NEW YORK — After a draft day deal, the Jets added an offensive weapon with the 11th overall pick

Rodgers is a fan of the Jets drafting Fashanu and of the team giving him an extra layer of protection on the offensive line.

The Jets had to wait a while to make their first and only selection on Day 2 of the NFL Draft.

But after a flurry of trades, Gang Green had just one pick in the fourth round and used it on Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen with the 134th overall pick.

Two days ago, defensive end John Franklin-Myers had a cryptic post on X, formerly Twitter. “Life's a trampoline, I'm gone bounce back regardless,” Myers wrote.

Eight days later, Douglas told reporters following the 2024 NFL Draft that the Jets will exercise their option on Vera-Tucker's contract for the 2025 season.

The Jets' offense has been the source of their problems the last two seasons. Jets general manager Joe Douglas and coach Robert Saleh have been widely criticized for that.

During the last two seasons, the Jets ‘ offensive line has been decimated by injuries. Alijah Vera-Tucker has also been affected by the injury bug.

In March, Jets veteran linebacker C.J. Mosley restructured his contract to give the team more salary cap relief.
