The New York Jets have an opportunity to use the draft and free agency to mimic something that worked wonders for Aaron Glenn's Lions.
Matthew Stafford will stay with Rams, but QBs like Aaron Rodgers, Sam Darnold and Kirk Cousins could change teams once 2025 NFL free agency begins.

The Detroit Lions secondary is expected to continue to deploy man coverage at an elevated rate, even though former defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is now the head coach of the New York Jets.

The fifth-year option values for players selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft have been revealed, with Detroit Lions edge-rusher Aidan Hutchinson and New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner set to be two of the highest-paid players once their options get picked up.

James Pearce Jr. cemented himself as a potential lightning bolt off the edge. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound pass rusher ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at the combine. Pearce is also quick in space, and seems to have some serious burst to his game. Like the 49ers, the Seahawks might be in the receiver market.
Arnold joined Detroit from Alabama as the 24th selection in the 2024 NFL Draft.
