The Jets selected 2024 fifth-round QB Jordan Travis to provide better depth behind QBs Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor. New York DE Jermaine Johnson, who spent time with Travis at Florida State, loves the fit and thinks it’s a great chance for Travis to learn behind two veteran quarterbacks.
“He gets to sit behind Tyrod and Aaron and learn from Tyrod’s perspective and Aaron’s perspective, and then also I mean they have a killer quarterback just in the stable learning from those guys,” Johnson said, via Coral Smith of NFL.com. “So it’s good for everybody and I just thought it was perfect for both sides, so why not, and sure enough when the opportunity came around they grabbed him.”
Dolphins DL Zach Sieler said it was tough to see DL Christian Wilkins depart in free agency but he’s happy he got paid.
“It’s awesome. I love playing with a guy, but I’ll tell you it’s great seeing him get paid somewhere else and make an impact over there,” Sieler said, via PFT. “But in reality, this defense and this D-line has been built up. It’s not just him or him and I or whoever inside. It takes a whole rotational front, it takes everybody up front. So it’s been really cool getting to know these new guys coming in and learning how their techniques and habits and how we can play off each other.”
