Entering the 2026 NFL season, expectations for the New York Jets are low.
After going 3-14 and missing the playoffs for a 15th consecutive season in its first campaign under head coach Aaron Glenn, New York may not improve in 2026. As of Tuesday, DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Jets’ over/under total at 5.5 wins. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson, however, is a glass-half-full kind of person.
Garrett Wilson says Jets could surprise in 2026
Ahead of New York’s season opener against the Tennessee Titans (CBS, 1 p.m. ET), Wilson said it’s “very realistic” that the Jets make the playoffs this season, and the wideout believes it “should happen.”
Wilson, entering his fifth season in New York, acknowledged the Jets haven’t been a contender in years. New York hasn’t posted a winning record since 2015 and has had double-digit losses for six straight seasons. The WR said those losses motivated the squad to turn things around this offseason.
