Scouting Jets offensive tackle Blake Freeland
The Jets have added former Colts offensive tackle Blake Freeland to their active roster after he was poached from the Bengals’ practice squad. A 6‑7, 302‑lb BYU standout and 2023 fourth‑round pick, Freeland started nine games as a rookie before losing his role in 2024 and missing 2025 with a leg injury. He boasts a record‑breaking 37‑inch vertical, a sub‑5‑second 40‑yard dash, and only two sacks allowed in college, but NFL film shows struggles against elite pass rushers and a need to improve his anchor. The Jets hope his length and athleticism can bolster the right side after Max Mitchell’s concussion.
New York Jets News: Familiar Face Returns in Bills Clash
Former Jets safety Jim Leonhard, now Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator, returns to face his old team in the Week 10 showdown. Leonhard, who played for New York from 2009‑2011 during the back‑to‑back AFC Championship runs, discussed his Jets ties in a pre‑game media session, noting past match‑ups against Geno Smith and his connection to Browns coach Aaron Glenn and running back Braelon Allen. The preview highlights the intrigue of a former Jet leading a Bills defense against his former franchise, with both sides eyeing a pivotal AFC East battle.
New York Jets News: Insider Says There is Geno Smith Extension Interest?
Despite a 2-7 start to the 2026 season, the New York Jets see quarterback Geno Smith as a top candidate for a 2027 extension. The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt reports the team plans to seriously consider re‑signing the unrestricted free agent, noting Smith’s elite metrics – 18th in EPA per dropback, 6th in deep‑pass EPA, 11th in yards per attempt and 5th in adjusted completion percentage – and his locker‑room leadership. The Jets even declined trade offers at the deadline, underscoring their interest.
Scouting Jets defensive lineman Isaiahh Loudermilk
The New York Jets have added former Steelers defensive lineman Isaiahh Loudermilk to their practice squad and break down his career. The 29‑year‑old, a 6’7”, 293‑lb former Wisconsin standout, was a fifth‑round pick in 2021 and has started seven NFL games, recording 63 tackles, six passes defensed and one sack. Loudermilk’s college production included 24 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles in 2019, earning third‑team All‑Big‑10 honors. In the NFL his impact has been limited—mostly a rotational interior lineman with modest pass‑rush numbers and below‑average run‑defense grades. The Jets note his high motor and hustle, but point out his modest athleticism (5.08‑second 40‑yard dash) and need to add bulk for interior play.
New York Jets News: Anticlimactic NFL Trade Deadline Day for NYJ
The Jets' 2026 trade‑deadline turned into a buzzkill, completing only one move: swapping safety Andre Cisco for a sixth‑round pick—originally a 2028 selection, later changed to 2029. Coach Aaron Glenn, who predicted a quiet day, sticks to his plan, leaving big defensive questions about players like Will McDonald and Breece Hall for a future leadership group. Meanwhile, the Jets face a daunting Week 10 matchup against the 7‑1 Buffalo Bills, with Glenn still 0‑8 against AFC East foes. Fans wonder if a win is possible or another disaster looms.
Jets stay quiet at the NFL trade deadline
At 2‑7 and facing a likely coaching shake‑up, the New York Jets keep a low profile at the 2026 NFL trade deadline, making only a modest deal—sending backup safety Andre Cisco to Detroit for a future sixth‑round pick. Despite multiple offers and a Day‑2 pick rumor, the team retains defensive end Will McDonald IV, who has requested a trade but remains under the Jets’ development plan.
Jets own three of the top 13 picks in the 2027 NFL Draft after Week 9
The New York Jets are poised to own three of the top 13 selections in the 2027 NFL Draft after a disastrous Week 9, as the team’s poor record (2‑7) lands them high picks from both the Colts and Cowboys. With the Jets holding the 2‑7 and 3‑5 slots and an additional early pick from the Cowboys, fans are already eyeing a potentially game‑changing draft despite the season’s struggles.
New York Jets News: Decision Time on NFL Trade Deadline Day
The New York Jets face a crucial trade‑deadline decision on November 10 as they sit 2‑7 under GM Darren Mougey. With veteran safety Andre Cisco already dealt for a future pick, the focus shifts to whether to move talent like Will McDonald or Breece Hall before a likely coaching change. Head coach Aaron Glenn suggests standing pat, but his tenure is uncertain. Fans are watching for potential moves involving the Indianapolis Colts that could sweeten a 2027 first‑round pick, while speculation swirls around Geno Smith and other roster tweaks.
Will McDonald asks the Jets for a trade
The New York Jets face a trade dilemma as former first‑round defensive end Will McDonald IV has formally requested a move ahead of the NFL deadline on Tuesday. McDonald, who logged only 24 snaps in a recent game against Kansas City, is frustrated with limited playing time and seeks a larger role. The Jets, who already sent safety Andre Cisco to Detroit and made headline deals a year ago, claim they plan to keep him, according to Aaron Glenn, but his $13‑$14 million fifth‑year option raises questions about his value. The deadline will reveal whether New York retains McDonald or entertains offers.
Jets trade defensive back for 2028 draft pick
The New York Jets have dealt backup safety Andre Cisco to the Detroit Lions for a 2028 sixth‑round draft pick. Acquired as a free agent in 2025, Cisco never became a playmaker, posting modest stats—64 tackles, one sack, two passes defended in 17 games—and ending his 2025 season on injury reserve. After a brief 2026 comeback on a $2.2 million one‑year deal, he fell behind Dane Belton and was relegated to special teams. The move clears depth for fourth‑round rookie Malachi Moore and seventh‑round pick V.J. Payne.
The loss to the Chiefs shows the Jets are falling apart
The Jets’ 28-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 8 exposed a team in disarray. After a 2-6 start—including a win over the Dolphins and a defeat to the Raiders—the Jets entered Week 9 hoping to bounce back, but jammed by Patrick Mahomes and a conservative game plan, they fell apart. Key moments highlighted the frustration: Minkah Fitzpatrick’s missed opportunities, Armand Membou’s helmet‑throwing outburst, and Geno Smith’s visible anger. The article argues that poor offseason moves, especially on defense, left the roster bottom‑tier, while only flashes of promise emerge from rookie David Bailey and receiver Adonai Mitchell. Coach Frank Reich’s ball‑control strategy proved ineffective against a high‑powered Chiefs offense, underscoring the Jets’ spiraling season.
New York Jets News: David Bailey Provides Historic Silver Lining in Loss to Chiefs
The New York Jets fall 35-12 to the Kansas City Chiefs, yet rookie defender David Bailey shines with a historic effort: two sacks, three tackles for loss, three QB hits and nine tackles. Bailey now ranks third league‑wide in sacks (7.5), second in tackles for loss (11) and leads in forced fumbles (5), offering a bright building block for a struggling Jets season. The article highlights his impact amid typical penalties and missed opportunities that plagued the loss.
Jets vs Chiefs: Jets fold in second half, Chiefs cruise to easy win
The New York Jets fall 35‑12 to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on November 8, 2026. After a strong start that gave the Jets a 6‑0 lead with two field goals, the Chiefs answered with a Mahomes‑to‑Kenneth Walker touchdown to take control. Walker scores twice, and Mahomes also connects with Travis Kelce, pushing Kansas City to a 28‑12 lead by the end of the third quarter. Despite dominating time of possession, out‑gaining and out‑sacking the Chiefs, the Jets’ missed opportunities and turnovers seal their loss.
New York Jets discussion: Week 9 live chat during the Chiefs game
The New York Jets head to Arrowhead Stadium for Week 9, facing a 5-2 Kansas City Chiefs squad led by Patrick Mahomes and Kenneth Walker.

Fans can join a live chat on the Gang Green Nation app to debate the Jets' chances, watch Breece Hall’s return, and discuss how coach Aaron Glenn and DC Frank Reich will use him after Braelon Allen’s recent stand-in.

Jets vs Chiefs: Garrett Wilson headlines Jets’ inactives
Garrett Wilson is sidelined for the Jets' matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, entering concussion protocol and missing his first game of the 2026 season. The Jets’ inactive list also includes Tim Patrick, Blake Freeland, Trevin Wallace, Joseph Ossai, Nahshon Wright, and Kohl Levao. Despite Wilson’s loss, New York still has promising contributors like rookies Omar Cooper and Kenyon Sadiq, veteran Adonai Mitchell, the returning Breece Hall, and breakout back Braelon Allen. The article also critiques Ossai’s costly three‑year, $36 million deal and questions the future of former Pro Bowler Nahshon Wright, suggesting a possible trade.
Jets vs Chiefs Pre-Blame Ball
In a tongue‑in‑cheek “pre‑blame ball” preview, Gang Green Nation predicts the New York Jets will struggle against the Kansas City Chiefs on November 8, 2026. With interior lineman T’Vondre Sweat on IR and a hurt Harrison Phillips, the Jets’ run defense looks vulnerable to the Chiefs’ elite rushing attack—led by Kenneth Walker, who averages 5.5 yards per carry and ranks second in the league in rushing yards per game. The article warns that loading the box could open the door for Patrick Mahomes, making the interior defensive line the likely scapegoat before kickoff.

Expect clear, sunny skies, light winds (0‑5 mph), and temperatures rising from the low‑60s to mid‑60s. Humidity stays in the high‑50s, and rain is unlikely, making for ideal playing conditions—though the bright sun could challenge visibility on passes and kicks.
Jets elevate two from practice squad ahead of Chiefs game
The New York Jets promote linebacker Troy Reeder and offensive tackle Brant Banks from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Kansas City Chiefs. Reeder, a 32‑year‑old former Rams and Lions player, has logged 87 special‑teams snaps and four tackles in five games for the Jets this season. Banks, a 26‑year‑old former Packers undrafted free agent, has yet to see a regular‑season snap in 2026 after two practice‑squad elevations. Both moves bolster depth as the Jets prepare for the Chiefs showdown on November 8, 2026.
Jets vs Chiefs: Five Questions with Arrowhead Pride
Ahead of their Week 9 clash in Kansas City, the Jets face a Chiefs team wrestling with a stalled pass rush. Arrowhead Pride’s Maurice Elston points to the Chiefs’ inability to pressure quarterback Patrick Mahomes—just nine sacks in seven games—and opponents’ aggressive fourth‑down play as key defensive woes. Offensively, the resurgence hinges on Kenneth Walker’s 770 yards, which revitalized the run game, play‑action passing, and a deeper vertical threat. The 2026 draft class adds standout cornerback Mansoor Delane and promising edge rusher R. Mason Thomas, though injuries and development remain concerns. Will Kansas City correct its pressure problem before the Jets arrive?
Three things I’m looking at in the Jets vs. Chiefs Game
The Jets head to Arrowhead to face the Chiefs, entering as 9.5‑point underdogs in what is the week’s biggest spread. While Kansas City’s elite coaching, stout defense and Hall‑of‑Fame quarterback make an upset unlikely, New York’s backfield could be the X‑factor. Braelon Allen has surged in the past month, averaging over 100 rushing yards and scoring the game‑winner versus the Browns, while Breece Hall remains a polarizing figure. Blogger Matt argues both "Killer Bs" can thrive together if Frank Reich balances Allen’s volume with Hall’s versatility, aiming for 100+ yards from the lead back and 50+ from the second. The piece also warns that the Jets’ defense, still a concern, must step up against the Chiefs’ rejuvenated high‑powered offense.
Previewing the Jets’ opposition: Kansas City Chiefs
The Jets face a daunting Chiefs squad Sunday, despite Kansas City slipping to 5-2 after two straight losses. The Chiefs have dominated the Jets in four of their last five meetings, including a controversial 23‑20 win in 2023. Patrick Mahomes (99.7 passer rating, 12 TDs, 4 INTs) leads a potent offense, backed by rookie Garrett Nussmeier and former Jet Justin Fields. The line features Pro Bowlers Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith, while left tackle Josh Simmons sits on IR and rookie Kahlil Benson steps in. Kenneth Walker, the Super Bowl MVP, still sits near the league rushing lead with 770 yards, though his per‑carry average has dipped. Tight end Travis Kelce tops the receiving charts with 410 yards, and the defense struggles with a down year from Chris Jones. All signs point to Kansas City as heavy favorites.
New York Jets News: Jets lose Garrett Wilson for Week 9 game against Kansas City Chiefs
The Jets face the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on November 8, but star wide receiver Garrett Wilson is ruled out with a concussion, leaving the offense shorthanded.

The post links to analysis on slowing down the Chiefs, rookie opportunities, trade rumors, and defensive line upgrades, highlighting the challenges and potential strategies for a Week 9 upset.
Jets will be without Garrett Wilson Week 9 against the Chiefs
The New York Jets lose star receiver Garrett Wilson to concussion protocol ahead of their Week 9 clash with the Kansas City Chiefs. Coach Aaron Glenn confirms Wilson will be out Sunday, leaving the Jets without their top passing option on a tough road trip. Luckily, the 2026 squad boasts other threats: Omar Cooper has logged two 100‑yard games in the past three weeks and may see increased targets, while rookie Kenyon Sadiq could re‑emerge after a standout Week 3 performance. Wilson's absence adds to the Jets' recent losing streak challenges.
