One of the newest Jets had an injury concern, but it shouldn’t affect his availability after the offseason program.
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters in his Thursday press conference that tight end Kenyon Sadiq underwent a minor procedure to repair a hernia.
But Sadiq is expected to be ready for training camp.
Glenn also noted that the Jets were aware that Sadiq would need the procedure before the draft.
The No. 16 overall pick of the 2026 draft, Sadiq is one of three Jets first-round picks this year. Linebacker David Bailey (No. 2 overall) and receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (No. 30) are the others.
As it turns out, there’s a limit to the power of FIFA.
Soccer’s international governing body has managed to dictate terms to those who will be hosting World Cup matches, compelling NFL stadiums to rip up artificial turf and install acceptable grass fields. FIFA may have met its match, however, with the attorneys general of New York and New Jersey.
Via Ben Horney of Front Office Sports, New York attorney general Letitia James and New Jersey attorney general Jennifer Davenport have subpoenaed FIFA amid an investigation regarding ticketing practices that have resulted in obscene prices for eight matches to be played at MetLife Stadium. The venue also will be hosting the final game.
“New Yorkers have been waiting years for the World Cup to come to their backyard, and they deserve a fair shot at affordable tickets,” James said in a statement. “No one should be manipulated into paying sky-high prices for seats, and fans should be able to trust that the tickets they purchase will be the ones they receive.”
“Being honest about ticket sales is not complicated,” Davenport said. “But FIFA has turned buying a ticket to the World Cup into a gauntlet of confusion, fake scarcity, and impossibly high prices — all at the expense of consumers and hardworking New Jerseyans.”
The objective is to determine how FIFA developed its pricing model. It will be interesting to see whether FIFA fully cooperates, or whether it attempts to obstruct and/or delay the process.
It’s one thing for market dynamics to dictate price. It’s another thing for games to be played in order to gouge consumers and to freeze out those who can’t afford to pay the exorbitant prices.
The Jets are signing kicker Younghoe Koo, Connor Hughes of SNYtv reports.
Koo recently participated in the Saints’ rookie minicamp, but New Orleans did not sign him.
He played for both the Falcons and the Giants in 2025, going 6-of-9 on field goals and 13-of-14 on extra points.
The Falcons released Koo after he missed a game-tying field goal at the end of a Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. He then appeared in five games with the Giants later in the season.
The 2020 Pro Bowler, who spent seven seasons with the Falcons, is 185-of-217 on field goals and 186-of-194 on extra points for his career.
The Jets already have Cade York and Lenny Krieg on their roster at the position.
The newest member of the Saints’ linebacker group is already very familiar with the team’s position coach.
New Orleans announced the signing of Jackson Sirmon to their 53-man roster on Wednesday. Sirmon’s father Peter is the team’s linebackers coach and he was also his son’s coach when the younger Sirmon was playing at Cal in college.
Sirmon signed with the Jets after going undrafted in 2024 and spent the season on the practice squad. He appeared in one game last season and had one tackle on special teams.
The Saints waived cornerback Jeremiah McClendon to create space for Sirmon on the roster. McClendon signed after going undrafted last month.
The Jets and Seahawks have reportedly agreed to a trade.
Zack Rosenblatt of TheAthletic.com reports that the Jets will send wide receiver Irv Charles to Seattle. The Seahawks will send a conditional 2028 seventh-round pick back to the Jets.
Charles signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and spent the season on the practice squad. He appeared in 25 games over the next two seasons and saw almost all of his playing time on special teams. Charles has 14 tackles and he was targeted with two passes without recording a reception.
Charles tore his ACL late in the 2024 season and did not play at all last year. He’ll try to make the 53-man roster and resume his playing career in Seattle.
