The Jets will be counting on their rookies in 2026, especially their three first-round picks. The team added some more youth to their roster via the addition of 12 undrafted free agents:
- Mory Bamba, CB (BYU)
- Kendrick Blackshire, LB (UTSA)
- Chase Curtis, TE (TCU)
- Will Ferrin, K (BYU)
- Garrison Grimes, LS (BYU)
- Xavier Hill, OL (Colorado)
- Caullin Lacy, WR (Louisville)
- Malik McClain, WR (Arizona State)
- Sam Scott, RB (Wyoming)
- DT Sheffield, WR (Rutgers)
- Chip Trayanum, RB (Toledo)
- Nathan Voorhis, EDGE (Ball State)
Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston, Caullin Lacy got a chunk of money to join New York, as the wideout earned a $15K signing bonus and had $247.5K of his base salary guaranteed. Lacy had a standout stint at South Alabama, including a 2023 campaign where he collected 1,316 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns. He took his talents to Louisville in 2024, and after playing a small offensive role during his first year at the school, he saw more work in 2025. He finished this past year with 75 touches for 688 yards and two touchdowns.
Lacy wasn’t the only undrafted WR to join the Jets. The team also signed Arizona State’s Malik McClain and Rutgers’ DT Sheffield. McClain had his best collegiate showing in 2025, finishing with 31 catches for 441 yards. Sheffield was a standout in 2024 when he finished with 908 yards and 12 touchdowns, but those numbers fell to 577 yards and five touchdowns in 2025.
Interestingly, the team added BYU’s kicker and long snapper. Will Ferrin is coming off a productive college career where he connected on 81.7 percent of his field goal tries and 99.2 percent of his XP tries. The UDFA will certainly be in the mix at kicker, where the Jets are also rostering Cade York. Ferrin will be joined on the offseason roster by BYU long snapper Garrison Grimes.
