With the first of their two fifth round picks in the 2024 NFL draft, the New York Jets selected quarterback Jordan Travis. Since then, many Jets fans have begun to dream on the potential for Travis to be the “QB of the future” in the post Aaron Rodgers era. While that’s a big ask of a 5th round pick, it bears noting that Travis was once considered a potential high draft pick until he suffered a season ending injury late in the season, which might make it more likely for him to succeed long-term than the typica ..read more

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel-USA TODAY NETWORK It felt like it took seconds after he was selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft for people covering the Jets to declare running back Braelon Allen the team’s new short yardage back. That’s par for the course for a running back listed at 245 pounds.

The New York Jets picked up offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker’s fifth-year option. At some point there were concerns that the team wouldn’t do it due to his injury concerns. Instead, he gets his fifth-year option and an opportunity to potentially land a second contract with the Jets, if he’s able to stay healthy.
