Jets land Kingsley Enagbare on 1-year, $10M deal as Packers rebuild edge
The New York Jets signed former Packers edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare to a one-year, $10 million contract. Green Bay could receive roughly a sixth-round compensatory pick, though the Packers can pursue compensatory free agents and other moves without jeopardizing higher-pick projections. Enagbare, a 2022 draft pick (179th), started 21 games over four seasons and logged 1,896 defensive snaps plus 614 on special teams. The Packers have shuffled their edge/defensive-line groups after trades involving Rashan Gary and Colby Wooden, and are expected to add depth at edge and along the line for 2026.
