The Jets’ season has already reached a point where reinforcements are on the table.
After four weeks, New York sits at 1-3 and has dropped three straight, a frustrating stretch for a team that felt much better about itself after opening the year with a win. Instead, the early returns have looked familiar for this franchise: uneven play on both sides of the ball and no real consistency from week to week.
Now the defense has taken another hit. Star defensive end Braiden McGregor is out for the rest of the season because of injury, leaving the Jets with a major hole to fill up front.
That’s why veteran Joey Bosa has emerged as a name to watch. He remains a free agent after not signing with a team during the offseason, and Paul Esden Jr. of Heavy.com suggested the Jets should make the move. The logic is straightforward: Bosa could help New York replace some of what it just lost.
Bosa’s most recent season came with the Buffalo Bills, where he recorded 17 total tackles and five sacks. He also led the league in forced fumbles with five turnovers against opposing teams. He may not be the same player he was a few years ago, but there’s still production left in the tank.
The five-time Pro-Bowler has built a strong career even as injuries have piled up. He hasn’t played a full season since 2021, though he did appear in 15 of 17 games for Buffalo last year.
For the Jets, the appeal may not be about finding a new centerpiece. It may be about finding someone who can step in, provide depth, and still create timely pressure. Bosa could fill that role while also bringing veteran leadership to a defense that needs help now.

Sean Payton Just Sent A Clear Message About Denver's Offense
Sean Payton has moved back to the controls on offense, resuming play-calling duties after previously handing that job to Davis Webb. Its a notable reset for a Broncos attack that has sputtered early in the 2026 season, with the kind of uneven production that has left the unit searching for traction.
Payton said the change was about the bigger picture of team performance and responsibility, which gives the shift a pretty clear meaning inside the building. For Denver, the larger question now is whether putting the head coach back in the headset can steady an offense that has struggled across the board and needs a different feel quickly. [Read more 🡒]
Broncos Suddenly Have A Huge Opening In This Chargers Matchup
The Broncos head into their Week 5 trip to face the Chargers with a familiar kind of tension around the injury report, even as a few names have started to move in the right direction at practice. Adam Trautman and another Broncos player nicknamed Tillman were full participants, which at least gives Denver a little more depth as it tries to get through a division game that already feels important in the AFC West race.
What makes this matchup feel especially interesting from Denvers side is that Los Angeles has its own protection issues up front, creating a possible opening the Broncos will be eager to test. At the same time, Denver is bracing for key absences of its own in the secondary, with several defensive regulars dealing with ankle injuries, so the margin for error may be thin on both sides as the injury report continues to shape the game plan.

Broncos Offense Keeps Struggling But Players Are Still Backing Davis Webb
Through four games, the Broncos offense has had a hard time finding any real rhythm under offensive coordinator Davis Webb, and the results have already stirred plenty of conversation around the building. The unit has lagged in several key areas, but the message from inside the locker room has been less about blame and more about sticking with the process and getting the details cleaned up.
Adam Trautman and Mike McGlinchey are among the players still voicing support for Webb, pointing to his potential and the belief that the offense can improve with better execution. There is a shared understanding that the issues are on everyone, not just the play-caller, and for now the Broncos are keeping the focus on fixing what has gone wrong rather than looking for a quick reset.
