This page lists all the 2026 NFL Signings for the New York Jets. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

🏈 2026 NFL Free Agent Signing Grades by Team (Synced 3.23.26)
- Total Signings: 8
- Average Grade: B- (82.9)
March 2026 – Signings
Jets re-sign S Andre Cisco (1 year, $5.25 million): A+ Grade
signed on 3/13/2026
Andre Cisco’s down year did not come at a great time. He’s played very well in the past, but struggled in 2025. He dealt with an injury, which could have been the catalyst for his regression. Cisco, however, is just 26, so there’s a good chance he’ll rebound. The Jets did extremely well to re-sign him to this 1-year “prove it” deal, as they should get him at his best in 2026.

Jets sign G Dylan Parham (2 years, $20 million): A- Grade
signed on 3/11/2026
The Jets had lots of work to do with their interior offensive line entering free agency. Signing a former Raider blocker doesn’t sound very promising, but Dylan Parham was the lone bright spot on Las Vegas’ offensive line last year once Kolton Miller suffered an injury.
Parham was solid last season, though he was much better in 2024. Still, he should serve as an upgrade for the Jets at a very reasonable price.

Jets sign CB Nahshon Wright (1 year): A+ Grade
signed on 3/10/2026
The Jets have done plenty of stupid things through two days of free agency, but this is not one of them. I actually love this signing enough to give it an A+.
New York has been overpaying dusty veterans despite being in a rebuild. Collecting young players on reasonable deals like Nahshon Wright is what they should’ve been doing the entire time. Wright, 27, thrived in his first year as a starter in Chicago. He should continue to improve, all while filling a big need in New York.

Jets sign S Dane Belton (1 year, $6 million): A Grade
signed on 3/9/2026
The Jets have made lots of sketchy signings today, but this is not one of them. In fact, it’s quite good. Dane Belton has improved each season, and he made some quality starts at the end of 2025. He could end up being a good player at a cheap price for the Jets if his upward trajectory continues.

Jets sign DT David Onyemata (1 year, $10.5 million): D Grade
signed on 3/9/2026
What are the Jets doing? Seriously, what are they doing? This would be a great signing for them if they were, say, competing for a Super Bowl. Do they think they’re competing for a Super Bowl?
David Onyemata is a talented defensive lineman who stuffs the run well and generates good pressure on the quarterback. However, he’s 33, so regression could be coming soon. Onyemata would’ve been perfect for a top team looking for a short-term spark at defensive tackle, but the plan doesn’t make any sense for New York.

Jets sign LB Demario Davis (2 years, $22 million): D Grade
signed on 3/9/2026
Signings like this are why it’s diffcult to take the Jets seriously. Granted, there are other reasons, but this is just a ridiculous move to make.
The Jets are in the process of rebuilding. They won’t even be able to begin the rebuild until next year when they land their quarterback, so why exactly are they signing 37-year-old linebackers to contracts worth more than $10 million per season? Demario Davis has been an incredible player over the years, but this is just a waste of everyone’s time.

Jets sign DE Kingsley Enagbare (1 year, $10 million): B Grade
signed on 3/9/2026
The Jets are signing edge players as if they believe the Raiders could steal Arvell Reese from them. First, Joseph Ossai, now Kinglsey Enagbare? What is going on here?
I like this signing more than the Ossai deal. It’s a 1-year contract, so there’s very little downside. Also, Enagbare is a Jack of all trades type of edge player, so he can do everything well for the defense.

Jets sign DE Joseph Ossai (3 years, $36 million): C+ Grade
signed on 3/9/2026
The Jets will be able to obtain a great edge rusher with the second pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to complement Will McDonald, but they apparently thought they needed to obtain a third pass rusher for when they go up against Josh Allen and Drake Maye. This would make sense if they had a team capable of competing with those organizations.
I’m surprised to see Joseph Ossai get so much money. Ossai led the Bengals in quarterback pressures last year, but that’s sort of like saying the 350-pound person is the most attractive individual in a room packed with 400-pound people. This is an overpay, but not an egregious one.
