Link to storyNew York Jets general manager Darren Moughey announced that RB Breece Hall will be tagged if the team cannot reach an extension with him by the tag deadline of March 3.
Link to storyNew York Jets RB Breece Hall would ideally be a candidate for a contract extension by the team, in the opinion of ESPN's Rich Cimini on Monday, Feb. 23.
Link to storyNew York Jets impending free-agents S Tony Adams and DE Micheal Clemons are both predicted to move on, according to beat writer Rich Cimini. Adams made 36 starts over four years, but the team is expected to reset at safety. Meanwhile, ill-timed penalties and lapses on defense likely mean Clemons will not be brought back.
Link to storyFree-agent S Andre Cisco (Jets) is unlikely to return, as beat writer Rich Cimini indicates the team needs a reset at safety. He played 2025 on a one-year, $8.5 million deal, and he missed nine games due to a torn pectoral muscle which required surgery.

New York Jets impending free-agent PK Nick Folk was the most consistent player for the team in 2025, knocking through 28-of-29 field-goal attempts. He is 41 years old, and said at the end of the season that he would meet with his family before deciding his future. At $2.9 million in 2025, he was a steal.

Free-agent QB Tyrod Taylor (Jets), who had his contract officially voided Friday, Feb. 20, was told by the team that they were interested in a return in 2026 prior to the new system being implemented. Now, with new offensive coordinator Frank Reich, the team is expected to prioritize other quarterbacks in free agency and in potential trades. The 37-year-old journeyman is not expected to be back.

Free-agent LB Quincy Williams (Jets) recorded a career-high 3.5 sacks in 2025 despite missing four games due to a shoulder injury. He is entering his age-30 season, and, according to beat writer Rich Cimini, it feels like a situation both sides are looking for a fresh start. Technically, his contract was voided this past Friday, Feb. 20.

New York Jets impending free-agent OG Alijah Vera-Tucker (triceps) missed the 2025 due to a torn triceps in his left arm. He has played 43 of 85 games across five NFL seasons, and his lack of durability clouds his future with the team. The team has four starting offensive linemen under contract, and they'd be interested in running it back with Vera-Tucker at the right price. One agent who doesn't represent him speculated Vera-Tucker could still fetch $13 million per year on a multi-year contract, while another suggested a one-year prove-it deal.
Link to storyNew York Jets impending free-agent RB Breece Hall could have the transition tag applied to him this offseason, which would be worth approximately $11.7 million, according to multiple league sources. However, no final decision has been made by the Jets, who could also decide to use the franchise tag on Hall or sign him to a long-term contract extension.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight ends coach Alfredo Roberts is being hired by the New York Jets as their new tight ends coach, according to a source.
Link to storyFormer New York Jets defensive line coach Karl Dunbar was hired by the New York Jets Wednesday, Feb. 4, as their new defensive line coach.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett could be a potential trade target for the New York Jets. Brissett played for offensive coordinator Frank Reich when he was the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: The Jets have Justin Fields as their top quarterback entering the 2026 season, and that's not good enough. Brissett could steady the ship for the Jets offense and at least give them a fighting chance. |

Former Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich was hired by the New York Jets as offensive coordinator Wednesday, Feb. 4.
| Footballguys view: Reich has his work cut out for him with the Jets. The quarterback situation is a mess, and a centerpiece of their offense (Breece Hall) is a free agent. Reich will see what he can do with an underwhelming roster on offense and a head coach in Aaron Glenn who begins 2026 firmly on the hot seat. We'll be curious to see if Reich can be part of the staff that changes the culture with this losing team. |
Stanford senior advisor Frank Reich, who served as the team's interim head coach in 2025, interviewed for the offensive coordinator position with the New York Jets on Tuesday, Feb. 3.
Link to storyNew York Jets impending free-agent RB Breece Hall may be a candidate for either the franchise tag or transition tag this offseason if the two sides are not able to reach an agreement on a new contract, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.
| Footballguys view: Hall is arguably the best running back available in free agency this offseason. We could see several teams vying for his services if the Jets don't tag him. A franchise tag has a projected value at $14.1 million for a one-year deal. The Jets could tag him and then get until mid-July to work out a long-term contract. If they lose Hall in free agency, the Jets would be searching for a new lead back (among many other things). |
Miami Dolphins pass game coordinator Brian Duker was hired by the New York Jets as defensive coordinator Wednesday, Jan. 28.
| Footballguys view: Not many were expecting this move. Duker did work with Jets head coach Aaron Glenn when both coached with the Lions from 2021 to 2023. The Jets defense was terrible in 2025, becoming the first team in NFL history to not snare an interception. Duker has his work cut out for him. |
Former NFL coach Jon Gruden reportedly turned down a chance to join the coaching staff of the New York Jets. The report did not indicate what his potential role would have been on head coach Aaron Glenn's staff.

New York Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand and the team are parting ways on Tuesday, Jan. 27.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, reports in recent days indicated the Jets were working to hire former Colts and Panthers head coach Frank Reich to join the offensive staff, though not necessarily as offensive coordinator, as Engstrand occupied that role. The situation has now changed. Though Reich was set to join the Jets, New York will now have to be Rooney Rule-compliant if they want to hire Reich as the club's offensive coordinator. It stands to reason that will be the case, as Reich was reportedly set to call plays for New York with Engstrand's title remaining the same. |

Link to storyNew York Jets WR Isaiah Williams posted team highs with five receptions and 24 yards on seven targets in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, while posting five kick returns for 142 yards.
| Footballguys view: Williams was signed from the Bengals practice squad in Week 2, was waived to the practice squad by the Jets after fumbling in Week 4, but returned in Week 6 and ended up being the team's MVP. That's the kind of season it was for the Jets. |

New York Jets QB Brady Cook completed 11-of-22 passes for 60 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, while adding three runs for seven yards.
| Footballguys view: Cook has looked overwhelmed, albeit in an offense that has been one of the league's worst all season. The Jets will bring in at least two quarterbacks via free agency or the draft this offseason. |

New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell enters Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills with 301 receiving yards on 24 receptions in seven games since coming over from the Indianapolis Colts.

New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (concussion) will not play in the Week 18 game, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
Link to storyNew York Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) won't play in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills.
| Footballguys view: Taylor hasn't played since suffering this neck injury in Week 14. There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about his long-term outlook, and he's a player worth acquiring in dynasty leagues. His rookie season, however, is over. |
