Moses (knee) was cleared by the Jets' medical staff Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. The 34-year-old offensive lineman, an unrestricted free agent this offseason, played through a Grade 2 MCL sprain for the majority of the 2024 NFL season. However, he now appears to have moved past the injury following clearance from the Jets' medical staff. Moses can now enter the free-agent market fully healthy as he looks to return for his 12th NFL season in 2025.

Jets Injury Report
Moses (knee) was cleared by the Jets' medical staff Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. The 34-year-old offensive lineman, an unrestricted free agent this offseason, played through a Grade 2 MCL sprain for the majority of the 2024 NFL season. However, he now appears to have moved past the injury following clearance from the Jets' medical staff. Moses can now enter the free-agent market fully healthy as he looks to return for his 12th NFL season in 2025.
The Jets have given Lazard permission to seek a trade, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The second season of Lazard's four-year, $44 million contract went much better than the first, but it still looks like a huge overpay, and he still hasn't found success with any QB besides Aaron Rodgers (who won't be with the Jets in 2025). A release is more likely than a trade, as Lazard presumably would need to accept a pay cut to generate any interest. He's scheduled for non-guaranteed base salaries of $11 million in both 2025 and 2026.
The Jets are open to trading Adams before the start of the new league year on March 12, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Rapoport adds that the Jets are expected to release Adams if they cannot arrange a trade elsewhere, and, if he's let go, he could follow quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a new team in free agency. New York officially informed Rodgers on Feb. 13 that the team would not bring him back after his second season with the team. Adams reunited with the quarterback, who was his longtime teammate during their time in Green Bay, when the wideout was traded from the Raiders to the Jets in October. The 32-year-old posted 67 receptions for 854 yards and seven touchdowns over 11 games in the Big Apple. He also tallied 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown over three games with Las Vegas in 2024, marking his fifth straight 1,000-yard season. Adams would incur a $38.2 million cap hit for the Jets next season if he's cut, and he has two years remaining on his current contract, though none of his salary is guaranteed. Teams interested in acquiring him would likely prefer to wait until he is released before attempting to sign him on a lower number in free agency, which will make finding a trade partner by March 12 rather difficult.
The Giants are shifting their interest in a potential veteran quarterback to Rodgers, following the development of Matthew Stafford and the Rams agreeing to terms on a restructured contract Friday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. Russini reports New York and Rodgers have discussed a union all week at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Rodgers' primary interest was in the Rams, per a recent report from Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, but with that option now off the table, the 41-year-old signal-caller will have to consider other possibilities. With the Giants, Rodgers would have the opportunity to pair with a young standout wide receiver in Malik Nabers, who, as a rookie working with a combination of Daniel Jones, Drew Lock. Tommy DeVito and Tim Boyle, managed to put together a 109-1,204-7 receiving line across 15 games in 2024. The team additionally has the available cap space to potentially bring in Davante Adams to join Rodgers, a development both players have expressed interest in. Neither Rodgers nor Adams has yet been let go by the Jets, but their respective releases seem like a foregone conclusion.
Rodgers prefers to play for the Rams in 2025 and would attempt to bring Davante Adams with him to Los Angeles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Rodgers hasn't yet been let go by the Jets, but he's reportedly already working to find a new team behind the scenes, as his release from the Jets is a foregone conclusion. As for the Rams, there's been a whole lot of trade chatter around Matthew Stafford, with the team and quarterback at odds over his contract. Rodgers would come much cheaper, and trading Stafford could allow the Rams to add a premium draft pick to use elsewhere on the roster. However, there would likely be a downgrade in play at this stage of their respective careers going from Stafford to Rodgers. But the cost savings and shorter-term commitment might be appealing to Los Angeles. As for Adams, he's also expected to be let go by New York in the coming weeks. With Cooper Kupp headed out the door in L.A., Adams would make sense as a running mate for Puka Nacua. Stafford is the big veteran quarterback domino the rest of the league is waiting on to fall, whether that's a trade or a new deal to stay with the Rams.
Rodgers recently said he's more likely to continue his football career if he can find a good team that really wants him, NFL.com's Kevin Patra reports. That's more difficult than it sounds, especially after Rodgers' unsuccessful tenure in New York. The Jets have already informed him they're "moving in a different direction", and with minimal chance of trade interest it's only a matter of time until he's released. The teams most likely to consider signing the 41-year-old QB aren't the ones generally considered to be "good," and Rodgers may end up looking at a short list of suitors even if he's flexible on his stated criteria. A couple of the teams that theoretically might have interest would probably prefer to see what happens in free agency and the NFL Draft before settling for Rodgers as their Week 1 starter in 2025.
Taylor appeared in two regular-season games for the Jets in 2024, completing 17 of 22 passes for 119 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing three times for 13 yards. Taylor remained on the sidelines for the vast majority of the season, operating as Aaron Rodgers' backup. The latter remained healthy enough to start all 17 regular-season games for the Jets, leading to little opportunity for Taylor. The Virginia Tech product is under contract for next season, and assuming he remains with the Jets, will likely be competing for a backup job again to whoever the team brings in to start, assuming they follow through with releasing Rodgers later in the spring.
The Jets officially informed Rodgers on Thursday that the team will be "moving in a different direction at quarterback." Rodgers' tenure in New York comes to a conclusion after two years as a starter, with his first year having been limited to a mere handful of regular-season snaps before the storied veteran suffered an Achilles tear. The Jets' decision to move on was anticipated, but making the announcement official early in the offseason could make it easier for the 41-year-old quarterback to find an alternate opportunity. Rodgers has one season remaining on the three-year contract he signed with the Jets in July 2023, which positions New York for a cap hit of $49 million in dead money if he were to be released. If he were cut with a post-June 1 designation, the team could opt to more flexibly split up his $49 million in dead money over the next two seasons. Rodgers racked up a solid 3,897 passing yards, with a 28:11 TD:INT, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2024.
