Two Navy jets collided during the Gunfighter Skies Air Show near Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho; four crew members ejected safely, responders arrived, the base was locked down, and investigators are examining the incident.
New York Jets critics, including coach Aaron Glenn and NY Post columnist Brian Costello, contend the 2026 schedule is unfriendly to the team, reviving a belief that the league owes the Jets one after 2023’s primetime chaos, and point to two main gripes with how the slate was arranged.
An opinion piece that argues NFL schedules are famously unpredictable and lays out a week-by-week forecast for the New York Jets’ 2026 season, highlighting potential upsets and gritty wins, ultimately projecting a 7-10 finish with nuanced reasoning for each game's outcome.
The Jets’ 2026 NFL schedule has been released and Vegas projects it as one of the league’s easier slates. The 18-week schedule includes a Week 13 bye and 17 games, with road-heavy opens and notable matchups against the Packers, Chiefs, Bills, Chargers, Dolphins, and Vikings, plus a late stretch that could determine whether New York finishes above .500; the piece also offers quick takes on each game and notes coaching links (Aaron Glenn and Lions coach Dan Campbell) as context for several matchups.
The Jets’ 2026 schedule reportedly starts with a Week 1 road game in Nashville against the Tennessee Titans, reuniting with former Jets coach Robert Saleh and featuring several ex-Jets on Tennessee’s staff and roster; the Titans are viewed as a potential playoff contender with Cam Ward at quarterback and a defense led by David Bailey as they look to rebound from a 3-14 season.
Astronomers directly measured the instantaneous power of jets from the Cygnus X-1 black hole binary—nearly 10,000 suns—while jets travel at about 0.5c and bend under the donor star’s wind, based on 18 years of high-resolution radio observations; the real-time jet-power measurement improves understanding of black-hole feedback and its influence on galaxy-scale environments.
Jets rookie Cade Klubnik has shown strong early signs at rookie minicamp, including accurate throws and leadership, fueling optimism that he could contend for the QB2 role behind Geno Smith, though the sample size is small and preseason will determine his real role.
Jets fans are buying Cade Klubnik hype after minicamp buzz, citing (1) a franchise history of late‑round QB breakthroughs as motivation, (2) Klubnik's high‑ceiling tools—mobility, escapability, and deep passing—and (3) a supportive Jets environment with Geno Smith and a strong young offense designed to develop a QB rather than rush him.
Former Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik, a surprise fourth-round pick for the Jets after a 2025 season marred by injuries and underwhelming results, showed leadership at rookie minicamp and remains confident he can earn the Jets’ starting job behind Geno Smith with strong showings in the offseason program, training camp, and preseason.
Jets rookie minicamp offered a taste of a new offense under Frank Reich with Cade Klubnik taking most QB reps and learning to operate within configured buckets, while edge rusher David Bailey showed versatility to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 and defensive end in a 4-3 alongside Will McDonald. The team is weighing veteran QB options (including Russell Wilson) but has not committed, and other highlights included D’Angelo Ponds’ early impressions, a kicking competition among Krieg, Ferrin and York, and various tryouts and non-rookie veterans in attendance.
Jets coach Aaron Glenn downplayed Bailey’s run-defense concerns and outlined a plan to use the Stanford product as a versatile defender—outside linebacker in base packages and defensive end in four-down sub-packages—potentially pairing him with Will McDonald. Bailey, who starred at Texas Tech with 14.5 sacks, 19.5 tackles for loss and 10 forced fumbles, is focused on improving both run defense and the pass rush as he enters rookie minicamp and the Jets’ evolving defensive scheme.
Jets running back Breece Hall agreed to a three-year, $45.75 million contract with $29 million guaranteed, keeping him in New York after using the franchise tag for 2026; he had 1,065 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns last season and added 36 receptions, with the deal positioning him behind only Barkley and McCaffrey in RB average value as Frank Reich aims to restore Hall’s receiving role and other tagged players like George Pickens and Kyle Pitts also have 2026 contracts.
Wilson confirmed the Jets have offered him a role and he’s weighing it against possible TV work as he considers returning as Geno Smith’s backup.
Free-agent QB Russell Wilson is reportedly in deep discussions to join CBS as a TV talent, with CBS seen as the favorite after Matt Ryan departed their studio. He recently visited the Jets and could base in New York if offered a role, potentially transitioning from playing to broadcasting as his NFL playing days wind down; CBS is also eyeing ex-players like Luke Kuechly for on-air roles.
New York could add Texas Tech transfer Brendan Sorsby as a top arm in the NFL’s rarely used supplemental draft, betting on his arm talent despite an NCAA gambling investigation that could affect his eligibility.
