Key Contributors Toward Jets Playoff Chances

The New York Jets are looking to rebuild after finishing the 2024-25 season third in the AFC East and unable to clinch a playoff spot. The success of New York all starts with new coach Aaron Glenn and quarterback Justin Fields. Fields has a lot of weapons around him, so he has a chance to excel and make the Jets' offense better than last season. 

We expect the Jets' defense to be once again one of the best in the league. Steve Wilks takes over as the new defensive coordinator, and New York has spent much of free agency signing defensive talent to join Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams. New York also added skilled players on both sides of the ball in the draft, selecting OT Armand Membou, TE Mason Taylor, and CB Azareye'h Thomas, to name a few.

Looking Ahead: New York Jets Playoff Picture

The Jets will try to make the 2025 playoffs after missing out on the playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons, the longest active streak in the NFL. Now the Jets start their rebuild with a new coaching staff and quarterback. Justin Fields will be leading the offense, which will consist of RB Breece Hall, WR Garrett Wilson, WR Allen Lazard, and WR Tyler Johnson. 

Defensively, DT Quinnen Williams and CB Sauce Gardner will continue to lead the way with new additions Derrick Nnadi, Rashad Weaver, Isaiah Oliver, and Kris Boyd, to name a few. The Jets' defense is going to be a major strength of the team, once again. New York is expected to have a more effective offense, and if they deliver, it could be enough to take the Jets to the postseason.

The Jets' chances of making the playoffs in the 2025-26 season are 17.4%. New York has not made the playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons. We expect the Jets' chances of making the playoffs to remain slim, unless they surprise us all and start the season strong.
