Jets Pick Up Will McDonald's Fifth-Year Option
The New York Jets announced on Wednesday that they have picked up the fifth-year option on former first-round defensive end Will McDonald, according to Eric Allen of NewYorkJets.com. This move should not come as a surprise to anyone after McDonald recorded 18.5 sacks in 32 games with the Jets over the last two seasons. The Jets selected the 26-year-old with the 15th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of Iowa State. He only had three sacks and 14 total tackles (nine solo) in 15 games (zero starts) in his first year with the Jets, but McDonald has looked like a first-round talent the last two seasons. In 15 games (14 starts) in 2025, McDonald had a career-high 30 tackles (19 solo), eight sacks, 10 tackles for loss, and 19 QB hits for Gang Green. McDonald is definitely a weapon for the Jets' pass rush, but he hasn't contributed enough as a run-stopper to put him on the map in IDP fantasy formats just yet.
