#new-york-jets

the Giants and the Jets both are 0-2, a pitiful reflection of their overall ineptitude and yet a steep disappointment based on where we were less than a month ago. Back then everything was rosy, optimism was high and there was legitimate hope that this season would be different from so many of recent vintage. Aaron Glenn was the coach who was going to change the Jets. Russell Wilson was the quarterback who was going to fix the Giants. So far everything feels morbidly similar.

Trying to bolster one of their weakest positions, the New York Jets acquired defensive tackles Harrison Phillips and Jowon Briggs in separate trades on Wednesday. The Jets traded two seventh-round picks (2026 and 2027) to the Minnesota Vikings for Phillips and a 2027 seventh-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The trade is pending a physical. The Vikings agreed to pay $3.7 million of Phillips' $7.4 million salary for 2025, a source told Schefter.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets held a clandestine practice Sunday. There were no media present. There were no assistant coaches, either. It was just coach Aaron Glenn and the players. The players conducted their own drills and called their own plays. Quarterback Justin Fields ran the offense, middle linebacker Jamien Sherwood ran the defense. Word of the practice leaked Wednesday, with a handful of veterans saying they'd never been involved in a player-driven practice.
