As the regular-season kickoff approaches, the New York Jets took a proactive step to strengthen their interior offensive line depth ahead of the 53-man cutdown deadline. They announced the transaction on X, stating: "OFFICIAL: We've acquired OL Jordan Meredith." According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, New York sent a sixth-round draft pick in 2027 to Las Vegas for Meredith and a conditional late-round pick.
At 28 years old, Meredith brings valuable experience and versatility to the Jets' offensive line, capable of playing both guard and center. The Western Kentucky product has made 19 starts over the past two seasons with the Raiders, demonstrating strong pass protection and reliable run-blocking skills before Linderbaum arrives in free agency. By acquiring Meredith, the Jets gain immediate insurance for their offensive front, ensuring they have proven depth to protect their quarterback as they prepare for Week 1.
