Too many weapons? We’re talking about the New York Jets, right?

I never thought I’d see the day, yet here we are: Some in the media are citing the New York Jets’ gluttony of offensive weapons. This take comes courtesy of Matt Harmon of Yahoo Sports.

“There’s way too much skill-position talent for this offense to be a disaster. Plus they have two good bookend tackles.

But it’s the fact there’s a glut of guys that could be credible pass catchers on this Jets offense that kinda has me wondering; How many targets realistically can Sadiq and Cooper Jr. get this year?

There’s a real chance they’re the fourth and fifth most target players on this offense.”

Oh, the travesty. The Jets now employ the following weapons:

  • WR Garrett Wilson
  • WR Omar Cooper Jr.
  • WR Adonai Mitchell
  • TE Kenyon Sadiq
  • TE Mason Taylor
  • RB Breece Hall

How could the Jets possibly utilize these six playmakers with only five skill players on the field at any given time?

Options fit the modern NFL

Jokes aside, the Jets have finally given their fans an exciting, potential-filled offensive depth chart. Geno Smith needs to prove he still has something left in the tank. But he will, and whoever comes after him will be set up to succeed.

Along with some exciting young playmakers, the Jets have respectable depth. Running backs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, as well as tight end Jeremy Ruckert and wide receiver Isaiah Williams, have all flashed. Why do they need all these playmakers?

Last year, the Jets lost Garrett Wilson for 10 games, Taylor for 4, Josh Reynolds for 13, and Allen for 13. By the end of the season, they were throwing to Quentin Skinner and Stone Smartt.

Now, they’ll be seeing which players rise to the top, which mirrors what Jets fans have seen across the league.

Last year, the Chicago Bears didn’t settle for Cole Kmet or DJ Moore. They drafted Colston Loveland and Luther Burden.

From Week 9 on, they both averaged over four catches and 50 yards a game. This helped power the Bears to a 7-3 record over their last ten games. Loveland took it up a notch in the playoffs, raking in 12 receptions for 193 yards in two games.

Geno will enjoy playing behind a solid offensive line as well.

Offensive tackles Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou lead the way. Joe Tippmann leads the interior trio of Josh Myers and Dylan Parham. Rookie Anez Cooper will join Xavier Newman, Max Mitchell, and Chukwuma Okorafor as the depth.

The roster is ready to compete. Now, is the coaching staff ready to lead them?

Coaching is the wild card

Mougey has torn down and rebuilt the Jets roster in record time with various trades. Glenn is taking over the defense and has brought in veteran playcaller Frank Reich to lead the offense.

The Jets also traded for quarterback Geno Smith and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, and signed linebacker Demario Davis. These veterans will be Glenn’s voice in the locker room.

There are no more excuses. The staff and roster have been built to his vision.

The 2026 season will be an opportunity for head coach Aaron Glenn to prove he’s the man to turn the Jets around. Which brings us to our next unheard-of media statement concerning this organization: The Jets are too good?

Nick Kostos of You Better You Bet was adamant that people around the NFL are wrong when underrating the Jets.

“The roster is too good,” Kostos, proclaimed, “They have too many good players now.

“Now, it’s a good thing because you don’t want to suck every year. But it’s a bad thing because 2027 is the quarterback draft.”

Kostos does have a point.

With Geno soon to be 36 years old, the Jets’ future starts in 2027.

Kostos also referenced the Miami Dolphins offering four additional first-round picks, along with the fifth overall pick, to move to number one in 2020. The Cincinnati Bengals chose Joe Burrow instead, and the rest is history.

Thankfully, the Jets will have four chances to land a top draft pick and get their quarterback of the future. They possess the Indianapolis Colts pick, who lost their last seven games in 2025, and the higher pick from the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers.

Ideally, the Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys, or Green Bay Packers finish with the worst record in the NFL while Geno leads the Jets to the playoffs. Regardless, whoever they choose will enter the same good situation as Geno, if not better.

However, there are a few loose ends to address.

Two things still need to be addressed

The big question currently surrounds the potential extensions of running back Breece Hall and offensive lineman Joe Tippmann. The two key starters are set to become free agents after the season.

Breece Hall has been one of the most productive backs in the NFL with 4,359 scrimmage yards since 2023 (11th among running backs). He’s a quarterback’s best friend, thanks to his ability to take a screen pass to the house.

Meanwhile, Tippmann has been one of the best young interior offensive linemen. He had a strong 2025 season and offers versatility. However, it’s not quite that simple.

After the 2026 season, Hall will be 26 and will have eclipsed 2,000 career touches between the NFL and college.

Meanwhile, Tippmann and Parham are tied for the second most sacks allowed among interior offensive linemen the last two years (11). The interior in general is a concern, with Myers allowing the most pressures over that span with 57.

While the Jets traded up to draft Cade Klubnik, most expect their franchise quarterback to come in 2027. It would be a good idea for Mougey to ensure he’ll be playing with Hall and Tippmann.
