    Jets Camp — Sep 3: Grupe Took the Job Six Days Later

    Six days after naming Jason Sanders the winner of the kicking competition, the Jets claimed Blake Grupe off waivers from Indianapolis, released Sanders, re-signed him to the practice squad hours later, and on Wednesday worked out Justin Tucker, Michael Badgley and Josh Karty. Linebacker Trevin Wallace was claimed from Carolina, Nate Lynn came back on the practice squad, and Breece Hall is expected to start the opener.

    Jets Camp — Aug 31: Klubnik Is the Only Backup Quarterback

    The Jets cut to 53 and kept two quarterbacks: Geno Smith and rookie Cade Klubnik, with Bailey Zappe released. The kicker job went to Jason Sanders on Tuesday and got harder to feel good about by Friday, when he missed an extra point and a 54-yard try in a 23-6 finale loss to the Giants. Breece Hall made the roster, and Nate Lynn — three sacks in two preseason games — did not.

    Jets Camp — Aug 23: Smith Goes Seven for Seven in Pittsburgh

    Geno Smith played one series in Pittsburgh and completed all seven of his passes for 65 yards and a touchdown, a week after a sore foot scratched him from the opener, and the Jets shut out the Steelers 17-0. Rookie Cade Klubnik kept pushing the backup job conversation, second overall pick David Bailey got his first sack, and Breece Hall's groin injury put the lead back on a two-to-three-week clock.

    New York Jets Camp Update — August 16: Geno's Sore Foot and the Rookie Who Ran the Offense Anyway

    Geno Smith was a late scratch Friday with a sore foot, and fourth-round rookie Cade Klubnik led scoring drives on both of his possessions with the starting offense in a 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers. David Bailey spent two joint-practice days pressuring Baker Mayfield, Garrett Wilson answered last week's question, and the 35-year-old quarterback's availability just joined the watch list.

    New York Jets Camp Update — August 9: David Bailey Is Already Wrecking Scrimmages

    Geno Smith went 11-of-11 with four touchdowns in one practice and got humbled in Saturday's scrimmage — where the second overall pick spent the afternoon in his backfield. Both halves of the July collision are showing up on the same fields, sometimes on the same day.

    New York Jets 2026 Season Preview — The Zero-Interception Bounce

    The Jets intercepted zero passes in 2025 — the only team in our ten-year data below two — and turnover luck that bad has historically snapped back hard; the complication is the quarterback they imported to catch it.

Geno Smith threw twenty-four times, was not sacked, and produced plus ten expected points; the offense converted two of eleven third downs and still scored on five of eleven possessions.
