The New York Jets underwent some changes at linebacker this offseason. The team parted ways with starter Quincy Williams, who signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns in free agency. General manager Darren Mougey responded to that departure by signing Demario Davis, a veteran linebacker who reunites with the Jets<\/a> after previously playing for head coach Aaron Glenn. Davis projects as a strong culture fit and locker room leader.<\/p>\n

The Jets could stand to improve at linebacker. Right now, they’re reliant on back-end players like Kiko Mauigoa and Mykal Walker to make an impact. The 2026 NFL draft represents an opportunity to target another linebacker capable of being a future starter.<\/p>\n

Mougey and his scouting staff are doing their homework on an intriguing prospect. In a recent interview, Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golday said the Jets planned to meet with him face-to-face at his recent pro day (3\/24) showcase.<\/p>\n

“The New York Jets and Giants will be in town to meet me at pro day,” Golday told NFL Draft On SI<\/a>. “That\u2019s just a snapshot. I\u2019ve met with a bunch of teams.”<\/p>\n

Golday has been a fast-rising prospect. He initially played EDGE rusher at Central Arkansas before beginning a transition to linebacker. He went to Cincinnati and continued making a position change. This past season, Golday broke out at linebacker by recording a career-high 104 tackles.<\/p>\n

Golday projects as a potential second-round pick.<\/p>\n
