Name: Marquis Hayes

Number: 77

Year With Jets: 2nd

Projected Role: Depth guard

His 2025: The Jets signed Hayes before the start of training camp. He was waived on cutdown day, but the Jets signed him to the practice squad after he cleared waivers. Hayes earned a call up to the active roster late in the season but was not activated for any games.

2026 will be a success if: Hayes makes the team and plays functional football...

Through the summer, we will be counting down the Jets roster player by player. We continue the series by discussing Darrell Jackson Jr.

Name: Darrell Jackson Jr.

Number: 78

Projected Role: Depth defensive lineman

His 2025: Jackson’s final collegiate season at Florida State saw him record 45 tackles and 3 sacks. The Jets selected him in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

2026 will be a success if: Jackson can improve his technique and give the Jets a handful of quality snaps per game. There is a bit of a logjam along the interior...

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell recently penned an article about trade value for players across the NFL. He had the following estimations for Jets players.

One first-round pick and more: Edge David Bailey, WR Garrett Wilson. Both players came close to the two first-round pick category for me, but Bailey’s concerns holding up against the run might give teams that want to play with light boxes and ask more out of their edge defenders on early downs some pause. Wilson is coming off an injury-impacted 2025 and hasn’t had that truly great season that would launch him into the top tier...

Happy Saturday, Gang Green Nation.

We are less than two weeks from the start of training camp. Today’s articles include positional previews and speculation about which players could surprise this season.

There is also some talk about Jamal Adams wanting to return, which obviously isn’t going to happen.

Which Jets player are you expecting to outperform expectations this year?

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Multiple sources have recently speculated as to Garrett Wilson’s trade value and the possibility he might be traded. Wilson certainly has significant trade value. He also has not been shy in the past at expressing his displeasure with all the losing the Jets do on an annual basis. However, in 2027 the Jets will likely be drafting a quarterback they hope to develop into a long term starter at the position. Wilson is the only proven receiver currently on the roster. It would seem a poor decision to dump Wilson just when he will be...

Through the summer, we will be counting down the Jets roster player by player. We continue the series by discussing Chukwuma Okorafor.

Name: Chukwuma Okorafor

Number: 81

Year With Jets: 2nd

Projected Role: Swing tackle

His 2025: The Jets took a flyer on Okorafor in the offseason, signing him to a cheap deal when his stock was at an all-time low. His previous two seasons had not ended well.

Good morning Gang Green Nation! There is some good news for the Jets and Geno Smith today. Smith has been in the headlines recently for several run-ins with the police. The only serious allegations involved claims of battery against a Florida woman. We now get word that the police investigation into those allegations is inactive for lack of evidence against Smith. If you’re a tank commander or just really want to see Cade Klubnik in extended action this season this may not be good news. For those Jets fans who would like to see some modicum of success for the...

There were, however, extensive changes to the coaching staff. Both coordinators from 2025 along with several other high profile assistant coaches were let go.

Thus the coaching staff will have a new look in 2026. This week in our SB Nation Reacts survey we...
