The Jets did some roster rearranging on Wednesday.
Jets sign TE Connor Hulstein, DL Patrick Jenkins
The New York Jets signed tight end Connor Hulstein and defensive lineman Patrick Jenkins.
Scoring Zone's Take
For Hulstein specifically, tight end is a position where late-summer roster adds occasionally turn into camp battles worth monitoring, but with zero context here on draft pedigree, prior production, or a stated role, there's no basis to treat him as more than a depth/practice-squad-caliber signing at this point. Jenkins, as a defensive lineman, has even less fantasy relevance on a standard scoring roster and should only matter if you're deep into IDP formats — and even there, this is not a signing that warrants a roster spot without further clarity on playing time.
Actionable take heading into draft prep: leave both players undrafted and off your watchlist for now. Do not use a late-round pick or a bench stash on either based on this news alone. If Hulstein starts drawing camp buzz for target share or Jenkins is mentioned in projected-starter conversations as preseason unfolds, that would change the calculus, but nothing here clears that bar. Confidence in this assessment is high — the sources are consistent and factual about the transaction itself, but by nature a bare signing announcement carries no fantasy-relevant projection, so treat this as a "monitor only" situation rather than a draft-day decision point.
