Overview

  • At the end-of-season news conference, GM Darren Mougey said the team will “exhaust every option” — free agency, trades, and the draft — to address quarterback.
  • The Jets own the No. 2 pick in 2026, positioning them for Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza or potentially Oregon’s Dante Moore if he declares.
  • Reporting indicates Justin Fields is expected to depart after one season, with a post–June 1 designation projected to save $10 million on the cap.
  • Team leaders point to improved offensive-line pieces, Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, plus significant cap space and extra draft capital as support for a young passer.
  • After a 3-14 season with zero interceptions and five straight losses by 23-plus points, DC Steve Wilks was fired and broader coaching and roster evaluations are underway.
