Jets Should Fill Their Last Roster Hole With 'High-Reward' Free Agent
The New York Jets, coming off a 3-14 season, are looking to fill roster gaps, particularly at cornerback. Former Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers player Trevon Diggs remains a free agent and could provide a high-upside addition. Analysts suggest Diggs is a low-risk, high-reward option who could strengthen the Jets' secondary if he regains his Pro Bowl form.
- ▪The New York Jets finished the 2025 season with a 3-14 record in head coach Aaron Glenn's first year.
- ▪Trevon Diggs recorded 11 interceptions in 2021, the most by any player in a single season over the past four decades.
- ▪The Jets did not record a single interception during the entire 2025 season.
- ▪Matt Okada of NFL.com supports the idea of the Jets signing Diggs as a low-cost, high-reward move.
- ▪Diggs has struggled with injuries over the past three seasons but is considered a strong talent when healthy.
