The Jets have agreed to a deal to bring back OT Chukwuma Okorafor, per source.
Jets Fill a Key Hole on the Roster
Okorafor, 28, will turn 29 before the start of the 2026 season.
The 6-foot-6, 320-pound hog molly has appeared in 92 games and has made 60 starts. Last season, he appeared in 14 games for the Jets, but he did not start any of them.
The Jets were the only team in the NFL in 2026 to start the same five starting five for the entire season on the offensive line. So, Okorafor’s services weren’t required in the starting lineup.
However, he will be the Jets’ break-the-glass veteran swing tackle on the bench just in case an injury occurs.
This is a developing story and we’ll provide new details as they become available.
