The New York Jets are one game away from ending their 2024 season and officially being able to start focusing on the 2025 NFL Draft and free agency.  However, that won’t stop New York from trying to add pieces now for the future.

That exactly what they hoped they did on Monday.

It might be the end of the season for the New York Jets, but there is still time to plan for the future:

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport shared on social media that the Jets claimed defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis off of waivers from the Washington Commanders.

Rapoport added that Mathis was a “popular player on waivers” with four teams placing in claims for the talented defender including the Houston Texans, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, and the aforementioned Jets.

The waiver wire order is determined by their current record (the worst record gets the first pick). Gang Green is 4-12 which was worse than the other team’s records that placed in claims.

Here is a look at Mathis’ collegiate stats:
