New York Jets 2026 roster overhaul

Entities: Will McDonald · Darren Mougey · David Bailey · Aaron Glenn · New York Jets

Overview

In mid‑July 2026 the Jets focused on the quarterback backup situation, narrowing the race to Bailey Zappe and Cade Klubnik after rookie Brady Cook fell out, while retaining center Josh Myers despite poor performance and missing a free‑agent target.

A week later the team announced a sweeping roster overhaul for training camp, adding No. 2 overall pick edge rusher David Bailey and outlining multiple position battles across the defense and secondary, signaling a broader shift from addressing a single depth issue to reshaping the entire roster ahead of the upcoming season.
