Pro Football Focus named the biggest roster decision all 32 NFL teams must make during the ongoing offseason.
For the New York Jets, it's not a surprising selection.
As has often been the case, sorting out the quarterback position in New York has been a tough cookie to crack for years. While the Jets do enter the 2026 NFL draft with two first-round selections, the quarterback class in this year's draft is light at the top.
Whether it's at some point in the draft or prior to it during free agency, the Jets must figure something out as the Justin Fields experiment did not work last season.

New York Jets: How to solve the quarterback dilemma
The Jets’ decades-long woes may not be alleviated much this offseason. After overhauling almost the entirety of the team’s coaching staff, Aaron Glenn still needs to address his options under center — where there are scant good ones.
New York tried giving Justin Fields a shot in 2025, but he didn’t produce at the level of his $40 million contract with a 65.5 PFF passing grade. Other in-house candidates to start include 36-year-old Tyrod Taylor and second-year Brady Cook, each of whom finished below a 58.0 PFF passing grade.
Even though the Jets own the second overall pick, they almost certainly will not take a quarterback then based on this year’s class. Could New York instead draft someone like Ty Simpson at No. 16 overall? Or, could the team try to pursue the likes of Malik Willis, Kirk Cousins, Kyler Murray or Tua Tagovailoa on the market?
