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.
The Jets are expanding their reliance on automation well beyond Madden ratings.
Via Rob Schaefer of Sports Business Journal, the Jets have fully embraced AI.
The effort has crystallized under Iwao Fusillo, the team’s new chief data and analytics officer. That title put him in charge of business and football analytics.
Fusillo told Schaefer that 91 percent of the team’s front office now uses Microsoft Copilot on a day-to-day basis. Roughly a hundred days ago, only “a handful” of the team’s employees used it. Those utilizing it are averaging two or three prompts per day.
“I call that level one, or horizon one, which is adoption,” Fusillo said. “Do we have large business gains from that level one? Not really. But have we changed the culture of the entire front office? Yes. To think AI-first.”
AI has its uses, and it has its limits. There’s also a natural aversion to it, given the probability that it will displace millions of workers — and the possibility that it will eventually trigger an extinction-level event.
So the clock is ticking, Jets. Nearly 60 years after winning your only Super Bowl, you may have only another 30 chances to get another one.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles will get to catch up with one of his former teams this summer.
Bowles said at a Tuesday press conference that the Bucs have set up a pair of joint practices with the Jets before the two teams play in the first week of the preseason. Bowles was the head coach of the Jets from 2015-2018.
There will likely be workouts with the Jaguars before the final game of the preseason as well.
“We lined it up with the Jets and we’re in the process of trying to line it up with the Jaguars, as well,” Bowles said, via the team’s website. “We’ll probably just play Kansas City.”
The Bucs practiced with both of the AFC teams ahead of the 2023 season as well.
