Ex-Viking Promoted on Jets’ Roster

Vikings 2021 3rd-Round LB Lands in New YorkAaron Wilson tweeted Thursday, “Jets IR for Jermaine Johnson, signed Jalyn Holmes to the active roster, elevated Marcelino McCrary-Ball.”

These are the Jets’ defensive tackles with Holmes’ call-up:

  • Quinnen Williams
  • Javon Kinlaw
  • Solomon Thomas
  • Leonard Taylor III
  • Jalyn Holmes
signed Stephen Weatherly for a few games, drafted Patrick Jones II and Janarius Robinson, and opted to showcase D.J. Wonnum more in his sophomore campaign. Holmes, along with Ifeadi Odenigbo and Jordan Brailford, was the odd man out.

In Minnesota, Holmes was primarily used as an EDGE rusher, but New York has implemented the 28-year-old on the line’s interior. Perhaps the versatility will increase his chances of sticking around the 2024 squad.

Meanwhile, New York’s defense was wonderful in 2024. It ranked third leaguewide per defensive DVOA. This season, however, the group ranks 23rd through two games, as the San Francisco 49ers sliced and diced New York’s defense in Week 1.
