Bold Darren Mougey Says Jets can be Competitive in 2026

Jets fans might be fixated on the fact that Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn just oversaw one of the worst seasons in team history with a 3-13 record, but Mougey has a message for Jets fans. Asked when his club might be competitive again, Mougey said he can see the Jets being respectable “next year”.

Of course at this point in time it’s purely GM speak that was reminiscent of Aaron Glenn’s introductory presser when he told fans to get ready to win “right away”. But Mougey’s job is to sell the fans on whatever the Jets do moving forward, and hopefully keep season ticket sales up while he tries to find a way to win games.
