Jets coach says roster will stay largely unchanged after trade deadline

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said the team’s roster is expected to remain largely the same after the NFL trade deadline.

Glenn, whose side sit 2‑7 and on a four‑game losing streak, told reporters on Monday that “we’re going to stand pat” for the time being, adding that the club is focused on keeping good players.

Edge rusher Will McDonald IV, the 16th overall pick in the 2023 draft, has asked for a trade after seeing his role reduced. Despite three sacks this season, Glenn insisted McDonald will stay, noting a good relationship and a recent conversation with the player.

Glenn also confirmed that star wide‑receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall are expected to remain with the Jets, while players such as McDonald and cornerback Nahshon Wright could attract interest from other clubs.

The deadline this year is Tuesday at 4 p.m. EST. Glenn said he remains open to changes, particularly on defence, where the unit has struggled in recent weeks, and will continue discussions with general manager Darren Mougey about possible moves.
