The New York Jets are hoping to become an up-and-coming team in the NFL starting in 2026.
The front office led by general manager Darren Mougey did its best to improve the roster throughout the offseason...namely via the 2026 draft and free agency. Where did the team succeed the most?
Here are Jets Wire's three most improved position groups on the roster from the 2026 offseason:

The easiest and obvious here. Upon his return to New York, Geno Smith is a steady veteran under center. That's better than what the Jets had last season.
Cornerback
In adding a few veterans, the Jets' overall secondary has improved this offseason. In free agency, Nahshon Wright was signed and is poised to start...meanwhile, the trade acquisition of Minkah Fitzpatrick will likely see him start at nickel cornerback.
Wide receiver
This simply surrounds Omar Cooper Jr. The first-round rookie finally give the Jets offense a real threat across from Garrett Wilson. That has been lacking for years.
