Jets fields looking good - Groundskeeper Blake Hoerr and his staff did a nice job getting the fields ready for camp.
The Jets have signed Samuel "OL" Jackson. No, not Samuel L. Jackson but free agent offensive lineman Samuel Jackson, who played T and G and had a strong 2nd half for the UFL's Houston Roughnecks this past season. Just in time for this morning's first practice of TC.
Round 1 draft choices from 25 years ago: Shaun Ellis (left), John Abraham, Chad Pennington, Anthony Becht (& Laveranues Coles in Rd 3). We reminisced with all 5 for our story/photo package on the Silver Anniversary of the Jets' "Four Aces" draft in 2000: newyorkjets.com/news/jets-25th…

Jets' official draft order has been released by NFL: Rd 1 (7th overall) Rd 2 (42nd) Rd 3 (73rd) Rd 4 (110th) Rd 5A (145th) Rd 5B (162nd) (from Rams thru PIT) (WR Mike Williams trade) Rd 6A (186th) Rd 6B (207th) (from KC) (WR Mecole Hardman trade) No compensatory picks for G&W.
Mike Battle and Joe Namath enjoying a play from the Jets sidelines. Namath was among first to congratulate Battle after the rookie's electrifying 86-yd PR TD in the very first Jets-Giants PS game in '69. Battle died recently at 78. See our tribute on newyorkjets.com.

Jets get it done, even though it's in the season finale. 32-20 win over Dolphins, Jets rise to 5-12, 'Fins fall to 8-9 and missed the POs. It's not much but it's what they'll take into this offseason of unsettled times. Aaron Rodgers: 23/36, 274 yds, 4 TDs, 1 INT, 112.5 rating.
Aaron Rodgers finds Breece Hall with a timely toss, and BH hops over the GL. It's Rodgers' 4th TDP of the gm, Breece's 8th TD this season (5 rush, 3 rec). And Jets fashion a "30-pt game," one of AR's goals each wk, with the score 32-20 and the gameclock at the the 2:00 warning.
On way to @MetLifeStadium to wrap up my 53rd season in football. How could my parents have known when they took me to Navco Park to sign up for the B’s as a 6yr old that it would be the start of this football odyssey. #grateful #LongDaysShortYears #FaithFamilyFootball
It took a while but Garrett Wilson catches his 3rd pass from Aaron Rodgers deep in the RZ. Wilson now has 100 catches plus his 1,000 yards, only 2nd Jet to have 100 catches in a season, joining, again, Brandon Marshall.Congrats G.
Aaron Rodgers, Jets move downfield deep into RZ. On 4th&goal from the 2, HC Jeff Ulbrich turns to Greg Joseph for his first FG try as a Jet from 20 yds. It's good. Jets lead 18-6 w/6:35 left in 3rd qtr.
Quincy Williams forces the FUM, Solomon Thomas recovers. Jets have 4 TAs v MIA, their most since getting 4 vs PHI last year. Plus-3 is their best TO margin since '23 opening day vs BUF.
All numbers are in Jets' directions--they lead in 1st dns (12-6), yds (193-143), TAs (3-1). Nine-pt edge at 15-6 is Jets' biggest over MIA at halftime at home since taking 10-pt lead in 2017 win. And that lead is most at half in all gms vs MIA since '17, so largest in 14 games.
And it was made possible on Will McDonald's 5th stripsack. 4 strips he forced, 1 he recovered. And with the sack, he ups his 2024 total to 11 for the season.
Aaron Rodgers already starts working on his next 500 TDPs, fires 13-yarder to wide-open Allen Lazard. Jets going for 2 ... and they get it on Breece Hall's burrowing act in middle of the line. Jets lead Dolphins 15-6 w/0:59 left 2nd qtr.
Jets back in business w/ 2nd TA today, Snoop Huntley sacked and stripped by Will McDonald, Quincy Williams recovered, Jets are in MIA territory with 1:14 to play 1st half....
Takeaway king Ashtyn Davis picks off Tyler Huntley's long ball intended for Jaylen Waddle. Jets back on offense at their 10 with 7-6 lead.
And 2 plays later Aaron Rodgers throws his 500th RS TDP but not to Garrett Wilson but to TE Tyler Conklin on a step-up throw over the middle to Conk. Greg Joseph gets his first point as the Jets K on an XP, Jets lead Dolphins 7-6 with 7:57 left in 1st half.
