Jets and linebacker Jamien Sherwood agree to terms on a 3-year, $45 million deal, AP source says
The New York Jets and linebacker Jamien Sherwood agreed to terms Sunday on a three-year deal worth $45 million, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.
The contract includes $30 million in guaranteed money, the person told the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement wasn't announced by the Jets. ESPN first reported the deal.
The 25-year-old Sherwood stays with the Jets and is coming off a breakout season during which he was selected the team's MVP by his teammates after leading New York with 154 total tackles, including 95 solo.
Bringing back Sherwood was a top priority for new general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn, keeping one of the Jets' primary defensive leaders in the mix before the NFL's free agency period begins Wednesday.

Jets' Justin Fields Offers Positive Breece Hall Scouting Report
Jets' Justin Fields Offers Positive Breece Hall Scouting Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields is slowly getting acclimated to his new surroundings as minicamp continues. Advertisement At this stage of the offseason, it's all about dotting your i's and crossing your t's and getting to know your teammates. One whom Fields will be working closely with in 2025 is running back Breece Hall. Entering the final year of his deal and the subject of some trade speculation, Hall will be a Jet in 2025, and Fields' security blanket in both the run and pass game. And Justin already likes what he sees from Breece. "Breece is a ball player for sure," Fields said. "Everybody knows he can run, but what kind of surprised me is his natural hands. When I first started throwing with him, he has natural hands like a receiver. He's really just all around back, so definitely glad to have him on my team for sure." New York Jets running back Breece Hall (20) runs with the ball© Kevin R. / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Hall, as a receiver in his last two years, has totaled at least 50 receptions and 480 yards along with a handful of touchdowns, with his ability to catch and turn upfield a highlight. Advertisement With new head coach Aaron Glenn wanting the Jets to play a tough, physical brand of football, Hall will be central to that. His ability as a runner is well-documented, and now Fields is seeing how valuable Breece can be as a receiver. With many skeptics questioning the Jets' offense due to a lack of receiving weapons outside of Garrett Wilson, perhaps Hall can take his game to the next level as a pass-catcher. He's already catching the eye of Fields, so expect Breece to play a significant role for Tanner Engstrand in 2025, with his receiving skills being a key feature.

Marshon Lattimore never quite found his footing with his new team after the Washington Commanders traded for him midway through last season, but an update from head coach Dan Quinn brings positive news at the start of mandatory minicamp.
Marshon Lattimore never quite found his footing with his new team after the Washington Commanders traded for him midway through last season, but an update from head coach Dan Quinn brings positive news at the start of mandatory minicamp. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Washington Commanders' fervent efforts to build a contender around Jayden Daniels have become more than obvious over the last few months. Trades for Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil headlined an aggressive offseason that has the team positioned to compete for the NFC crown once again. Advertisement But general manager Adam Peters has pushed the envelope for some time now, dating back to the middle of the 2024 campaign. The Commanders, needing help in the secondary, traded for four-time Pro Bowl defensive back Marshon Lattimore. The offense in Washington gelled immediately though Dan Quinn has experienced a more challenging time reconstructing the defense to his liking. Acquiring Lattimore hoped to alleviate those concerns though an AC joint injury limited to only two games with his new team last season. Fortunately, Quinn had a positive update on Lattimore's status at the start of mandatory minicamp this week. As noted by JP Findlay of NBC 4 in D.C., Lattimore will have "no restrictions'' on his capacity for football activities. Lattimore missed voluntary OTAs but has fully capitalized on a full offseason to rest and recover. The Commanders should get the best possible version of Lattimore heading into next season. Advertisement They will certainly need it because the fellow cornerbacks around him have a relatively low level of experience or proven ability on the professional stage. Washington's success in 2025 depends on their secondary and the defense at large progressing as a unit. With all that in mind Lattimore will have plenty of motivation to have his impact felt in his first full season in the nation's capital.
