New York Jets

Fantasy Impact: Nnadi spent the first seven years of his NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs. While a starter in his first six seasons with the Chiefs, he only started in one game in 2024. In his career, he has 233 tackles, five sacks, one forced fumble and one interception. Nnadi will likely hold a rotational role with his new team.

The Jets re-signed RB/KR Kene Nwangwu to a one-year, $2.5 million contract.

Fantasy Impact: Nwangwu should remain in his special teams role with the Jets.

The Jets signed P Austin McNamara.

Fantasy Impact: McNamara signed with the Bengals last season as an undrafted free agent. He'll compete this offseason for the starting role at punter for the Jets.

The Jets released LB C.J. Mosley. (Source: New York Jets on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Mosley will be designated as a post-June 1 cut, saving the Jets $4 million against the cap. It is still possible he retires as had been rumored back in February. He'll still have a market if he chooses to return.

Fantasy Impact: Weaver signed with the Rams practice squad last December. He'll compete for a depth role with the Jets pass rush.

DT Solomon Thomas reached agreement today on a two-year deal with a max value of $8 million with the Dallas Cowboys. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Thomas spent the past three years with the Jets where he combined for 9.5 sacks in that span. He'll add more depth and experience on the defensive line for Dallas.

The Jets signed S Andre Cisco to a one-year, $10 million contract. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Cisco spent his rookie contract with the Jaguars. He will add depth at safety for the Jets.

The Jets agreed to terms with CB Brandon Stephens on a three-year, $36 million contract. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Stephens spent the first four seasons of his career with the Ravens. He likely replaces D.J. Reed in the secondary with the Jets.

The Jets tendered restricted free agent S Tony Adams at the right of first refusal level. (Source: Rich Cimini on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Adams would be worth $3.2 million if he signs. He'll remain in a depth role in the secondary for the Jets if he remains with the team.

Free agent CB D.J. Reed plans to sign a three-year, $48 million deal with the Lions. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The contract includes $32 million fully guaranteed. Reed had been considered one of the top corners on the free agent market. He heads to Detroit as Carlton Davis leaves the Lions for the Patriots.

The Patriots agreed to terms with veteran OT Morgan Moses on a three-year, $24 million contract. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The deal is worth up to $28.5 million. Moses was given a clean bill of health from the Jets medical staff heading into free agency. He will add some veteran leadership to the offensive line for New England heading into year two for Drake Maye.

The Washington Commanders have agreed on a three-year deal with defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, formerly with the San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets. (Source: Adam Schefter on Threads)

Fantasy Impact: Kinlaw is earning $45 million and $30 million guaranteed. He has had back-to-back seasons with 3.5+ sacks and 9+ pressures from the middle of the defense while adding 4+ TFLs as well. The Commanders look to beef up their defensive interior and will do so with the 6-foot-5-inch, 319-pound Kinlaw.

Veteran edge rusher Haason Reddick is signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a one-year deal worth $14 million with $12 million guaranteed. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Threads)

Fantasy Impact: Reddick did not succeed the way the New York Jets had hoped when they traded for him — though the contract fiasco likely contributed to the situation — but Reddick is a proven sack artist. The Buccaneers were in the market for a veteran edge rusher, with rumors of interest in Khalil Mack. With Mack re-signing in L.A., Reddick is a sensible option, especially if his interests are already aligned.

Aaron Rodgers is in the mix for the Steelers, who are also negotiating with QBs Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, per league insiders. Rodgers, a free agent after 2024, won’t return to the Jets unless it’s for the Giants, while New York eyes Fields as his successor. Pittsburgh’s recent trade for WR DK Metcalf pairs him with George Pickens, creating a potent deep-threat duo backed by a stout defense. At 41, Rodgers could thrive there, though his fit hinges on the Steelers’ interest and contract terms. (Source: Adam Schefter)

Fantasy Impact: Rodgers to Pittsburgh would reboot his fantasy stock—Metcalf and Pickens offer elite targets, and the defense keeps games in range. His 2024 with the Jets was uneven, but a Steelers move could push him back into QB1 territory for 2025, especially if he’s healthy. Age and cost might cap his stay, so he’s a mid-round redraft gamble with upside.

The Jets re-signed LB Jamien Sherwood to a three-year, $45 million contract. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The deal includes $30 million guaranteed for Sherwood. He totaled 98 tackles and two sacks last season as a full-time starter for the Jets.

Davante Adams has been released by the New York Jets. The team will save nearly $30 million in cap space with the move. (Source: Adam Schefter on X)

Fantasy Impact: The time of the Green Bay veterans in New York is ending. Adams and Rodgers will no longer be on the team in 2025, and they are exploring trade options with Allen Lazard. In 11 games for the Jets last year, Adams caught 67 of 114 targets for 854 yards and seven touchdowns. He showed flashes of his old self in 2024, and should still get a decent contract even at 32 years old.

The Jets have given WR Allen Lazard permission to seek a trade, per team sources. Signed in 2023 as part of the Aaron Rodgers package, Lazard has two years left on his contract but managed just 37 catches across 12 games in 2024. The 29-year-old’s stock has faded since his career-high 2022 season in Green Bay, and his next move could hinge on Rodgers’ plans—potentially reuniting with the QB if Rodgers lands elsewhere. For now, Lazard’s camp is gauging interest from other teams ahead of the offseason. (Source: Adam Schefter)

Fantasy Impact: Lazard’s 2024 output—37 grabs in 12 games—left fantasy managers cold, a far cry from his 2022 peak. His Jets tenure flopped, and a trade might not revive his value unless he follows Rodgers to a pass-heavy system. At 29, he’s a depth piece at best, not a lineup lock—think WR4 or waiver fodder in standard leagues. Dynasty owners can hold if Rodgers pulls strings, but don’t bank on a big role wherever he lands. Watch free agency for his next stop.

The Jets are not expected to re-sign TE Tyler Conklin. (Source: Connor Hughes)

Fantasy Impact: Conklin caught 51 passes for 449 yards and four touchdowns last season with the Jets. He'll enter the free agent market.

The Jets are hiring former Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their new head coach. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: This has been the expectation over the past week. Glenn is a former Jets 1994 first-round pick, who became a personnel scout for the team. He now becomes the next Jets head coach. It will be worth monitoring who the offensive coordinator is for the Jets under Glenn.

Jets CB Sauce Gardner (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Week 18. (Source: Rich Cimini on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Gardner has dealt with a hamstring injury for a few weeks and was limited in the Jets last two contests. D.J. Reed and Brandin Echols should see increased snaps against the Dolphins in the season finale.
