According to Over The Cap, the\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0are projected to have $99.3 million in cap space during the 2026 offseason, fourth-most in the NFL.<\/p>\n
Jermaine Johnson\u00a0already has an idea for how the Jets should use it.<\/p>\n
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Johnson reposted a fan\u2019s post that speculated whether the Jets should bring back defensive end\u00a0John Franklin-Myers, an impending free agent. Johnson attached the infamous \u201ceyeballs\u201d emoji, implying his support for the idea.<\/p>\n

Franklin-Myers, 29, is in the final year of a two-year, $15 million contract he signed with the Denver Broncos ahead of the 2024 season. He will be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.<\/p>\n
A 2018 sixth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams, Franklin-Myers\u2019 career took off after the Jets claimed him off waivers in August 2019. After sitting out his first season in New York due to injury, Franklin-Myers broke out in 2020, recording three sacks, 13 quarterback hits, and 51 total pressures across 15 appearances.<\/p>\n
It was the start of a successful run with the Jets, during which Franklin-Myers helped anchor one of the best defenses in the NFL. From 2020 to 2023, Franklin-Myers played 65 games with the Jets (52 starts), recording 17.5 sacks, 61 quarterback hits, 205 total pressures, and 125 total tackles.<\/p>\n
Franklin-Myers, who has a \u201ctweener\u201d frame at 6-foot-4 and 288 pounds, was known for his ability to rotate between the interior and the edge. On run downs, Franklin-Myers provided a sturdy frame on the outside, and on pass downs, Franklin-Myers would kick inside to explode past guards as a pass rusher.<\/p>\n
In April 2024, former Jets general manager Joe Douglas traded John Franklin-Myers to the Broncos for a 2026 sixth-round pick. Franklin-Myers has continued his success as part of a thriving Denver front, recording 11.5 sacks, 58 tackles, and 25 quarterback hits across 27 games (25 starts).<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, since dumping Franklin-Myers, the Jets\u2019 once-proud defensive line has deteriorated to a husk of what it was between the 2022 and 2023 seasons. The Jets have the second-fewest quarterback hits in the NFL this season (33). It\u2019s an area where Franklin-Myers could help; he has the 28th-most quarterback hits (86) among all players since 2020, including the 10th-most among players who primarily line up on the interior.<\/p>\n
New York could also use Franklin-Myers\u2019 edge-setting skills, as the team ranks 21st in yards per rush attempt allowed (4.5).<\/p>\n
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has\u00a0a history\u00a0of favoring defensive ends with Franklin-Myers\u2019 build and skill set. In Detroit, he utilized players like John Cominsky and Levi Onwuzurike in tweener roles. In New York, he\u2019s counted on Micheal Clemons to play a larger role than many expected.<\/p>\n
Time will tell if a JFM reunion transpires, but we already know that one leader in the Jets\u2019 locker room is pulling for it.<\/p>\n
In a move that has taken the NFL world by surprise, Maxx Crosby, the dominant defensive force for the\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders<\/strong>, has demanded a trade, marking the end of his time with the struggling franchise. Crosby, known for his relentless pass-rushing ability and leadership, has grown increasingly frustrated with the <\/p>\n Browns See Crosby as a Key Piece to Complete Their Defense<\/strong><\/p>\n The Cleveland Browns<\/strong>, who have made significant strides in recent seasons, are ready to take the next step in their pursuit of a championship.
