Jets to Retain Aaron Glenn for 2026 as Season Ends 3-13 With Takeaway Drought

Jets ownership plans to retain Aaron Glenn in 2026 to steer quarterback evaluation alongside a defensive coordinator hire.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Woody Johnson will keep Glenn and GM Darren Mougey, with Glenn under contract at about $10 million per year for four more seasons.
  • The Jets enter Week 18 at 3-13 after an 0-7 start, averaging 272.4 yards and 18.3 points per game while allowing 348.4 yards and 29.3 points.
  • The defense has zero interceptions through 16 games and could become the first in NFL history to finish a season without one after Glenn dismissed DC Steve Wilks; interim Chris Harris is in place.
  • New York traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams in November, but holds substantial resources for a rebuild, including two first-round picks in 2026, additional early picks, and at least ~$70 million in cap room per ESPN.
  • Justin Fields is expected to depart, with reporting pointing to a wide-ranging quarterback search spanning veterans and draft prospects as analysts stress the roster needs extend far beyond one position.
