Jets Sign OT Chukwuma Okorafor, CB Isaiah Oliver

The New York Jets have made several key signings during free agency, including offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor, who was previously with the New England Patriots. Okorafor started only one game last season, playing just 12 snaps before being benched and then placed on the exempt/left squad list, but he brings seven years of NFL experience and is expected to compete for a starting position. Cornerback Isaiah Oliver has also re-signed with the Jets after a solid 2024 season, while the team added Rashad Weaver, an edge rusher with limited playing time last year. Analysts view Okorafor's signing as a low-risk move to bolster the team's depth at tackle, given his previous experience as a starter. Despite his struggles in New England and Pittsburgh, Okorafor's versatility could offer the Jets valuable options on the offensive line. The Jets’ recent acquisitions indicate a strategic focus on enhancing their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
