March 9: Jamien Sherwood was a backup going into the 2024 season for the Jets. A year later, and with a team MVP award under his belt, he just became one of the five highest-paid linebackers in the NFL after agreeing to re-sign with the Jets for $45 million ($30 million of it guaranteed) on a three-year deal.

In a somewhat shocking move, the New York Jets have secured quarterback Justin Fields on a two-year, $40 million deal, signaling a major shift in their offensive approach.
