Moore Returns to Oregon, Upending Jets' No. 2 Draft Plan
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore announced he will return for the 2026 season, likely taking him off the Jets’ radar for the No. 2 pick and forcing New York to reconsider its draft strategy. Analysts noted Moore’s limited college experience and NIL incentives as reasons to stay in school, while Boomer Esiason said the Jets “lucked out” by his return and suggested the team might trade down or pivot to other assets to build around a potential rookie in a different year.
