Mark Sanchez breaks silence, Rex Ryan gets emotional in tributes to Nick Mangold, dead at 41

Nick Mangold, a seven-time Pro Bowler and Jets leader, died from kidney disease complications after seeking a transplant and undergoing dialysis, the team said.

  • On Oct. 26 the New York Jets announced that Nick Mangold, former center and seven-time Pro Bowler, died at age 41 on Oct. 25 from complications of kidney disease.
  • Undergoing dialysis, Mangold had publicly sought a kidney donor earlier this month and needed a kidney transplant about 10 days before the Jets' Oct. 26 announcement.
  • Mangold spent 11 seasons with the Jets and missed only four starts in his first 10 seasons, earning a reputation as an iron man; he is survived by his wife Jennifer Mangold and their four children Matthew, Eloise, Thomas and Charlotte.
  • Rex Ryan paid an emotional on-air tribute calling the loss `It's brutal` and recalling `He wanted to play for me`, while Mark Sanchez posted a tribute with `Sanchez wrote on X`.
  • The Jets' 39-38 victory came amid heavy emotion in the locker room, as Olu Fashanu dedicated the win after the news hit before Sunday's game at Paycor Stadium.
