in a new system with new teammates. He also relies on his mobility as much as any quarterback in the league so there are going to be some concerns about the potential for this injury to linger.

Still, you have to breathe a big sigh of relief. I think almost anybody would have signed up for optimism regarding Fields’ ability to play Week 1 at the point he was being carted off the field.

Justin Fields Injury Update: Quarterback suits up but doesn’t practice on Friday.

John Jones-Imagn Images

Fields probably won’t be out out for long.

On Thursday, Justin Fields limped off the practice field at Jets training camp and was carted away. At the time, there was legitimate concern across the fanbase that he could miss extensive time.

On Friday, Fields returned to that practice field.

One day after dislocating his toe, Jets QB Justin Fields is back at practice. pic.twitter.com/w6yisrL1Lu

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 25, 2025​

While he was in uniform, Fields did not take part in the practice. Head coach Aaron Glenn still characterizes his status as day-to-day.

UPDATE: Justin Fields lives! One day after the injury scare, he was back on the field, in uniform ... but no participation. Not yet. More on his injury. #Jets https://t.co/KVpMrrwUzr

— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) July 25, 2025​

Aaron Glenn reiterates that Fields is day to day. Calls yesterday’s injury scare “a huge storm that made no sense,” though he admits there was some initial concern. #Jets

— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) July 25, 2025​

There is a long time between now and Week 1. The Jets won’t want to rush Fields back before he is ready to return.

Still this training camp is probably more important for him than it is for your typical player. He is trying to get comfortable with a new system, coaching staff, and teammates. The sooner he can return to the practice field, the better. This is particularly true since Fields is unlikely to see much action in preseason games. His reps will mostly come in practice.

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets got a scare at practice yesterday as Justin Fields was carted off the field. With initial reports suggesting it was a dreaded non-contact injury, fears mounted Fields might be done for the year. However, subsequent medical evaluations indicated Fields suffered a dislocated toe. Initial estimates are he might miss one to two weeks, and he is currently listed as day-to-day. That comes as a huge relief.

The one to two weeks missed time estimate has Fields returning sometime prior to the Jets’ first preseason game. However, with Fields’ running being a big part of his game, it would not be a surprise if the Jets were to hold him out much or all of the preseason out of an abundance of caution and a desire for him to start the regular season fully healthy. Missing time now, with Fields trying to get acclimated to new teammates, new coaches and new offensive schemes, may not be ideal, but it’s better than missing time or being hobbled when the games count. For now it appears the Jets dodged a bullet.

Jets fans are overwhelmingly behind Sauce Gardner’s contract extension

John Jones-Imagn Images

The star corner recently signed a long-term deal to stay in New York four more years.

The New York Jets were a busy team in the days leading up to training camp, extending the contracts of two of their best players. First came Garrett Wilson’s extension. Then came Sauce Gardner’s.

Last week we ask Jets fans how they felt about Wilson’s new contract. The answer was that they liked it a lot.

This week we moved on to Sauce Gardner’s new contract. Do Jets fans approve? To answer in a word, yes.

Gardner has been one of the league’s best corners since he first set foot on an NFL field two years ago. He was named First Team All Pro in his first two seasons. Year three saw him take a bit of a step back. Still, a bad year for Gardner is a good year for most cornerbacks in the NFL.

Jets fans will get to see Gardner wear green and white through his prime, and they are happy about it.

Quinnen Williams has a lot (good) to say about Jets teammates

The DT is a big fan of some of his fellow Jets.

Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams had a bunch to say about his teammates this week, and it was all good.

— Up & Adams (@UpAndAdamsShow) July 30, 2025​

Now let’s be clear. We are in the middle of training camp. Across the league, every team will sound like a Super Bowl contender if you ask them.

One of the ways I find useful to separate the tangible from the fluff in training camp is to listen for specificity. It’s easy to say something totally generic like, “This guy is great. He works so hard.”

In this case, you are hearing things these guys specifically do well. Time will tell how effectively Membou plays right tackle, but hearing an All Pro impressed by his strength is worth noting. The same can be said for the discussion of Sherwood’s leadership skills. Everybody saw Sherwood thrive a year ago as he stepped into the starting lineup. Still, CJ Mosley was valued above all else for the way he helped run the defense. It’s one thing to hear somebody talk about Sherwood’s tackling or sideline to sideline range. The fact that Quinnen pointed to his ownership of the defense seems notable to me.

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Rumors are out there suggesting the New York Jets are interested in signing guard Alijah Vera-Tucker to an extension. Both Vera-Tucker and fellow starting guard John Simpson are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents after this season. I wouldn’t mind seeing the Jets re-signing them both and keeping the offensive line intact for a while. However, the devil is always in the details, and the Jets may not be willing to offer both guards lucrative extensions. With plenty of other guys entering free agency next season, including Quincy Williams, Andre Cisco, Breece Hall and Josh Myers, among others, it will be interesting to see where the Jets’ priorities lie as they make their decisions building this team going forward.

New York Jets 2025 Tight End Preview: Help Us Mason Taylor; You’re Our Only Hope

Thomas Salus-Imagn Images

It’s all on the rookie.

Over the last several decades, tight end has not been a position of abundance for the Jets. It certainly doesn’t look to be a spot where the Jets have great depth in 2025, but there is a promising rookie in the mix.

The Rookie Hope​

Mason Taylor

The Jets selected Taylor in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. In an ideal world, a second round tight end could start off as the number two or even number three player at the position. That would provide the player a chance to get his feet wet in the NFL playing limited snaps and focusing on a handful of concepts. From there, he could grow to take on the number one tight end role in a year or two.

Because of the lack of quality at the position, Taylor will receive no such luxury. He will be tossed into the starting lineup immediately.

Is it possible he will be an impact player from day one? Sure, some players grow quickly as soon as they are given big responsibilities in the NFL. For Taylor’s part, the competition for targets in the passing game will not be fierce. Early reports out of training camp also have Jets coaches impressed with his early progress.

But while some tight ends are ready to contribute immediately, most are not. Jets fans can certainly hope for the best with Taylor. They should, however, brace themselves for the possibility of a slow start. As we discussed earlier in the week, even a 400 yard rookie season should leave Jets fans feeling very optimistic about his future trajectory.

For a guy of his size Taylor’s movement skills, particularly his ability to change direction is very smooth. The physical tools are there for him to become a quality starter at the tight end position. The question is how quickly he can master the nuances of blocking technique and route running.

A dream scenario would be for him to pick these things up quickly.

A more realistic scenario might be that all of the extra game reps he will get as a Week 1 starter will help him develop quicker than your typical tight end, and by the end of the first season he starts to look like a guy who belongs in the NFL.

The Previous Regime’s Projects​

Jeremy Ruckert

Zach Kuntz

Life is good when the head coach and general manager believe you have potential. You can keep a spot on the roster and/or practice squad no matter your level of play.

Life becomes more difficult when they get fired, and you have a new head coach/general manager duo. The new regime will have its own project players. Suddenly remaining on the team requires you to produce.

Such is the situation in which Jeremy Ruckert and Zach Kuntz find themselves.

Ruckert was a late third round pick in the Jets’ stellar 2022 Draft class. Unfortunately he has not come close to attaining the heights of his fellow selections from that year. After three seasons in the NFL, Ruckert has caught only 35 passes for 264 yards and still does not have a touchdown.

Frequently I find that tight ends who offer little in the receiving game receive the “good blocker” label whether it is justified or not. Ruckert has received it. It does not seem justified by his performance to date. While he is certainly capable of throwing good blocks, on a play to play basis he has been a very inconsistent blocker.

Looking back, it was probably a warning sign that Ruckert had such a tough time overtaking CJ Uzomah for the number two tight end job in his first two years.

Meanwhile, Kuntz has spent almost the entirety of his two season career on the Jets practice squad. He was picked by the team in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft mainly because he posted historically great athletic testing numbers. Of course, the Jets need to be in the business of adding great football players. To date, Kuntz has looked like a great athlete with minimal NFL tight end skills.

The best case scenario for both players is that a new coaching staff does a better job developing their respective skills.

That is plausible, but probably far less likely than the biggest fans of these players would like to admit.

The New Project​

Stone Smartt

In most cases if you told me the Jets signed a soon to be 27 year old tight end with 45 catches, 380 yards, a 1 touchdown across three NFL seasons, I would tell you the odds are zero this player will be productive.

In the case of Stone Smartt...well the odds are still close to zero. Still, he has a more interesting profile than the first glance at his biography would suggest. He is relatively new to the tight end position, having played quarterback and then wide receiver in college. A second position change brought him to the spot he plays now.

With a decent athletic profile, is it possible he could develop as he gets more familiar with the tight end position? You can’t love the odds, but crazier things have happened. It says something that he was able to stick on an NFL roster for three years and produce more than Ruckert, a prospect with actual tight end experience before entering the NFL.

The Longest Longshot​

Neal Johnson

Johnson’s Jets career began in December 2024 when the Jets signed him to the practice squad. He was released six days later. The team eventually decided to sign him for training camp. Johnson is on the smaller side at the position and didn’t produce a ton at small school Louisiana. One might think he’ll try to show enough upside in training camp and the preseason to try and earn a longer stint on the practice squad in 2025.

Quinnen Williams and John Simpson to miss 1-2 weeks in training camp with injuries

John Jones-Imagn Images

The Jets will be without a pair of starters.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced that a pair of starters will miss time in training camp due to injuries.

Quinnen Williams (calf) will miss a week or two, per Aaron Glenn. G John Simpson (back) will miss a week or two. #Jets

— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) August 1, 2025​

The Jets don’t open the regular season until September 7, which is obviously a long way off. Had these injuries occurred a month from now, it might be worth getting a tad nervous. Both Williams and Simpson have plenty of time to recover, though. The Jets will clearly be cautious.

The injuries will keep both players out of the preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers next week, but it isn’t clear Aaron Glenn is planning on playing his starters anyway. Even if he does, the first team will likely not be on the field for very long.

Of the two injuries, Simpson is the one that seems a bit more concerning since back injuries can linger. But given the 1-2 week timeframe, there isn’t much reason to think it’s a particularly serious ailment at this point.

Terry McLaurin asks Commanders for trade but don’t expect WR needy Jets to be interested

Bill Streicher-Imagn Images

A big name could hit the market, but he won’t likely be coming to the Jets.

The big news in the NFL today is that Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has asked for a trade.

BREAKING: #Commanders All-Pro WR Terry McLaurin has requested a trade, multiple sources tell me. pic.twitter.com/DQ33B2I6oi

— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) July 31, 2025​

McLaurin has been seeking a new contract to no avail. He began training camp by holding out. While he nominally ended his hold out a few days back by reporting to training camp, he has yet to practice.

The Jets have a glaring need at wide receiver. There is little behind Garrett Wilson at the position. That would make them a logical landing spot for McLaurin, right?

The answer is, “probably not.”

Since Aaron Glenn took over as head coach, the Jets have steered away from splashy moves. They have worked out new contracts with homegrown players Garrett Wilson, Sauce Gardner, and Jamien Sherwood and stated a preference for developing their own talent.

Under different circumstance, perhaps the Jets could give McLaurin a look. After all a team can prefer homegrown talent but still make exceptions as opportunities present themselves.

In this case, however, there would be a real cost-benefit deficit.

McLaurin’s reported contract request is exorbitant.

Adam Schefter says that he thinks #Commanders WR Terry McLaurin wants “considerably more” than DK Metcalf ($33M APY)

WOW.

(via:@PatMcAfeeShow) pic.twitter.com/FZhLjBfcKc

— brandon (@JayDanielsMVP) July 28, 2025​

McLaurin is a very good receiver. He has posted between 900 and 1,200 receiving yards in each of his six NFL seasons. However, he turns 30 on September 15. We can presume that if the Commanders trade him (which is far for a foregone conclusion), they will want at least one high Draft pick in return.

So a team that trades for McLaurin will have the pleasure of sending off a top pick for the honor of paying McLaurin top dollar for his decline years.

I actually think McLaurin’s style of play suggests he will age well and decline gracefully, but a graceful decline is still decline. There is a price a declining McLaurin will be worth. It is almost certainly not what it would cost a team like the Jets.
