Jets' Five Free-Agent Bets for 2026
TL;DR Summary
As the NFL’s legal tampering window opens, the Jets’ five free-agent bets center on: (1) Carson Wentz emerging as the likely starting QB in 2026; (2) the biggest get being a defensive-back to shore up the pass defense; (3) stability on the offensive line with a likely re-signing of left guard John Simpson while Alijah Vera-Tucker potentially departs; (4) no splashy WR moves, instead mid-tier signings to deepen the receiver corps; and (5) adding multiple former Lions defenders under head coach Aaron Glenn to rebuild the defense.
