The New York Jets have exercised Will McDonalds fifth-year option, securing him for $13.752 million in 2027. Despite his eight sacks in the last two seasons, the Jets are in rebuild mode, trading Jermaine Johnson and stocking up on young talent. McDonalds growth has been steady but slow, and his value may increase if he performs well this season. The Jets are expected to finish near the bottom of the AFC East, focusing on free agency after 2027. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
