mocking headline<\/a>)\u00a0to the secondary. He has already displayed IDP\u00a0upside with two franchises.<\/p>\nWill That Old LB\u00a0Ever Go Away?<\/p>\n
LB\u00a0Demario Davis arrives as an interesting signing. He opened his career with the Jets but returns off eight consecutive years as a Saints defensive cornerstone.<\/p>\n
Davis’ $22 million, two-year deal seems to at least lock him in as a 2026 starter. But he’s also 37. But he has also missed just two games across 14 seasons.<\/p>\n
Davis remains a perennial good bet at IDP\u00a0draft cost.<\/p>\n
He joins Jamien Sherwood as New York’s clear top 2 at the position.<\/p>\n
Line Adds Two Starters<\/p>\n
The Jets also gave 2026 starter money to Edge Joseph Ossai and DT\u00a0David Onyemata in free agency.<\/p>\n
Onyemata spent the past seven years as a starter:\u00a0four of those in New Orleans and then three in Atlanta. He offered just modest fantasy scoring, even for a DT.<\/p>\n
Ossai spent five years not becoming a full-time starter in Cincinnati, including a mere one-year deal when he hit free agency last offseason.<\/p>\n
He posted a strong finish to 2024 but then regressed from that level in 2025, despite opportunity presented by injuries to Trey Hendrickson and first-round rookie Shamar Stewart.<\/p>\n
There’s some intriguing talent to Ossai, but he’ll need to prove he can turn that into numbers at his second NFL stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jets won’t fool anyone into believing they’re a 2026 contender.
