The New York Jets are closing out another season that’s been, frankly, hard to watch. At 3-12, with no Pro Bowl selections and an offense ranked near the bottom of the league, it’s been a year defined by disappointment-and not just on the scoreboard.
Let’s start with a stat that says a lot about where this franchise has been stuck for the better part of a decade: the Jets haven’t had a single offensive player selected to the Pro Bowl since Brandon Marshall in 2015. That’s ten straight seasons without a Pro Bowl nod on that side of the ball.
For a team that’s poured significant draft capital into the offense-13 first- and second-round picks during that span-that’s not just a drought. That’s a red flag waving in the wind.
This year, the Jets were completely shut out of the Pro Bowl again. And while that’s not shocking given their record, it still underlines how far this team has to go.
They’re 28th in the league in points per game, 30th in points allowed, and have yet to record a single interception under Aaron Glenn’s watch. That’s right-zero picks through 15 games.
If there’s any silver lining, it’s on special teams. Kicker Nick Folk has been lights out, leading the AFC in field goal percentage at 96.4%.
Isaiah Williams has been electric in the return game, taking two to the house, and punter Austin McNamara ranks third in the AFC in net average. But when your best Pro Bowl cases are your kicker, returner, and punter, it says a lot about where your roster stands.
Quarterback play? It’s been a revolving door of underwhelming performances.
Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook all got their chances, and none managed to take control of the offense. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that the Jets are expected to target a quarterback in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
They need a reset at the most important position in the game.
This season has also been marked by major organizational upheaval. The Jets started 0-7, traded away two of their biggest defensive stars in Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, benched Fields, and parted ways with defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. That’s not just a rough patch-it’s a full-blown reset in progress.
Head coach Aaron Glenn, trying to steady the ship, offered a message to fans: “It’s going to be a tough road. We knew that, but the thing is, we know exactly what we’re doing.
We have a plan. Just don’t let go of the rope.”
It’s a sentiment that speaks to long-term vision, but in the short term, the road doesn’t get any easier. The Jets wrap up their season with matchups against two AFC heavyweights: the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills. Given how this team has performed, it’s hard to envision a strong finish.
For Jets fans, this season has been another test of patience. But with a high draft pick looming and a front office seemingly committed to a rebuild, there’s hope that 2026 might finally bring the kind of progress this franchise has been chasing for far too long.
