At the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese said he envisions an edge/OLB role in the NFL and wants to rush the passer, signaling top-draft potential and interest from the Jets after meeting with them; he credits coaches Patricia and Laurinaitis for development and notes his versatility could fit multiple defensive schemes, echoing comparisons to Micah Parsons.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn will personally call the defense this season, saying play-calling is his superpower. The move comes as the team overhauls its staff after finishing last in points allowed and going a season without an interception; with Frank Reich as offensive coordinator and Brian Duker as defensive coordinator, Glenn aims to lift the defense and change the Jets’ fortunes in 2026.
Ohio State versatile defender Arvell Reese will work out at the NFL Scouting Combine as both an edge rusher and a linebacker, and plans to run the 40-yard dash. He has begun meeting with teams, including the New York Jets, who own the second overall pick and could view him as a key piece in a defensive rebuild.
The Jets appear set to keep running back Breece Hall for next season, either via re-signing him or using the franchise tag, a development that dampens the Chiefs’ and other teams’ plans for a top RB and anchors the Jets’ backfield, with additional NFL Combine notes and related headlines included in the roundup.
The Kansas City Chiefs hoped to upgrade their running game by signing free-agent Breece Hall, but Jets GM Darren Mougey indicated Hall will stay with the Jets next season (likely via extension or franchise tag), forcing the Chiefs to pivot to other options like Kenneth Walker III, Travis Etienne, or the Notre Dame prospect Jeremiyah Love, each with trade-offs across cost, fit, or draft need.
NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks unveils his second 2026 first-round mock ahead of the NFL Scouting Combine, projecting the Jets to add a premier edge rusher (with a wide receiver addition later) and the Rams to double-dip at cornerback, as the rest of the board features a mix of linemen, playmakers and defensive pieces for a wide-open 2026 draft.
The Jets may apply the transition tag to running back Breece Hall as a hedge against free agency. The tag would cost roughly $11.5–$11.9 million for 2026, guarantees the year if accepted, and lets New York match any offer sheet without paying compensation unless they choose not to match. It can serve as a placeholder while market offers come in; if Hall signs elsewhere, the Jets wouldn’t incur compensatory picks. A franchise tag would be pricier (around $14.5 million), and a tag-and-trade remains a possibility if the Jets decide to pay Hall for another year.
Jets running back Breece Hall says his 2025 production—1,065 rushing yards on 243 carries—will justify his next contract, whether with the Jets via a transition/franchise tag or with another team, as he focuses on the present and lets his agent handle negotiations.
As the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine approaches, consensus mock drafts for the Jets swing between major targets, with Ohio State linebacker/edge rusher Arvell Reese rising to about 80% to go No. 2 and Clemson DT Peter Woods emerging as the pick for New York’s second first-round slot, reflecting the team’s broad needs and the evolving evaluation of prospects.
Daniel Jeremiah’s three-round 2026 NFL mock draft has the New York Jets drafting Arvell Reese (LB/EDGE) at No. 2 and Ty Simpson (Alabama) at No. 16 (via Indianapolis) in Round 1, giving them an impact defender and a potential starting quarterback. The mock also has Fernando Mendoza going No. 1 to the Raiders, with five QBs in the class but only two going in the first round, and features multiple trades and a heavy emphasis on edge rushers, blockers and receivers early.
Jets defensive tackle Harrison Phillips says a years-long losing streak has fostered a 'cancerous' mindset in the organization, warning against the 'same old Jets' narrative; he urged teammates to focus on the long game and personal accountability as the team builds toward sustained success.
Jets hire Frank Reich to run the offense and are eyeing veteran free agents—Jacoby Brissett at QB, Alec Pierce at WR, Kenneth Gainwell and Rico Dowdle at RB, and Isaac Seumalo on the line—who fit his scheme and past connections as they pursue quick roster acclimation.
Astronomers monitoring the tidal disruption event AT2018hyz (Jetty McJetface) report its jet-driven radio emission has brightened ~50× since discovery and could peak in 2027, suggesting delayed outflows are more common in high-energy TDEs than previously thought.
The New York Jets hired Frank Reich as offensive coordinator, tapping a veteran NFL coach whose résumé includes guiding the Eagles to a Super Bowl win and leading the Colts and Panthers as a head coach, with the aim of shaping a more productive Jets offense under head coach Aaron Glenn.
The Jets have officially hired Frank Reich as their offensive coordinator to call plays under head coach Aaron Glenn, following the dismissal of Tanner Engstrand. Reich brings extensive NFL and college coaching experience, including OC roles with the Eagles and Chargers and head coaching stints with the Colts and Panthers, plus a former Jets quarterback stint. With Reich in place, the Jets will refine their offseason plan and quarterback options beyond Justin Fields, who remains under contract.
