New York Jets cornerback D'Angelo Ponds needs his playing time to be increased, and it's a wonder why Aaron Glenn has yet to put him on the field more.
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the New York Jets (2‑6) are being labeled “sellers” by The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt. He argues the Jets won’t move star Garrett Wilson but may flip veterans who don’t fit a rebuilding timeline for cap space and draft capital. The piece urges the front office to retain young talent while trading expendable players to aid the next head coach’s roster overhaul.
New York Jets offensive tackle Max Mitchell has been placed on injured reserve, and the team has signed Blake Freeland to the active roster.
The Game Haus releases its 2027 NFL Mock Draft as of Nov. 4, 2026, projecting the current order. The Chargers lead with Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State WR, touted as the class’s top talent. The Titans eye Colin Simmons (EDGE, Texas) to boost their pass rush, while Miami reaches for QB Drew Mestemaker (Oklahoma State). The Jets, via two picks, target CB Leonard Moore (Notre Dame) and QB Darian Mensah (Miami). Other notable first‑round picks include OT Jordan Seaton (LSU) for the Eagles, DL William Echoles (Ole Miss) for Houston, and QB Arch Manning (Texas) for Cleveland. The list balances immediate needs with potential trade scenarios across all 32 teams.
Another blown lead, another 2-6 start. The answer has been sitting in an ESPN studio the whole time, and he might not be available much longer.
The Daily Hoosier breaks down week eight performances of former Indiana players in the NFL. Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza stays unused, while teammate TE Ian Thomas logs 29 offensive snaps and a TD. Giants LB Micah McFadden sits out his bye week after 14 tackles. Steelers TE Riley Nowakowski sees limited action, and 49ers DB CJ West remains on IR. Vikings WR Myles Price adds 72 kick‑return yards, and Jets WR Omar Cooper records 50 offensive snaps with two touchdowns. Chiefs OL Kahlil Benson starts at left tackle, and several alumni (e.g., Nick Westbrook‑Ikhine, Ke’Shawn Williams) are on practice squads. The roundup highlights who played, who was inactive, and each player's season totals.
The Phinsider teases the Dolphins' Week 9 clash with the 5‑2 Detroit Lions, inviting fans to predict defensive leaders (tackles, interceptions, touchdowns) and offensive standouts (receiving yards, touchdowns, rushing totals). After recent wins over the Jets and a near‑upset of the Patriots, Miami faces a tougher home battle at Ford Field. Readers are encouraged to share their projected stat lines and MVP picks for both sides of the ball in the comments.
The Chicago Bears eye a defensive boost after a veteran becomes available: safety C.J. Gardner‑Johnson, who posted three forced turnovers and three sacks in ten games after joining Chicago in October, is now a free agent following his release by Buffalo. With the Bears already tracking Khalil Mack and Jets corner Nahshon Wright, Gardner‑Johnson’s competitive edge could add depth to a secondary that still needs help, especially after a recent trade for Jeffery Simmons. The move comes as the Los Angeles Chargers decide whether to trade Mack amid an 0‑7 start.
The Las Vegas Raiders snap a four‑game losing streak with a 38‑point win over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium, securing their fourth victory of the season. Quarterback Kirk Cousins throws for three touchdowns, adds a rushing TD, and cements his starter status, now ranking third in passing yards (2,124) and second in TD passes (19) through Week 8. Rookie tight end Brock Bowers catches two scores, and newcomer wide receiver Jalen Nailor contributes as well. The Raiders also debut third‑round guard Trey Zuhn and shift running backs, giving Mike Washington the lead role while Ashton Jeanty remains a versatile option. The win pushes the Raiders past last year’s total wins.
The latest AFC notes reveal Bills lineman Spencer Brown admitting he used heavy medication to play through back pain, with NFL approval, after a tough loss in Los Angeles. Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley stresses that the team must learn from blowing a lead against the Patriots and keep improving. Meanwhile, Jets coach Aaron Glenn says he isn’t worried about his job, but emphasizes the need to fix the passing game and avoid third‑down penalties as the squad looks to win nine more games. The updates come from NBC Sports, ESPN and NFLTradeRumors.co, published November 3, 2026.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins leads the Raiders to a 38‑33 comeback win over the Jets, throwing three touchdowns and rushing for another while completing 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards. The victory ends a four‑game skid, lifts the team to a 4‑4 record, and fuels Cousins’ growing post‑game tradition of celebrating at In‑N‑Out, a habit he started with his son after the Week 2 win over the Chargers. Rookie Brock Bowers catches two TDs, Jalen Nailor secures the go‑ahead score, and Dylan Laube returns a 95‑yard kickoff for a TD. Cousins now sits at 19 TD passes in eight games, one shy of league leader Joe Burrow.
NFL insiders quickly dismiss reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers will trade for New York Jets wideout Garrett Wilson. While Jason La Canfora floated Wilson as a game‑changing addition to a 6‑2 Steelers offense, ESPN’s Adam Schefter says the deal “won’t happen,” citing a strained past between Wilson and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers, battling WR depth issues and injuries to DK Metcalf, are also linked to Jaguars’ Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts’ Josh Downs, but Wilson’s reunion with Rodgers looks unlikely.
The New York Jets are getting the solid quarterback play they have long waited for. Geno Smith is on pace to break multiple franchise single-season records. Yet, it still hasn’t changed the fortunes of the down-on-their-luck Jets, who are sitting at 2-6 through eight weeks. It’s an astonishing sight, given how many times over their ...

The Las Vegas Raiders regained some favor in the post-Week 8 NFL power rankings after defeating the New York Jets on the road.
ESPN insider Adam Schefter says the Pittsburgh Steelers will not trade for Jets receiver Garrett Wilson before the Nov. 10 deadline. Schefter told his podcast that “no way they trade him,” dismissing rumors sparked by Jason La Canfora that linked Wilson to Aaron Rodgers. Wilson, a 2025 four‑year, $130 million extension player, has no trade request, and his relationship with Rodgers soured. While the Steelers sit 6‑2 and eye other receivers, Wilson remains firmly with New York, ending speculation for Steelers fans.
Seven former Iowa State Cyclones saw action in Week 8, logging 249 combined snaps across offense, defense and special teams. Notables include Breece Hall (Jets) sidelined by a quad injury, Charlie Kolar (Chargers) with one 20‑yard catch in a 24‑9 loss, and Will McDonald IV (Jets) posting 36 defensive and 11 special‑teams snaps in a 38‑33 defeat to the Raiders. Houston’s trio—Xavier Hutchinson, David Montgomery and Jaylin Noel—were mostly unavailable due to a bye week or injuries, while Kene Nwangwu (Jets) and Domonique Orange (Vikings) contributed on special teams and defense respectively. The week also featured former Cyclone TJ Tampa (Ravens) returning with three tackles and a fumble recovery.
The Las Vegas Raiders snapped a four‑game skid with a 38‑33 comeback win over the New York Jets in Week 9, boosting them to #17 in the latest NFL Power Rankings. Rookie Mike Washington Jr. emerged as the lead back, rushing 25 times for 83 yards, while Ashton Jeanty shifted to a third‑down, pass‑catching role after a controversial comment about the Jets. Jeanty still leads all running backs with 37 receptions for 376 yards and three TDs, but his carries dropped to two for nine yards. Analysts note Washington’s higher rush‑over‑expected metric (+0.4) and Jeanty’s elite EPA per target as key factors shaping the Raiders’ offense going forward.
The New York Jets have stressed publicly and privately that they are not shopping Breece Hall, and they likely won't until Jonathan Taylor gets traded.
The Las Vegas Raiders' snap counts in Week 8 against the New York Jets revealed 3 seismic shifts in playing time.
The New York Jets add former Tennessee Titans second‑round pick Will Levis to their practice squad, and this piece breaks down his career and skill set. At 27, Levis stands 6’4”, 229 lb, boasts a 34‑inch vertical and 124‑inch broad jump, and is praised for elite arm strength and running ability. In college he posted a 66% completion rate at Kentucky but led the SEC with 13 interceptions. 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. Despite rumors about a possible trade for Jets wideout Garrett Wilson, veteran reporter Adam Schefter dismisses the speculation, saying a deal is "not happening." The article outlines the team's recent four‑game win streak and why the Steelers are likely to stay the course rather than pursue Wilson.
Eight games into the 2026 season, the much-anticipated New York Jets offensive line has been more of a roller-coaster ride than the brick wall that some believed it had the potential to be. At times, it has looked stellar, and at others, it has looked like the entrance to a subway station. Amidst this first-half-ish ...
