​The New York Jets are hoping for a bounce-back campaign in 2026.In 2025, the Jets started the year on a seven-game losing streak. After winning three of their next five, they dropped each of their final five games in which they were outscored,188-54, to end with a miserable 3-14 mark in the first year of the Aaron Glenn-Darren Mougey era.While Geno Smith has his flaws, the veteran signal caller is at least a slight upgrade at the position over Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor and Brady Cook from last season.How much? Time will only tell with recently named backup QB in rookie Cade Klubnik likely seeing the field at some time this season regardless of how well Smith plays.Will the Jets show signs of improvement in 2026? Or is another down season on the horizon with Glenn and Mougey fighting to save their jobs?Our NFL prognosticators are: Art Stapleton (Giants/NFL writer, NorthJersey.com), Bert Bainbridge (sports trending reporter/columnist, NorthJersey.com), Brian Marron (digital producer, NorthJersey.com), Chris Iseman (Rutgers writer, NorthJersey.com), Mike Dougherty (sports writer, lohud.com), Bob Jordan (sports editor, Asbury Park Press/APP.com) and Dave Rivera (sports editor, USA TODAY Northeast/NorthJersey.com).Here are our predictions for what record the Jets will have at the conclusion of the 2026 season:Bert BainbridgeJets record: 6-11A three-win improvement in 2026 might be enough for Glenn and Mougey to keep their jobs, but time will tell next offseason ahead of a projected loaded 2027 QB class that the Jets will use one of their three first round picks to draft or package a deal together to move up to land their franchise quarterback of the future.Art StapletonJets record: 6-11The Jets double their win total in Aaron Glenn’s second season, but will that be enough to save his job? The quest to find a franchise quarterback continues in 2027.Brian MarronJets record: 6-11The addition of Geno Smith at least raises the floor of the Jets’ offense, which experience horrendous quarterback play last season. That should allow the Jets to win a few extra games than they did last season, but will it be enough to save Aaron Glenn’s job? That may depend on the eye-test and how close they can keep games against the better teams on the schedule.Mike DoughertyJets record: 5-12Geno Smith is an upgrade, but only because Justin Fields, Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson only added to the frustraion. Do the Jets faithful even want to see a Smith renaissance with so many quarterbacks available in the next draft class? Smith is a spare tire quarterback who gets the Jets a little further down the road. Chris IsemanJets record: 6-11I do think the Jets will make some progress this year, but it’s tough to see that progress being substantial. The talent level just isn’t there yet. Bob JordanJets record: 5-12Out of sight, out of mind? There are no primetime games for the Jets for the first time since 2007.Dave RiveraJets record: 5-12It’s not saying much that the Jets will
