Discussing Jets Free Agency and Draft with Ryan from Jets Talk 24/7

March 6, 2026·1 hr 7 min·5 clips

Why did the Jets trade Jermaine Johnson, and how does it reveal their plan to rebuild the defensive line?

March 5th sets the table. The host and Ryan from Jets Talk 24/7 open by laughing about how often they meet in the rough parts of Jets life and try to find something useful anyway. The mood is worn out but not dead. They treat the offseason as big because the Jets have cap space, draft picks, and too many questions to dodge. Jermaine Johnson comes up early through the trade sending him to the Titans, which leads into the harder math of moving pieces around the roster. Then the quarterback board takes over. Ryan goes through the Jets options like a fan who knows the list is getting smaller but still has to be honest about it. The dream names are basically gone. Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow are non-options, C.J. Stroud is a long shot that could cost too much, and Kirk Cousins is already out of the picture. Malik Willis is not Ryan's preferred landing spot, and he thinks Willis probably ends up with the Cardinals anyway. Kyler Murray is the dangerous temptation. The contract angle has some appeal, but Ryan wonders what Murray would do to the room, even while admitting the talent could save Glenn or make his life harder fast. That is the Jets problem in miniature. Every option costs something, every cost feels too high, and the coach still needs wins. Tanner McKee gets discussed. Davis Mills and the Bears backup come up too, but the same practical question keeps hanging there: why would teams with Super Bowl plans move useful backups cheaply? Mac Jones is where patience thins out. The idea of the 49ers asking for a first-round pick is treated as ridiculous, and neither side wants to spend a top-two-round pick on that tier. From there, the board keeps sliding. Tua is floated as a cheap backup, and Ryan lands on Derek Carr as the likely ending if the Saints situation breaks that way. The live-show feel stays in it through the close, with draft-night plans, tailgate talk, Thursday-night thanks, and the usual Jets hope that maybe the quarterback problem looks different by next weekend.
