Jets' 2026 season outlook includes highs of 5-12 and lows of 2-15
Summary

The New York Jets enter the 2026 NFL season following a challenging 3-14 performance in 2025 under head coach Aaron Glenn. The team hopes to improve with three first-round draft picks, but uncertainties surrounding quarterback Geno Smith raise concerns about possible regression. Projections suggest a ceiling of 5-12 if improvements are seen, while a worst-case scenario could see the team finish at 2-15. The Jets aim to end their 15-season playoff drought as they approach the opening day.
