Sherwood’s Comeback Bid

Jamien Sherwood, Jets linebacker and captain with a $45M contract, endured a brutal 2025 season—benched multiple times after a promising start—raising doubts about his ability to live up to his pay and leadership role. But he’s back, hungry to prove last year was a fluke. Coaches see growth: self-critique and a drive to improve are key. While his run defense held up, his pass coverage cratered, leaving him to admit he needs to study harder and stay after practice. With a massive cap hit looming, a rebound is critical—not just for Sherwood, but for the Jets’ future. Enter veteran Demario Davis, brought in to fill the leadership void left by C.J. Mosley. Sherwood says Davis’ presence is already making a difference, offering the guidance he lacked last year. Can Sherwood silence the doubters and prove he’s worth every dollar?
