Overview
- NFL insider Tony Pauline reports the odds are high that Alex Anzalone signs with the Jets in free agency to reunite with head coach Aaron Glenn.
- Anzalone, 31, is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March and is reportedly not expected to return to Detroit.
- The Jets are targeting linebacker help after fielding the NFL’s worst defense in 2025, with Quincy Williams headed to free agency and Jamien Sherwood underperforming.
- Spotrac projects Anzalone’s market at two years and $14.5 million, pointing to a short-term, leadership-focused addition rather than a long-term solution.
- Anzalone previously worked with Glenn in New Orleans and Detroit and has 613 tackles, 13 sacks, four interceptions, and 36 passes defended in his career, as GM Darren Mougey signals an aggressive but calculated offseason approach.
