We have made it to June, which means two things. First, and most importantly, we have reached the dog days of the NFL offseason. Additionally, most rosters are complete.

Sure, there will be a few moves here and there, as evidenced by the New York Jets’ addition of Tim Patrick and the Irv Charles trade.

One area that sticks out on the Jets’ depth chart is their offensive line. After a promising 2025 season, the team kept most of its starting five intact. The only change was swapping John Simpson for Dylan Parham, which has a chance to be an upgrade for better value.

However, the hype surrounding the team’s starting five has distracted from the fact that New York has significant depth issues up front.

Entering 2026, the Jets’ interior offensive line depth is troubling.

Jets fans should be worried about the team’s IOL depth

Behind the team’s starters on the interior (Josh Myers, Dylan Parham, and Joe Tippmann), the Jets have four backups inside, including Xavier Newman, Anez Cooper, Landon Young, and Kohl Levao.

None of Newman, Cooper, Young, or Levao are proven commodities at the NFL level.

In 2025, Newman played just 31 total snaps, posting a rough 46.0 overall grade and an ugly 28.5 pass blocking grade from Pro Football Focus.

Cooper, a sixth-round rookie, possesses great size and length, giving him potential as a pass blocker. However, he is not a great mover and struggles with his pad level.

Levao has yet to take a regular-season snap.

Young is the only backup on the depth chart to have taken a significant amount of regular-season snaps. However, the results weren’t encouraging.

After not playing in a game last season, he played 880 snaps from 2021-24 with the New Orleans Saints, allowing eight sacks, three hits, 22 hurries, and 33 total pressures while committing five penalties.

Throughout his career, Young owns a 48.3 overall grade, a 57.3 run-blocking grade, and a 35.5 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus.

The glass-half-full approach is that IOL is an area where teams can add players after cutdown day, as there are typically many veteran interior options who get cut. If the Jets’ depth is as bad as it appears over the summer, that could be a very real possibility.

However, as it stands, an injury to the Jets’ interior offensive line would be detrimental to the team due to the lack of seasoned depth.
