The New York Jetsunveiled their full 2026 regular-season schedule last week.

New York head coach Aaron Gienn embarks on his second campaign in charge of the East Rutherford-based club somewhat on the hot seat after a disappointing debut season. Glenn will have three first-round picks at his disposal.

There are some difficult quarterback matchups on the Jets' schedule. The 17-game slate is well-positioned for bold predictions.

Jets Wire made three risky proclamations about the Jets' 2026 schedule.

Cade Klubnik will start the Jets' final five games​


The Jets invested a fourth-round pick in rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik. They should give him some playing time before heading into the 2027 draft with three first-round picks. The Jets are scheduled for a Week 13 bye. Assuming they're not in playoff contention, which is probably fair given their rebuilding nature, Klubnik could replace Geno Smith for Weeks 14-18.

Garrett Wilson bounces back​


Perhaps this isn't a bold prediction, but Garrett Wilson is coming off an incredibly disappointing, injury-filled season. Wilson had 395 receiving yards in eight appearances in 2025. Expect the WR1 to get back to producing 1,000+ yards with Smith as his quarterback.

Breece Hall rushes for a career-high 1,125 yards​


The Jets recently signed Breece Hall to a lucrative multi-year contract extension. He figures to be the focal point of offensive coordinator Frank Reich's run-heavy offense. Hall rushed for a personal-best 1,065 yards last season, and he could one-up himself by rushing for 1,125 (or more) yards in 2026.
