What happened: Holcomb signed a two-year, $5 million contract in March and remains under contract through 2027. Any acquisition before training camp would require New York to negotiate trade compensation.

Why it matters: The move would add veteran depth before the Jets set their camp roles at linebacker. It would also commit draft capital and contract room to the position.

By the numbers: Holcomb's contract includes $625,000 guaranteed and averages $2.5 million per season.

What to watch: Watch whether New York opens talks before camp or enters practices with its current linebacker group.
