Roki Sasaki struggles in sixth inning against Cubs on bobblehead night
The New York Jets traded for defensive tackle Jowon Briggs, receiving him and a 2026 seventh-round pick while the Cleveland Browns got a 2026 sixth-round pick. Briggs had a strong season in 2025, making the trade favorable for the Jets.
Briggs had a quality season for the Jets last year, playing in all 17 games while starting eight. He had 38 tackles, four sacks, eight tackles for loss, and a forced fumble. Briggs was also second on the team with 38 pressures (behind only Will McDonald) and had a team-high 15.3 percent pass-rush win rate, according to PFF. He was primarily used as a rotational pass-rusher and was quite productive in the role on a bad defense.

Meanwhile, the Jets kept the No. 242 pick, which originally came from the Bills in the Amari Cooper trade. But then they traded it to the Seattle Seahawks. They sent 199 and 242 to Seattle for 188 where they selected Anez Cooper, Miami guard.
With the trade, Cleveland ended up with the first pick in the sixth round at No. 182. But, that pick has changed hands quite a few times. The Browns moved it in the Greg Newsome for Tyson Campbell swap, sending out the sixth-round pick and receiving a seventh-round pick in return. Then, the Jaguars traded the sixth-rounder as a part of the Jakobi Meyers trade, sending both the sixth-rounder and a fourth-rounder. Finally, Las Vegas moved the pick to the Buffalo Bills this offseason when acquiring cornerback Taron Johnson and a seventh-round pick. The Bills held 182 coming into the weekend and traded it to the Denver Broncos. It is tied for the most-traded pick in NFL history.
A late-round pick swap for a guy as productive as Briggs was in 2025 is pretty clearly a win for the Jets. And he is only 24.
