Jets' UDFAs: Lacy, Sheffield, More Add Depth

0:00On April 26th, the New York Jets wrapped up the 2026 NFL Draft and jumped straight into undrafted free agent signings to build death across the roster. They grabbed 10 intriguing prospects right away, targeting spots like wide receiver, running back, kicker, and defense. These moves are huge because UDFA's often turned into roster gyms just like quarterback Brady Cook did last year for them. Earlier this week, reports hit on guys like wide receiver Colin Lacey from Louisville, a pint-sized playmaker at 5-foot-9 who lit up special. Teens with two-power return touchdowns and third-team-all ACC honors. They also snag DT Sheffield from Rutgers for slot work in returns, plus running backs Chip Triannum from Toledo, who rushed for over 1000. Yards and Sam Scott from Wyoming, a downhill grinder with solid burst. Meanwhile, the Jets are sparking competition everywhere. Kicker Will Farron from BYU brings a booming leg, perfect from 50 plus yards, challenging Cade York who struggled on longs.

1:03On defense, linebacker Kendrick Blackshire from UTSA, an edge-rusher Nathan Voorhis from Ball State, adds speed and sacks while cornerback Mori Bamba, from BYU flashed a 4.2740, eyeing boundary snaps. Fans are buzzing about the upside, especially on special teams where Lacey and Sheffield could steal jobs from vets like Isaiah Williams. These signings plug holes without burning picks, and with training camp looming, expect fierce battles for that 53-man roster and practice, squad spots. As the Jets gear up for summer, these under the radar adds keep the pressure on drafted rookies and free agents alike, setting the stage for a gritty. Push toward contention.
