2026 New York Jets Season Preview: Ratings, Roster & Odds

The Jets tied for the worst record in the NFL at 3-14 and Aaron Glenn responded by blowing it up. He replaced 12 of 22 assistants, brought in 64-year-old Frank Reich to call plays and Brian Duker to run the defense, and shipped out Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, and Justin Fields. We dig into the Geno Smith signing, the three-first-round draft haul of David Bailey, Kenyon Sadiq, and Omar Cooper Jr., the Breece Hall extension, and the league-best special teams unit that just lost its kicker. Plus the betting angles: a 5.5-win total and +1900 division odds. 0:00 - Jets up next and hating the Aaron Glenn era 2:24 - Last year's historically bad Jets tape 5:51 - Backup-QB wins and the ugly beatdowns 8:46 - Running it back: 12 of 22 assistants replaced 10:11 - Darren Mougey, Woody Johnson and no positive arc 12:10 - No false hope, the QB room and the draft picks 14:42 - Receivers, David Bailey, Sadiq and the rookies 17:37 - Confusing defensive spending and the losses 20:14 - A veteran-heavy rebuild and the depth chart 21:51 - Ratings begin: Geno Smith and Frank Reich 25:08 - Why the Frank Reich hire is so limiting 26:39 - Skill group: upside but thin this year 27:41 - The offensive line and the Brady Cook problem 30:58 - Coaching grades and the defense ratings 34:30 - Special teams and the power number 35:57 - More upside than Miami, and why 36:58 - Schedule: buried at 1 p.m. with four favored games 39:17 - The turf-versus-grass trivia detour 41:46 - Eleven likely losses and the win-total math 44:05 - First-coach-fired odds on Aaron Glenn 46:15 - Award futures and the Shough longshot memory 49:58 - Outro: Geno as starter and a Bills-Pats tease New team every episode as we preview all 32 for 2026.
