The New York Jets are focusing on size and strength during the 2026 NFL offseason, following a disappointing 3-14 campaign in 2025. Coach Aaron Glenn and General Manager Darren Mougey aim to enhance the team's defense by acquiring physically imposing players. The Jets traded EDGE Jermaine Johnson II for nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat, who weighs over 360 pounds, to improve run defense. The team also drafted 315-pound rookie Darrell Jackson Jr. and aims to reunite with linebacker Demario Davis. The Jets are implementing a 3-4 defense to become a tougher opponent in 2026.
