About this episode

The episode discusses the New York Jets exercising the fifth-year option on edge rusher Will McDonald and his potential impact on the team's pass rush.

The New York Jets have exercised the fifth-year option on edge rusher Will McDonald, securing him for the 2027 season at nearly $14 million. Despite a mixed performance, McDonalds potential is evident, with a breakout 10.5 sack season in his second year.
