New York Jets Trade Rookie Brandon Codrington

The New York Jets traded undrafted rookie Brandon Codrington to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for late 2026 draft picks, a strategic move as he was unlikely to secure a spot on their roster. Concerns about the Jets' offensive line, which contributed to Aaron Rodgers' season-ending injury last year, have been alleviated with the addition of All-Pro tackle Tyron Smith and right tackle Morgan Moses, significantly bolstering their protection for the upcoming season. While the Winnipeg Jets face challenges after key offseason losses, they still possess veteran talent like Vladislav Namestnikov, who is expected to be pivotal for their playoff aspirations. The Miami Dolphins are preparing to trim their roster to meet the 53-player limit, with some players likely to be re-signed to their practice squad. In a related note, the Jets have designated 35 players as not expected to play in their preseason finale, maintaining confidence in players like Micheal Clemons and Xavier Gipson, who are considered roster staples. The Jets' cut-down deadline is set for August 27 at 4:00 PM ET, as they finalize their team ahead of the season opener.
