New York Jets News

The New York Jets have plenty of questions as the 2026 offseason gets underway, including what they will do at the quarterback position after the <a href="/nfl/players/justin_fields/629417">Justin Fields</a> experiment crashed and burned last year.

The 2025 regular season has concluded, and with that, the New York Jets season has ended as well. The team ended with a 3-14 record, failing to reach the postseason for a 15th straight year.

There's going to be a lot of quarterback talk around the New York Jets over the next few months. New York has the No. 2 pick in the 2026 National Football League Draft, a handful of draft picks at their disposal, and plenty of salary cap space.

The New York Jets have an intriguing opportunity ahead of them this offseason. That's obviously an interesting, to say the least, thing to say after the Jets went 3-14 in the regular season, but it's the truth.

Rule changes have made passing numbers easier to compile in the modern era, and the game's top quarterbacks have taken full advantage. While the heaviest hitters are represented here, some storied postseasons by slightly lesser-celebrated QBs remain entrenched in playoff annals as well.

It was evident from the very first answer at 1 Jets Drive during Tuesday’s end-of-year press conference: A new pecking order of importance has been pushed.

New York Jets head coach <a href="/nfl/players/aaron_glenn/1984">Aaron Glenn</a> aimed to bring his passion and “no-nonsense” attitude from the moment he was first hired by the organization last year.

The New York Jets aren't expected to make a change at head coach. New York brought <a href="/nfl/players/aaron_glenn/1984">Aaron Glenn</a> back to the franchise as the team's head coach ahead of the 2025 season after a successful stint as the Detroit Lions' defensive coordinator beforehand.

Even compared to their <a href="/nfl/players/robert_saleh/719228">Robert Saleh</a> seasons, the Jets took a significant step back in 2025. The team tumbled to 3-14 and will hold the No. 2 overall pick.

New York Jets fans often share a common misconception about why their team has struggled over the last 15 seasons. Most believe that the culture inside the building is bad, and that alone is a reason why the team hasn’t made the playoffs since <a href="/other_sports/players/barack_obama/126841">Barack Obama</a> was in his first term.

The New York Jets were the topic of conversation on ESPN on Wednesday. Oregon quarterback <a href="/college_football/players/dante_moore/913712">Dante Moore</a>, who is widely expected to be the No. 2 quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft class, hasn't announced whether he will be going to the draft or staying in college.

For years, Thanksgiving belonged to the NFL, but Christmas belonged to the NBA. Occasionally, an NFL game would fall on Christmas, but it was anomalous, even avoided if possible.

It appears that former second-round pick <a href="/nfl/players/breece_hall/655571">Breece Hall</a> is a big fan of up-and-coming artist Olivia Dean’s new album, as the New York Jets running back posted about it on social media.

The New York Jets took a risk on <a href="/nfl/players/justin_fields/629417">Justin Fields</a> last offseason, and it didn't pay off this season. Fields was brought in with the thought that he could develop into the team's franchise quarterback.

If the New York Jets get the quarterback position right in 2026, they could expedite this rebuild. New York is strapped with plenty of salary cap space -- over $66 million, per Over The Cap -- and a handful of high-end draft picks thanks to the <a href="/nfl/players/sauce_gardner/654320">Sauce Gardner</a> and <a href="/nfl/players/quinnen_williams/587840">Quinnen Williams</a> trade over the next two NFL Drafts.

Over the next few months, there's going to be a lot of things said about how the New York Jets can improve. When you go 3-14 in a season with five straight losses of 23 points or more to end a campaign, that's going to be the case.

The New York Jets lost their way to the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. It’s a critical development for the Jets, who are once again expected to select a quarterback in the first round.

The New York Jets aren’t just rebuilding but excavating. After a season that managed to be historically bleak even by franchise standards, the 2026 NFL Draft represents more than talent acquisition.

The New York Jets officially signed five players to futures contracts on Monday, including WR <a href="/nfl/players/jamaal_pritchett/928330">Jamaal Pritchett</a>. The full list of players includes: DE <a href="/nfl/players/paschal_ekeji/929093">Paschal Ekeji</a> T <a href="/nfl/players/liam_fornadel/895803">Liam Fornadel</a> LB <a href="/nfl/players/ochaun_mathis/648902">Ochaun Mathis</a> WR <a href="/nfl/players/jamaal_pritchett/928330">Jamaal Pritchett</a> DB <a href="/nfl/players/samuel_womack/628103">Samuel Womack</a> Pritchett, 22, started his college career at Tuskegee before transferring to South Alabama.

The New York Jets have many lowlights associated with their poor 3-14 season. But one in particular stands out - the Jets became the first team in NFL history to go the entire season without recording a single interception.

The New York Jets now know who they’ll be facing during the 2026 NFL season. The league officially announced each team’s full slate of opponents, giving Jets fans an early look at what will be another challenging road through the AFC and beyond.

The 2025 NFL season is officially over, which means many teams can now put their eyes fully toward the future. The New York Jets cemented the No. 2 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, which means they will be firmly in the conversation for a quarterback.

According to Rich Cimini, one option to watch for the Jets to fill their defensive coordinator position is former Michigan DC Wink Martindale.  Martindale
