The Jets remain busy in their defensive overhaul. New York is in position to add veteran defensive tackle David Onyemata to the mix for 2026.
The parties have agreed to terms on a one-year deal, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. This pact has a base value of $10.5MM with $9.65MM guaranteed, Garafolo adds. Onyemata will play outside the NFC South for the first time in his career next season.
More to come…
Dang, wanted Onyemata to my Raiders trenches…
Have to wonder if he can bounce back to his average sack totals after only tallying one last year but a solid low risk signing to get him on a one year deal.
I get the younger signings of Enagbare and Ossai more for this team, but it’s hard to blame a team for looking at a huge amount of cap space and using a chunk of it to beef up the defensive front like crazy.
Are Phillips and Briggs still under contract? It’s basically a given that Mazi Smith will be cut, but the interior D front room is basically full with those two plus Sweat and Onyemata now.
Yes to all of the above.
