Updated 2026 New York Jets depth chart: Offense
The Jets made moves on offense and defense during free agency. But, did it make them better? A look at the current depth chart on offense.
The tidal wave that is the start of 2026 NFL Free Agency is officially over and now teams are sifting through what’s left to see if they can find help at discounted prices. The New York Jets , armed with over $75 million in cap space, went to work to fix a defense that couldn’t sack the quarterback and failed to intercept a pass last season. They also shored up the depth on their offensive line and brought an old friend back to Florham Park to be the team's starting quarterback.
How much better are the Jets today than they were at the start of last season? Where do they need to get stronger? Here is the updated New York Jets depth chart on offense as we get closer and closer to the NFL Draft in April: Quarterback Geno Smith, Bailey Zappe, Brady Cook The Verdict: Needs Improvement Smith makes his return to Florham Park after being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders.
His numbers have dipped over the past two seasons, but he remains a strong bridge quarterback for whoever the Jets draft this year or in 2027 to be the team's future at the position. The team still plans on adding a veteran quarterback to backup Smith, but the options are starting to dwindle. Tyrod Taylor remains an option to return and there has been reported interest in Tennessee Titans backup Will Levis.
Needless to say, there's still plenty of work that needs to be done and expect the Jets to add a veteran as well as select a young quarterback in April's draft. Running Back Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis, Kene Nwangwu The Verdict: Too Early to Tell The Jets put the franchise tag on Hall as they try to work out an extension. Either way, Hall will be a Jet in 2026, but the depth behind him is questionable at best.
