Our PRESEASON WATCH LIST heads to New York, where the Jets enter 2026 with a veteran QB holding down the fort, a star RB poised for heavy usage, and a receiving corps still searching for a true running mate alongside their elite WR1.
The QB storyline: Geno Smith as the starter is fine — but will the Jets win too much to draft a franchise QB next year. Bloom and Cecil dig into the roster strength, the coaching stability, and how Geno's competence could push New York into that awkward middle tier: competitive enough to stay afloat, but not bad enough to reset the position.
Then the backfield identity: Will the Jets run the ball early and often with Breece Hall. Bloom breaks down Hall's efficiency, his explosive-play rate, and how the Jets may lean on him as the centerpiece of the offense — especially if the passing game remains inconsistent.
And the WR question that matters most: Who is going to help Garrett Wilson in the receiving corps. Bloom and Cecil explore the depth chart, the young players pushing for snaps, and whether anyone can emerge as a reliable No. 2 option to keep defenses honest.
The Jets have stability, star power, and major questions about long‑term direction — and this episode hits every angle.
