Report: New York Jets player robbed at gunpoint

A player on the New York Jets was one of two people that were robbed at gunpoint last weekend in Morris County New Jersey, according to a witness who spoke with NBC 4 New York. Authorities are searching for three males who they believe targeted, stalked, and followed the victims for more than 30 miles from Manhattan to their home in Morristown, according to the report from NBC 4 New York.

At around 8:00 AM on Sunday morning, Morristown police received several 911 calls about an alleged armed robbery. One witness said the suspects got out of a dark colored SUV to rob two individuals in another vehicle.

According to the report, the robbers took money and other valuable items, but nobody was physically injured or harmed.

The Jets player is currently unidentified at this point in time.

More on the New York Jets offseason moves

New York has been busy making many offseason moves in preparation for next year. The Jets brought in former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to be their next head coach.

New York is moving into a new era after firing head coach Robert Saleh five games into the 2024 season and then parting ways with general manager Joe Douglas in November.

Glenn is the third Lions assistant to take a new job this hiring cycle. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is now head coach of the Chicago Bears, while defensive line coach Terrell Williams is the new defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.

And one of the first moves he decided to make was not bring back Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback. It’s not exactly a surprise, considering the Jets were statistically worse with him under center, in nearly every offensive category across the board.

The Packers traded Rodgers to the Jets in 2023, but Rodgers missed nearly all of the 2023 season due to a torn Achilles. He returned in 2024 and led the Jets to a 5-12 record despite throwing for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns.
