The New York Jets are about to embark on another franchise-shaping quarterback search, and just like in the past, the possibilities span every corner of the NFL and the upcoming draft.
The Jets would love to land one of the top prospects in the 2026 draft — Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, Alabama’s Ty Simpson, or potentially Oregon’s Dante Moore — but the truth is that nothing about that landscape is guaranteed.
Players can return to school. Draft stocks can shift dramatically. And nobody knows yet whether the Jets will have a clear shot at the quarterback they actually want, even with five first-round picks over the next two years.
