Coming off a 3-14 season, the New York Jets made a plethora of roster moves to push the franchise is the right direction. Still, everything cannot be fixed in one offseason.

Here are three of the team’s biggest remaining roster holes that are flying under the radar.

Center

Josh Myers joined the Jets in 2025 on a one-year, $3.5 million contract to be the team’s backup center. After Alijah Vera-Tucker suffered a season-ending injury before the season, Myers stepped up as the starting center, with Joe Tippmann sliding over to Vera-Tucker’s spot.

Myers started all 17 games, but his level of play didn’t change from what the Jets expected. He played like the high-end backup/low-end starter that he is.

In December, the Jets gave Myers a two-year, $11 million contract extension, of which $6.2 million was guaranteed. It’s the type of money that puts an offensive lineman on the fence between a backup and a starter.

But the Jets seem content with Myers as their starter. They did not make any additions to the center position through the draft, the trade market, or free agency, leaving Myers as the clear-cut starter heading into training camp.

It’s a strange approach. A team that scored just 26 offensive touchdowns last season should have been looking to improve their offensive depth chart in any way possible. While the Jets’ offensive line appears to be a strength as a whole, the center position itself was one of the positions with the most room for improvement. Yet, the Jets left it alone.

Myers is the weak link on the Jets’ offensive line, and he could hold the unit back from becoming one of the league’s best groups.

Interior offensive line depth

Not only do the Jets have a low-end starter in the middle of their offensive interior, but the depth behind him is even worse relative to expectations.

The Jets’ backup interior offensive line is comprised of Xavier Newman, Marquis Hayes, Liam Fornadel, Kohl Levao, Anez Cooper, and Xavier Hill. They have combined for five NFL starts, all from Newman, who struggled mightily in those games.

If Myers goes down, things will go from bad to worse at center. If the Jets lose one of their starting guards, Dylan Parham or Joe Tippmann, there will be a drastic drop-off.

The only legitimate hope for the Jets in this area is that sixth-round rookie Anez Cooper turns out to be a steal, but as a sixth-round rookie, he probably won’t be ready to provide competent contributions in Year 1. Other than Cooper, there isn’t much upside to speak of.

New York’s offensive line depth did not have to be tested in 2025 since the opening-week starters played all 17 games. That is unlikely to happen again, and this time around, their lack of depth will be exposed.

Boundary CB

The Jets’ cornerback unit is deep, featuring plenty of players who are at least capable of competing for a starting spot.

However, the Jets’ issue at cornerback is a total lack of reliability. There are no players who can be comfortably labeled as an average starter at the very least. That is problematic at a position that can lose you a game faster than any position besides quarterback.

Brandon Stephens is an experienced starter, but that experience entails mostly failure; he allowed eight touchdowns to zero interceptions last season.

Azareye’h Thomas is a talented 21-year-old who showed flashes after being chosen in the third round last year, but he is coming off a shoulder injury and still has areas of his game that need development.

Nahshon Wright is a gifted takeaway artist, recording 10 combined interceptions, forced fumbles, and fumble recoveries in 2025, but he is a boom-or-bust corner who gives back plenty of yards and touchdowns in exchange for those big plays.

D’Angelo Ponds was a dominant boundary corner in college, but at 5-foot-8 with 29⅜-inch arms, he might be relegated to a slot role in the NFL.

The Jets don’t need all of these players to pan out. All that’s needed is for two of them to step up and prove worthy of a starting spot. And if things don’t go well early in the season, the Jets have enough depth to try different combinations throughout the year.

But until anybody in this unit strings together a few weeks of quality performances, it’s a high-risk group that has the Jets’ pass defense looking vulnerable.
