In the NFL he started 21 games, going 5‑16 with 12‑13 interceptions and modest passing numbers, and missed the 2025 season after shoulder surgery. The analysis highlights his raw talent, inconsistent accuracy, and struggles under pressure, offering a realistic view of what he could bring to the Jets.
During their bye week, the 6-2 Steelers sit atop the AFC North and eye a Super Bowl run.

TotalProSports' Week 9 NFL Power Rankings break down the fallout from an injury‑laden Week 8, where no team remains undefeated. The Los Angeles Chargers slip to 32nd after a 24‑9 loss to the Rams, while the Titans (31st) fall in overtime to the Bengals 43‑36. The Dolphins (30th) drop after a 24‑19 collapse against New England, and the Colts (29th) tumble 42‑7 to Jacksonville. Meanwhile the Jets (28th) and Eagles (27th) each lose close games, and the Cardinals (25th) clinch an overtime win over Dallas. The rankings highlight key performances, injuries, and the shifting playoff picture heading into Week 9.
Aaron Glenn is all but done as head coach of the New York Jets, and even Rich Cimini, who thought he had a pathway to retain his job, thinks the door is closed.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz tells The Pivot podcast that the San Francisco 49ers remain active at the trade deadline, still hunting a wide receiver and a pass rusher despite recently acquiring DeForest Buckner. He cites potential targets like Brian Thomas Jr., Jauan Jennings, Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy, Kayshon Boutte, and Hollywood Brown, with Dallas' George Pickens drawing particular buzz. On the edge, Schultz mentions Khalil Mack as a coveted pass rusher, noting interest from the Chargers and the Jets' Will McDonald IV, while Arizona’s Josh Sweat could be a pricey option.
A new report says the New York Giants may abandon a Jonathan Taylor trade because they lack sufficient draft capital, prompting head coach John Harbaugh to explore other options. While Taylor remains the most talked‑about target, the Giants are also eyeing Titans backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, Jets running back Breece Hall, and interior defensive tackles Jeffery Simmons and Dalvin Tomlinson to boost their roster for an NFC East push.
Rookie safety Treydan Stukes and cornerback Zeke Masses have become the bright spot on a struggling Las Vegas Raiders defense, combining for 10 passes defensed in the first eight games—a franchise record for a rookie class since 2000. Masses logged seven breakups and Stukes three, each recording a pass defense against the New York Jets on Sunday. Their production ranks the Raiders among only eight NFL teams since 2010 with a rookie draft class posting four interceptions and ten pass breakups.
Despite the New York Jets’ 2-6 record, the blog argues the team’s offense is a bright spot and could be one of the best in the franchise’s recent 15‑year history. Ranked 12th in EPA/play and 10th in success rate through eight weeks, the young unit—average age 23.8 and largely under contract—features promising prospects like Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper, Braelon Allen and linemen Joe Tippmann and Olu Fashanu. The author notes persistent red‑zone woes and questions whether coaching or luck is to blame, but contends the overall record is misleading, with net EPA comparable to teams such as the Raiders, Texans and Giants. The piece suggests the Jets could become a playoff contender if the offense continues to develop.
The New York Jets used to pray for times like this. New York fans have endured many a season in which their team seemed to be on the verge of either playoff or title contention, only to be held back by some of the worst quarterback play in the NFL. Plenty of examples quickly come ...

With nine games remaining—including a road clash with the Kansas City Chiefs and a home game versus the Buffalo Bills—Cimini predicts the Jets could fall to 2‑8 if those matchups turn into defeats, making the coaching future bleak.

The New York Jets may need to follow the team-building blueprint the Las Vegas Raiders used to beat them in their Week 8 game.
Chiefs rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane remains sidelined by a nagging shoulder injury, though doctors deem it non‑serious. Coach Andy Reid says his return is a day‑to‑day decision, with a possible comeback in Week 9 if the shoulder regains enough strength. Delane, who logged 27 tackles, an interception and five passes defended in five games, missed the Week 8 loss to Denver after the injury occurred in practice and he missed two subsequent sessions. With veteran L’Jarius Sneed also on IR, Kansas City hopes the upcoming Jets matchup will reveal Delane’s status.
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins continued his postgame In-N-Out tradition in style after leading the team to a much-needed 38-33 win over the New York Jets in Week 8.

Kansas City’s season takes a hit after a 28-24 loss to Denver, highlighted by a disputed false‑start on right tackle Jaylon Moore that erased Patrick Mahomes’ apparent game‑winning TD to Rashee Rice. Former Chiefs head coach Dick Verneil lambasted the call, calling it “over‑officiated,” while Andy Reid and Mahomes voiced similar frustration. The penalty, awarded with only four seconds left, forced a second‑and‑goal attempt from the 6‑yard line where Mahomes was sacked, sealing the defeat. The Broncos capitalized despite 11 penalties (105 yards) against the Chiefs, who now look to rebound against the Jets in Week 9.
Mike Francesa erupts on the New York Jets after their 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, dropping the team to 2-6. On his podcast, Francesa slams coach Aaron Glenn for praising “excellent things” despite a back‑to‑back defeat, calling the coach’s comments “remedial reading” and mocking his focus on timeouts and deferments. Other media figures, including Mike Greenberg and Mike Tomlin, have also criticized Glenn’s game management. Francesa’s tirade highlights growing fan frustration as the Jets slump under Glenn’s tenure, a trend that hasn’t seen a winning record since 2015.
