Trying to bolster one of their weakest positions, the New York Jets acquired defensive tackles Harrison Phillips and Jowon Briggs in separate trades on Wednesday. The Jets traded two seventh-round picks (2026 and 2027) to the Minnesota Vikings for Phillips and a 2027 seventh-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The trade is pending a physical. The Vikings agreed to pay $3.7 million of Phillips' $7.4 million salary for 2025, a source told Schefter.

Sieler acknowledged the importance of securing a new contract, but admitted that staying present with his teammates was just as vital.

While Johnny Newton only managed two sacks in his rookie year, his quickness and disruptive ability in the run game were positively noted, reflecting his potential to impact the defense positively.
