What happened: The club added depth in goal, on defense and at forward before camp. The additions broaden its options for the 2026-27 roster.
Why it matters: The extra depth could let the Jets carry the trade situation into camp instead of forcing a deal. A no-movement clause narrows possible destinations and complicates negotiations.
By the numbers: The contract at the center of the talks runs through five more seasons and carries an $8.5 million annual cap hit.
What to watch: Watch whether an acceptable destination emerges before the preseason opener Sept. 19.
