Updating a previous report, New York Jets OT Cameron Clark (spine) is expected to make a full recovery after suffering what was later diagnosed as a spinal contusion during practice Tuesday, Aug. 3.
Link to story Jets | Elijah Moore rises up depth chart Tue Aug 3, 02:30 PM
New York Jets WR Elijah Moore worked with the first team - ahead of Keelan Cole - on the first play of practice for the first time Tuesday, Aug. 3.
| Footballguys view: The drumbeat continues. All offseason long we've heard nothing but good things about the rookie Moore coming out of Jets camp. He's working with the first team early in training camp and we're excited to see what he can do in the preseason. |
Jets | Elijah Moore continues to impress Mon Aug 2, 09:03 PM
New York Jets WR Elijah Moore has been 'unstoppable' through five days of training camp and 'one of the best players' over that span, according to DJ Bien-Aime II of the New York Daily News.'He's got the ability to play outside, inside, gadget, whatever you want to do. The reason why he's able to do that is because of his mental capacity, the young man is very smart. ... He knows all three positions at the receiver spot. And because of it and his ability to move around, he's gonna have a bright future,' head coach Robert Saleh said.
Link to story Jets | Michael Carter working as No. 1 RB Sun Aug 1, 01:36 PM
New York Jets RB Michael Carter has been working with the first-team offense during the early portion of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Carter has the look of the player who will lead all Jets backs in fantasy value, but it's not clear how much that will help fantasy teams. He should be a PPR friendly back with his pass catching skills and could be one of the biggest values in fantasy drafts if he is a good fit in Mike LaFleur's Shanahan-style running game. |
Jets | Zach Wilson struggles in first practice Sat Jul 31, 02:39 PM
New York Jets QB Zach Wilson completed 1-for-7 passes in the red zone during team drills Friday, July 30, and he clearly struggled in his first NFL practice, according to SNY's Ralph Vacchiano. Wilson completed 3-for-8 with an interception and threw a few others that nearly were picked off in the rest of practice, but Vacchiano noted it should be expected since Wilson is a rusty rookie quarterback who hadn't practiced in 43 days. To the contrary, Wilson completed a 50-yard pass to rookie WR Elijah Moore, which excited the team.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is going to be the starter no matter how he performs in training camp, but you hope to see improvement as camp goes on. The Carolina Panthers defense might be a good one to target in Week 1 DFS lineups and a last round draft pick for streamers. |
Jets | Sam Ficken let go Fri Jul 30, 08:36 PM
New York Jets PK Sam Ficken was released Friday, July 30. The team also signed free-agent PK Matt Ammendola (Panthers). Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to story Jets | Zach Wilson terms Fri Jul 30, 09:46 AM
Updating previous reports, New York Jets QB Zach Wilson received a four-year, $35.1 million fully guaranteed deal. The deal includes a $22.9 million signing bonus and a fifth-year team option. The Jets got the offset language they wanted in the contract, which reduces what they'd have to pay Wilson if they cut him and he signs somewhere else. And Wilson will get his entire signing bonus paid within 15 days instead of having some of it deferred to 2022.
| Footballguys view: This situation seemed absurd, so it's no surprise that it was resolved quickly. We're looking forward to seeing and hearing how Wilson is doing in camp and which of his receivers he is targeting the most frequently and accurately. |

New York Jets second-round pick WR Elijah Moore signed a four-year, $8.94 million deal with a $3.86 million signing bonus.
| Footballguys view: Moore was one of the most talked about rookies in OTAs. He could force his way into a starting job even after the team restructured Jamison Crowder's contract to keep him for the 2021 season. Make Moore part of your back half draft plans. |

New York Jets passing-game coordinator Greg Knapp was hospitalized and is in critical condition after a bicycle accident. According to multiple accounts, Knapp was riding his bicycle when he was struck by a motorist.
| Footballguys view: There will be a time to discuss how this will affect the development of #2 overall pick Zach Wilson, but this is not it. From all accounts and reactions, Knapp is beloved and well-thought of by everyone he has ever worked with. Our prayers go out to Knapp and his family. |

Jets | Mike White facing uphill battle Sat Jul 10, 04:38 PM
New York Jets QB Mike White likely will not make the final roster unless QB Zach Wilson or James Morgan suffer an injury during the preseason, in the opinion of JetsWire's Tyler Calvaruso.
| Footballguys view: White is unlikely to make the final roster unless the Jets want to keep three quarterbacks. Wilson is the starter, and the Jets selected him at no.2 overall in the 2021 NFL draft with the hopes he could be their franchise quarterback. Morgan is a rocket-armed developmental backup with intrigue for dynasty GMs who could thrive with an opportunity (likely with another team). Simply put, White seems to be on the outside looking in and doesn't have the intrigue the other two do. |

Link to story Jets | Keelan Cole sees time with starters Mon Jul 5, 02:38 PM
New York Jets WR Keelan Cole received snaps with the first-team offense during offseason workouts and could compete for a starting job during training camp.
| Footballguys view: There has been a steady drumbeat this offseason about Cole. The Jets wide receiver situation is one to watch in training camp and the preseason. They have Corey Davis and rookie Elijah Moore as potential starters on the outside with Jamison Crowder working the slot. Cole is going to battle with Moore for that outside spot and will get work as a reserve if he's not a starter. They also could use 3-WR sets with Davis and Cole on the outside and Moore in the slot. |
Keelan Cole player page
Jets | Corey Davis made big leap Sun Jul 4, 09:03 PM
New York Jets WR Corey Davis averaged 2.58 receiving yards per route run in 2020, improving on his 2019 mark by more than a yard.
| Footballguys view: Davis flourished with the Titans last year, and that's why the Jets were so excited to sign him in free agency. He is coming off a career high of 984 yards and five touchdowns, along with his second-highest target total (92). With a rookie quarterback Zach Wilson, Davis should be considered a WR4/flex for Fantasy GMs in 2021. |

Jets | Josh Adams likely to have role in offense Fri Jul 2, 06:08 PM
New York Jets RB Josh Adams is expected to be a candidate for the starting running back job during training camp and likely will have a solid role in the offense even if he does not win the starting job.
| Footballguys view: Adams has some Gus Edwards to his game. He's not going to get the opportunity like Edwards will/does with the Ravens, but Adams has more talent than some think. He's a powerful back who can win at the point of contact and could be a power option for the Jets backfield. They don't have a set starter or lead back, but guys like veterans Tevin Coleman/Ty Johnson and rookie Michael Carter should get most of the work. Adams could get on the field near pay dirt because of his size and intent. |

Link to story Jets | QB Wilson 'So Comfortable' in LaFleur Offense Wed Jun 30, 03:43 PM
Connor Hughes, from The Athletic, reports rookie first-round QB Zach Wilson looks "so comfortable" in the Mike LaFleur offense during OTAs and minicamp.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Wilson is a smart player and the LaFleur offense is from the Shanahan/Kubiak tree, which can be quite complicated in terms of language. The actual offense should feature plenty of play-action passing and high/low reads Wilson has to make as he's rolling out...something he looked great doing during his college career at BYU. The rookie will go through some struggles to be sure, but the future looks bright (finally) for the Jets at the quarterback position. |
Jets | Tyler Kroft pushing to start? Mon Jun 28, 09:29 PM
New York Jets TE Tyler Kroft was 'one of the bigger surprises of the spring' and could beat out Chris Herndon for the starting job if Herndon 'does not shake out of the funk he was in last year,' according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.
| Footballguys view: Herdon has talent but he's never played up to his potential. The Jets don't have time to wait and the best player will win the starting job. Kroft was the no.12 fantasy tight end when he was with the Bengals back in 2017, mainly powered by his nose for the end zone. With a rookie quarterback needing to lean on the tight end spot, and in this Mike LaFluer (Shanahan/Kubiak) offense that's going to happen, there might be some value here. Watch to see if Kroft wins the starting job in training camp then keep him on your waiver wire speed dial. |

Link to story Jets | Brian Poole not an option at this time Fri Jun 25, 04:57 PM
Free-agent CB Brian Poole (Jets) does not appear to be an option for the New York Jets at this point because head coach Robert Saleh wants to use the younger cornerbacks on the roster.

Jets | Denzel Mims needs to expand game Fri Jun 25, 02:26 PM
New York Jets WR Denzel Mims has the speed and skills to excel as a deep threat, but the Jets' new offense calls for more precise routes in the short and intermediate game and work inside the numbers. 'He plays big on the outside. He's got the length and the radius,' new offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said of Mims. 'We're gonna get him playing better inside the numbers.'
| Footballguys view: It's very possible that the new regime would not have signed off on taking Mims last year if they were in place. He might not be a starter or even a primary receiver in three wide receiver sets. Keelan Cole is ahead of him and Elijah Moore has been stealing the spring headlines, so Mims is basically off of our redraft radar for now. |
Jets | Blessuan Austin missed some practice time Thu Jun 24, 07:03 PM
New York Jets CB Blessuan Austin (undisclosed) missed some time during minicamp because of an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: The Jets cornerback spot is the weak link in Robert Saleh's defense and Austin is expected to play a large role. If this is still an issue when camp opens we may have set expectations for this group even lower. |
Jets | Michael Carter has chance to start? Wed Jun 23, 07:58 PM
New York Jets RB Michael Carter could push for the starting running back job if he performs well during training camp and the preseason, in the opinion of JetsWire's Tyler Calvaruso.
| Footballguys view: The Jets don't have a set starter so there's a chance for Carter to get the top job. He's super quick and lightning fast, and Carter eats up yards quickly before defenders can even notice. Carter can be dangerous in space but is not a pile pusher who can run inside with success. He also needs to learn how to protect the passer as his blocking ability is a big question mark. The rookie will compete with guys like Ty Johnson and Tevin Coleman for the starting job. |

Jets | Keelan Cole making quick impression Sun Jun 20, 08:12 PM
New York Jets WR Keelan Cole 'will be in the wide receiver rotation' following an impressive minicamp, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Recent reports out of Jets camp indicate Cole, and not Denzel Mims, could emerge as an outside target opposite of Corey Davis. Mims could get on the field to stretch the field with his speed and ball-tracking ability but speculation is that he's not a good fit for the Mike LaFleur offense. Add in Jamison Crowder and standout rookie WR Elijah Moore, and you can see how Mims might be on the outside looking in when it comes to the Jets new-look wide receivers room. This will shake out in training camp...so stay tuned. |

Jets | Denzel Mims buried on depth chart? Sun Jun 20, 08:04 PM
New York Jets WR Denzel Mims 'isn't even among the best five receivers' on this year's roster, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Mims has talent and he flashed as a rookie last year, but reports indicate he's not a fit for the Mike LaFleur offense. We'll see if he can impress in training camp but right now it looks as though he'll have a part-time role as a field-stretching option for the Jets. |
Jets | Ty Johnson stands out Sun Jun 20, 07:52 PM
New York Jets RB Ty Johnson 'made a strong impression' during minicamp, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The Jets don't have an established starter at the running back position. They've got some options for the top spot, but we'll have to see the battle in training camp. Johnson will compete with veteran Tevin Coleman and rookie Michael Carter to establish a pecking order at the position. It sounds like Johnson is doing his best to make the case he should be the top back. |

Jets | Lamarcus Joyner works at FS Sun Jun 20, 12:54 PM
New York Jets S Lamarcus Joyner was used primarily at free safety during the minicamp last week.

Jets | Zach Wilson mastering offense Sat Jun 19, 12:28 PM
New York Jets QB Zach Wilson has done a 'really good job' of directing the team's offense in offseason drills -- with periods of calling his own plays -- even though he's had the team's playbook for less than two months, according to offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. 'It's been a learning curve for him,' LaFleur said. 'We've thrown a lot at him.'
| Footballguys view: Wilson has a ton of talent and the confidence to make plays no matter the situation. He's up against it with the Jets as he's being tossed in with huge expectations in front of fans who are starved for wins and a media that won't take it easy on him. However, the LaFleur system (from the Shanahan tree) is great for his skill set. The rookie has some good players to toss the rock to but should go through struggles this year as he learns the ropes in the NFL. |
Jets | Chris Herndon limited by hamstring Thu Jun 17, 02:18 PM
New York Jets TE Chris Herndon (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday, June 16, by hamstring 'tightness,' but head coach Robert Saleh added that he expects Herndon to be 'perfectly fine' going forward.
| Footballguys view: Herndon has physical gifts but he's been banged up off and on during his pro career. This hamstring injury seems minor, and Herndon should be good to go for the start of training camp. The upside and potential is always there with Herndon but he hasn't played up to that in the NFL. |

Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Mullens received some interest from the New York Jets before he signed with the Eagles, but Jets head coach Robert Saleh said the team will move forward with their current quarterbacks for the time being.
| Footballguys view: The Jets interest makes sense. Most of the staff comes over from the 49ers, including OC Mike LaFleur, and Mullens is familiar with the system. Instead, the Jets move forward with Zach Wilson was their starter with James Morgan and Mike White competing for the backup job. |

New York Jets WR Denzel Mims was one of the team's few receivers not to get any snaps with the first team on the first day of minicamp Tuesday, June 15, according to SNY's Ralph Vacchiano.
| Footballguys view: Mims is not shining in OTAs and mandatory minicamp as much as rookie Elijah Moore. We like Mims game, but he's got to be more consistent and stand out in practice if he wants to earn a larger role. Corey Davis and Moore could line up on the outside with Jamison Crowder in the slot...and Mims on the bench. |
