The Minnesota Vikings traded up to No. 10 with the New York Jets to select J.J. McCarthy.

The Vikings sent the No. 11 pick as well as a fourth rounder and a fifth rounder for No. 10 and the No. 203 pick.

McCarthy was the fifth quarterback selected Thursday night, following Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and Michael Penix Jr.

The Denver Broncos have acquired Zach Wilson from the New York Jets. The Broncos will also swap pick No. 203 with the Jets for No. 256.

Wilson was the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft out of BYU.

Denver also has Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci at quarterback.

Zach Wilson, who has been on the trading block by the New York Jets since the start of the offseason, is skipping voluntary workouts as he remains in limbo with the NFL draft approaching next week.

Wilson was granted permission in February to speak to teams about a potential trade.

The Jets already replaced him on the roster, having signed veteran Tyrod Taylor as Aaron Rodgers' backup.

The Seattle Seahawks are signing veteran guard Laken Tomlinson to a one-year deal, a source confirmed to ESPN on Friday.

The deal is worth up to $4 million, a source told ESPN.

Tomlinson, 32, was released by the New York Jets in February. He gives the Seahawks an experienced and durable starter to help fill one of their biggest remaining holes.

Aaron Rodgers has admitted that he worried his football career would be over when he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury on Sept. 11 of last year.

"I was really thinking, 'This is it. You don't come back from this injury,'" the 40-year-old quarterback said in a two-hour interview on the "I Can Fly" podcast.

His night began when he ran out with the American flag during the pregame introductions, which he called "one of the highest highs in my sporting career." Minutes later, on the New York Jets' first possession of the season, he was carted off with a season-ending injury.

"I had this incredible offseason experience in a new city, a new town, with new teammates, a new organization, an owner for the first time, and really falling back in love with the game that I first fell in love with when I was 5 years old," Rodgers said. "It was absolutely beautiful and special and deep and rich and yummy, and just incredible.

"And then, one of the most heartbreaking nights of my life, when I played four plays. Talk about an ego death."

Despite landing with the New York Jets in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, Haason Reddick isn't committing to a new contract with his new team.

Only Reddick and Myles Garrett had 10+ sacks in each of the last four years.

Reddick is in the final year of a three-year deal he signed with the Eagles before the 2022 season. After the trade, it was presumed that Reddick would sign an extension with the Jets.

"You know, all options are open right now," he said. "Currently just worried about being here, meeting everybody that's in the building today, contractual stuff.

"I'm leaving that up to my age and and Joe [Jets general manager Joe Douglas] to figure out, you know, But whatever happens, I'm going to be happy." 

The New York Jets currently hold the No. 10 pick in this month's NFL Draft.

According to a report, the Jets would like to field trade proposals from quarterback-needy teams behind them in the draft order.

New York could acquire another top-100 pick in such a trade to help them this season. The Jets only have two picks in the top-100 (No. 10 and No. 72) at the moment.

The New York Jets are confident that Mike Williams will be on the field in Week 1.

"Mike, he's got a long way to go," coach Robert Saleh said. "He's on the same timeline that Breece (Hall) had. They're very similar injuries, same time frame. He knows he's got a road to trek, but at the same time, if he does it the right way, we're very confident we'll have him ready for Week 1."

Williams, 29, tore his ACL on Sept. 24. He said during his introductory press conference with the Jets that he expected to be ready for the start of the 2024 season.

Searching for an edge rusher in the wake of Bryce Huff's departure in free agency, the New York Jets acquired Haason Reddick in a trade Friday with the Philadelphia Eagles, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Jets will send a conditional 2026 third-round pick to the Eagles that improves to a 2026 second-rounder if Reddick reaches 67.5% play time and 10 sacks, the sources said. In 2023, Reddick recorded 11 sacks and 38 tackles in 17 games. He played 74% of the defensive snaps.
