In addition to their six-member draft class, the Jets have signed 16 undrafted free agents, and all 22 players are expected to participate in this weekend's rookie orientation. The Jets will not conduct any on-field workouts like in previous years.

"It's just the way that I've done it the last three years," head coach Adam Gase said. 'Most of those guys haven't played since December, maybe November and then to drag them out there and run them around; I guess I've seen too many times where you lose a first round draft pick to injury and you want to get them caught up as fast as possible when you go install, practice, correct, another install. By the time you get done with the weekend, they have no clue what happened, so I'd rather those guys absorb it, focus on the guys that we're going to have on the roster that are going to try and help contribute. We just want to get them caught up as fast as possible and that's the best way to do it."
