After getting on the free agency board with defensive end Joseph Ossai, the New York Jets have added another veteran piece to their defensive line.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Jets have agreed with former Green Bay Packers edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare on a one-year, $10 million deal.

Enagbare, 26, was a fifth-round pick of the Packers in 2022. He has recorded 11.5 sacks, 146 total tackles, and 31 quarterback hits across 68 NFL games (21 starts).

In 2025, Enagbare had two sacks, 39 total tackles, and nine quarterback hits in 17 games (three starts).

Standing at 6-foot-4 and 258 pounds, Enagbare has been a consistently useful rotational player in his career, although he has not shown much of a ceiling. Across four NFL seasons, he has posted somewhere from 24 to 25 total pressures each year, along with two to 4.5 sacks. That consistency will be welcomed in the back end of a Jets edge rotation that had no depth to speak of beyond Will McDonald and Jermaine Johnson last season.

As a run defender, Enagbare has generated average production throughout his career, earning PFF run defense grades in the range of 54-65 in all four of his seasons. He also offers the ability to drop into coverage, doing so on 88 snaps in his career.

Enagbare and Ossai bring quality depth to the Jets’ defensive line, raising the floor of an edge unit that was essentially vacant outside of McDonald. The Jets are still expected to select an edge rusher second overall in the 2026 NFL draft, but now that they have three viable players in the unit, they have some flexibility to explore other options in the No. 2 slot if they so choose. Their desperation for edge depth has decreased, although the need for a game-wrecking player is still there.

On a one-year, $10 million deal, the Jets are not expecting too much of Enagbare. If the 26-year-old can take a leap, so be it, but the expectation is that he provides one year of solid depth at a premium position group that simply lacked bodies coming into the offseason.

With a very consistent track record of production across four seasons (along with pristine durability; he has played 68 of 68 possible games), the Jets feel a high degree of confidence that Enagbare will execute proficiently in his rotational role, explaining the $10 million price tag.

Enagbare is a low-ceiling addition for the Jets’ defensive line, but he offers a high floor and high reliability.
