On Qwan'tez Stiggers' truly remarkable journey to the Jets - from unwanted HS recruit, to 7 v 7 semi pro football & the CFL - through the eyes of those closest to him, including how a special bond with his brother helped him overcome the odds.

One of my favorite Jamal Adams moments was that time the Jets were still in playoff contention and he stood in the middle of the locker room ripping the coach and GM while also saying “it’s not about me” and praising his own leadership skills. Sums it up well.

So to recap: In January, the Jets let Mike Maccagnan help lead their coaching search. In March, they let him spend more than $100 million in free agency. Three weeks ago, they let him make six picks in the draft. And today, they fired him. Makes a lot of sense.

Leonard Williams said it was "fun" facing Sam Darnold.
"One time ... I had him wrapped up he still had the ball in his hand and he got rid of it and I was like, 'Damn, Sam.' And he just started laughing and he was like, 'F-you,' or something like that. It was funny."

Not an expert, but requesting a trade over frustration with your role when your team is experiencing success for the first time after years and years of awfulness is probably not going to maximize your trade value.

Zach Wilson saw his most extensive 11v11 action of OTAs and it went quite well: 8-for-10 with two of his best throws of the spring: the deep ball to Moore on the first play and a perfectly placed touch pass to Keelan Cole for a 20-yard gain. It’s early, but he looks good.

Jets defense has mostly had its way during 11 v 11 drills - Michael Carter II jumped a route to pick Wilson and Ashtyn Davis had a sweet one-handed interception of Flacco. But … they had no answer for Denzel Mims who just pulled down a Flacco deep ball in traffic.
