Ex-Vikings Speed Demon Chooses the Jets

Flashback: Vikings Run Over Jets in 2018Tom Pelissero tweeted last Friday, “The Jets are re-signing RB/KR Kene Nwangwu to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million, per me and Ian Rapoport.”

So, it’s Year No. 2 in The Big Apple for Nwangwu.

Kene Nwangwu’s Impact on the Jets

With the Nwangwu addition, New York will employ these running backs in 2025, at least as of March 17th:

  • Breece Hall
  • Braelon Allen
  • Isaiah Davis
  • Kene Nwangwu
  • Zach Evans

It’s a full house at running back for the Jets, even before the 2025 NFL Draft, which might feature roughly 30 halfbacks chosen by teams.

Nick Wojton wrote about the signing last week, “Under new head coach Aaron Glenn, it’s likely that Nwangwu gets another look as a return man in 2025.”

Nwangwu Background

Minnesota cut ties with Nwangwu last August, and he promptly went to the New Orleans Saints, but soon after, he failed a physical in New Orleans, ending that relationship and tossing him on the free-agent market. He landed with the Jets soon after.
