This is the story of professional football’s most persistent ghost.

The story of a man who has carved out a 12-year career as a pro punter without ever appearing in an NFL game.

He’s existed on the margins of the league for one very specific reason: his left foot.

He is proof that extraordinary careers can unfold entirely in the shadows. And the dream isn’t dead yet.

This is the story of Brock Miller.

For the record, I don’t think the Jets have received an offer of a straight 2nd or even a 3rd for Will McDonald.

Feels like a lot of media posturing from his agency in an effort to make a last-ditch attempt to put pressure on the Jets.

Costello’s report is from the perspective of McDonald and is worded as “in the range of a 2nd.” That’s intentional wording.

We also had Schultz’s report earlier today which stated that an offer “involved a Day 2 pick.” Once again, intentional wording. Also Schultz’s reporting is notorious for being very player/agent-friendly.

All of this is to say, I think the Jets have offers on the table and they will consider them.

McDonald’s agency is trying to ramp up the pressure, while the Jets are hoping to drive up the cost by publicly stating they don’t want to trade him.

It’s all a game. We’ll see what happens when the dust settles tomorrow.

Despite Andrew Beck’s OOB kick, his 29.4 yard average starting field position on KOs would actually rank 8th out of 40 qualifiers (min. 5 attempts 😶) this season.

The Jets allowed an AVG of just 23.0 YPR on Beck’s kickoffs, a considerable improvement from Sanders/McNamara.

Borderline inconsequential sample size, but I applaud the Jets for thinking outside the box.

Could see this becoming a leaguewide trend if it works out. Jets should stick with it.

Some ugly Demario Davis numbers from 2026:

• His 43.3 PFF grade currently ranks 76th out of 76 LBs to play at least 175 defensive snaps this season.

• His 40.1 PFF coverage grade ranks 70th/76, as he’s allowed 25 catches for 235 yards on 33 targets (per PFF).

• He’s missed 17.1% of his tackle attempts which would be a new career-worst.

• 13 missed tackles and only 16 run stops. For context, he had 16 missed tackles and 55 run stops in 2025.

There’s missing context and PFF grades aren’t everything, but it’s undeniable he’s taken a major step back this year IMO.

David Bailey is putting together a statistically historic rookie season for the Jets.

Through Week 9:

• 7.5 sacks (T-3rd in NFL)
• 5 forced fumbles (1st)
• 10 TFLs (T-3rd)
• 31 pressures (13th among EDGE)

His 7.5 sacks are tied for the 5th-most through a player’s first 8 career games since 1982.

He’s also the ONLY player in the last 30 years with 7+ sacks and 5 forced fumbles in his first 8 career games.

Pretty remarkable start to his NFL career.
