Signing with Gang Green
Cohen agreed to a one-year contract with the Jets on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Cohen will turn 29 years old in July and hasn't played in an NFL game since Week 3 of the 2020 season, when he suffered an ACL tear that derailed a promising career. He missed all of 2021 while rehabbing from the knee injury and all of 2022 after suffering a torn Achilles' tendon during the spring. Cohen then landed with the Panthers in 2023 and spent most of the season on their practice squad, but he struggled with a hamstring injury, never got a promotion and ultimately was released in early May. He's unlikely to make noise in a backfield that has Breece Hall and two incoming draft picks, but Cohen should get a look on kick and punt returns this offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mixes in with first team in OTAs
Cohen took some first-team reps in OTAs on Wednesday after signing a one-year contract with the Jets, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Starter Breece Hall didn't participate in practice, leaving more opportunities for the rest of the running back room, which consists of Cohen and a few unproven young players. Cohen hasn't played an NFL game since 2020 due to injuries, including a torn ACL and torn Achilles. Head coach Robert Saleh believes the 28-year-old running back can contribute as a change-of-pace option on offense and as a return man on special teams. Cohen will likely battle for a roster spot throughout training camp and the preseason.

Cohen's 2020 season lasted three games before a collision on a punt return resulted in a torn ACL, sidelining him for the rest of the year. Heading into his fifth NFL campaign, it's not clear where the pass-catching specialist fits into Chicago's offense. David Montgomery established himself as a three-down weapon in Cohen's absence, and the team added another versatile backfield option in Damien Williams during the offseason. That creates a lot of competition for targets, even if Cohen is still the best of the trio at that aspect of the game. On the bright side, the Bears' passing game as a whole should be improved, or at least more consistent, with first-round pick Justin Fields and veteran Andy Dalton replacing the scattershot Mitchell Trubisky at the top of the QB depth chart. Plus, the front office didn't add any other significant receivers to the mix at wide receiver or tight end, instead banking on improvement from WR Darnell Mooney and TE Cole Kmet. Assuming he's 100 percent recovered from his knee injury, Cohen offers speed and elusiveness in the open field that no one else on the roster can match, even if his lack of size or power means he needs to gain most of his yards before contact, not after a defender has gotten their hands on him.
