Note: Jets fans awaited word of the arbitrator ruling on Sunday which came down around 2 pm CT giving Jacob Trouba a $5.5 million dollar contract for next season.

Note II: Late in the day the Jets announced they had signed Brandon Tanev to a one-year deal for $1.15 million.

Note III: The last remaining RFA with an arbitration hearing is Marko Dano who is slated for a hearing on July 30th although it would seem likely the team and player come to an agreement prior to that date.

Note IV: The Jets still have to sign these remaining RFAs: Tucker Poolman, Joshua Morrissey, Nicolas Kerdiles, Eric Comrie, Nic Petan and JC Lipon.
