The New York Jets have added some much-needed veteran depth to their offensive line, officially signing former New Orleans Saints lineman Landon Young. The move comes after Young impressed during a tryout at the Jets' rookie minicamp, earning himself a fresh start in the Big Apple.
Young, a sixth-round draft pick out of Kentucky in 2021, never quite cracked the starting lineup full-time in New Orleans. However, he carved out a reliable role as a key rotational piece for the Saints' front line. In 2024, he showed impressive durability by appearing in all 17 games, making five starts along the way.
Now heading into his sixth NFL season, the 27-year-old brings a steady veteran presence to a Jets locker room that's buzzing with young talent. While he may not be a household name, Young's experience and versatility could prove invaluable when the Jets need a reliable hand to step in and protect the quarterback or open up running lanes.
For Jets fans, this signing is a quiet but smart move—bolstering the trenches with a player who knows how to grind. Whether he's starting or coming off the bench, Landon Young is ready to answer the call.
