Edge: With the Jets likely to lean into the run game, both guys could be on the field at the same time plenty in 2025. Expect Ruckert to have the early edge as the lead tight end target, at least until Fields gains enough chemistry with Taylor to take advantage of his superior abilities.

The New York Jets paid cornerback Sauce Gardner (four years, $120.4 million) and wide receiver Garrett Wilson (four years, $130 million) this offseason, but both players clearly aren't letting their contracts affect their hunger and desire to be great.
