5 non-QBs to watch for the NY Jets in the 2027 NFL Draft
The start of summer scouting and prospect evaluation for the following April’s draft is always daunting. Hell, we have not even started the 2026 NFL season yet. I know it takes a certain level of sicko NFL draft obsession to jump in a full 10 months ahead of time, but alas, here I am. And ...

NY Jets rookie snap-count predictions: How often does Bailey play?
Since the beginning of the Darren Mougey-Aaron Glenn era, the New York Jets have emphasized getting younger and building a new core for the future. In 2025, the Jets allocated 18.6% of their total snaps to rookies, the second-highest rate in the NFL. That number figures to drop slightly in 2026, as the Jets added ...

Why Arian Smith’s NY Jets roster chances have changed
Last month, we broke down why Arian Smith shouldn’t be guaranteed a spot on the New York Jets’ roster for the 2026 season. Things have changed since then. It is fair to make the case that the former fourth-round pick is in a stronger position to make Gang Green’s 53-man roster. Why Smith is in ...

Remembering Chris Johnson’s time with the New York Jets
Electric running back Chris Johnson played just one season for the New York Jets and will always be remembered as a Tennessee Titans legend. Yet, on this day, all of that stuff hardly matters.

Jets film session: How good is Garrett Wilson beyond the numbers?
No football position can be evaluated solely on numbers. But if there’s one position where the numbers can lie more than any other, it’s probably wide receiver. They cannot produce a single stat without multiple other parties doing their job first. Just ask Garrett Wilson. Four years of quarterbacks like Zach Wilson and Justin Fields, ...

The one long-running NY Jets stat that has to change
The New York Jets have been a bad football team for quite a while now. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2010, and they haven’t even had a .500-plus record since 2015. With such a long-standing streak of failure, it’s worthwhile to look for trends that have spanned across the duration of the struggles. These ...

The NY Jets’ next extension candidate is pretty obvious
Throughout two offseasons as the New York Jets’ general manager, extending homegrown talent and rewarding players who exceed expectations have been priorities for Darren Mougey. This offseason, he has already locked up two of the Jets’ core homegrown pieces: Joe Tippmann and Breece Hall. Before the 2026 season kicks off, there is one more extension ...

2 NY Jets players due for positive regression in 2026
The NFL is a wacky sport—for many reasons. For starters, there are only 17 games, which means one single hot streak or cold streak could be enough to sink a player or team’s entire season. Unlike the 82-game schedule of the NBA and NHL or the 162-game schedule of MLB, the sample size is too ...

NY Jets’ front seven flies up NFL ranking: Are fans in agreement?
No unit on the New York Jets’ roster underwent more changes than the defensive line in the 2026 offseason. After all, it was much-needed after a season in which New York’s defense collected just 26 sacks. Between the trade market, free agency, and the NFL draft, the Jets aggressively overhauled their front seven, including the ...

2 league-wide NFL trends the NY Jets need to jump on
You hear it all the time: “The NFL is a copycat league.” And it’s true. Football is a unique sport in that it allows for such a vast range of strategies.

The potential cut candidates NY Jets should be in on
Following cut-down day, the waiver wire presents a perfect opportunity for NFL teams to shore up certain areas on their depth chart that they didn’t particularly address during the core of the offseason.

NY Jets film session: Has Jeremy Ruckert become a quality blocking TE?
Tight end has become one of the New York Jets’ deepest positions.

How the NY Jets can operate like a more efficient football team
“Process over results.” It’s one of the truest statements in sports. People tend to analyze teams and players based on outcomes, but the process itself is a better predictor of what’s to come in the future.

3 reasons why the NY Jets’ offense will improve in 2026
The New York Jets’ offense should certainly improve in 2026.

ESPN gives Jets’ offense surprisingly high ranking: Is it deserved?
Entering 2026, the New York Jets’ offense looks much different from a year ago.

NY Jets film session: Is Jowon Briggs a budding star DT?
When the New York Jets traded a sixth-for-seventh pick swap to acquire Jowon Briggs last August, they thought they were getting a solid rotational run-stuffer.

NY Jets film session: Does Arian Smith have a future?
As far as fourth-round picks go, Arian Smith was quite a polarizing choice when the New York Jets took him 110th overall in 2025.
