New York

Jets

The signing reunites Adams with former Jets head coach and new Titans head coach Robert Saleh. The two spent three seasons together in New York from 2022-2024. Saleh took the Jets job in 2021. The Jets signed Adams as an undrafted free agent in 2022. His 2025 season ended prematurely when Adams suffered his second groin injury of the year. He totaled 36 tackles, one quarterback pressure, one sack and five pass breakups before being placed on injured reserve in mid-December.

Newman went on IR with a neck injury early in the 2025 season. He appeared in five games, all as a backup. He will return as a depth option, having filled in for at least a few reps at all three interior line spots over his four-year career.

SNY’s Connor Hughes adds that Wentz has “options outside NYJ.” It’s time to really kick this free agency period into overdrive with a Carson Wentz bidding war. It’s what the people want.

Metchie was traded to New York from Philadelphia midseason. He was more productive as a Jet, but fellow trade acquisition Adonai Mitchell quickly blew by him in the pecking order for targets. Metchie finished the season with 33 catches for 274 yards and two scores, nearly all of which came in New York. He will be fighting for a rotational role in Carolina this offseason.

Parham has been a starter for the Raiders since the team drafted him in 2022. The former third-round pick appeared in 15 games in 2025. He played exclusively at left guard this year but has previously pitched in at center and right guard. Parham will take on a starting role with the Jets and his versatility will allow them some freedom with other free agent or rookie offensive linemen decisions.

Mitchell played just 73 snaps last year and hasn’t topped 500 snaps in a season yet since being drafted in the fourth round in 2022. He’ll return to a backup role on the Jets offensive line.

Clemons can make another million dollars via incentives. The former Jet totaled 4.5 sacks in 2024 as a full-time starter. His role declined last year and he fell to just one sack. A three-year deal suggests the Colts plan to give him more reps in 2026.

He’ll likely be in a kicking competition after Nick Folk fled the Jets for the Falcons this week. York didn’t attempt any field goals in the league last year after bouncing between two teams in 2024. The fourth-round pick of the Browns has hit just 33 of his first 45 NFL field-goal attempts.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports Wright’s deal is “worth up to $5.5 million.” The fifth-year corner turned in a career year with the Bears in his first season with the team, starting a career-high 16 games while forcing five interceptions and breaking up another 11 passes on his way to earn his first Pro Bowl nod. Wright, who stands at 6-foot-4, plays predominately on the outside and will likely get another chance to start in Aaron Glenn’s system as hopes to replicate last year’s success.

Smith agreed to a restructured contract with the Raiders before the trade, complicating the salary implications, but the Raiders are reportedly picking up most of this year’s salary. To say that Smith’s year in the desert didn’t go well is an insult to the phrase “didn’t go well” as he led the league in interceptions and saw his adjusted yards per attempt fall from 7.5 to 6.8. He’s entering his age-36 season and is a last-chance gasp to keep the Jets from starting someone completely new. That said, if the Jets have something going right for their offense, it is their offensive line, and Smith probably looked worse than he was behind Vegas’ league-worst line. There’s the possibility of a dead cat bounce QB2 superflex season here. The Raiders have to be thrilled to save any money in a trade and the idea of getting a sixth-round pick on top of that can only help them as they move on to (what we all assume will be) the Fernando Mendoza Era.
