The 2025 season was the New York Jets' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall and their first under general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn. This season began with the team's fourth head coach in eight seasons.

The team failed to improve their 5–12 record from the previous season following a 29–6 blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 16, failed to match it after another 42–10 blowout loss to their division rival New England Patriots the following week, and instead went 3-14 for their worst season since 2020. The Jets were the last winless team in the NFL, losing their first seven games before earning their first victory against the Cincinnati Bengals. This season began with the team's fifth quarterback starting on opening day in six seasons. The Jets clinched their 10th consecutive losing season after a 23–10 loss on the road to the Baltimore Ravens, while also clinching the franchise's sixth consecutive season with ten losses or more. They also missed the playoffs for the 15th straight year and got swept by their division rivals for the third time in six seasons. The Jets forced a mere 4 opponent turnovers in the entire season, the lowest of any NFL team since the AFL-NFL merger, breaking the previous record of 7 set by the 2018 San Francisco 49ers. ^[1] The Jets also became infamous as the first team in NFL history to not record an interception in an entire season since the NFL began tracking them in 1933, as all four of their forced turnovers were fumble recoveries. ^[2]

On November 4, 2025, the Jets traded away All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts and All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys for multiple first and second round selections.

For the first time since 2021, not a single Jet made the Pro Bowl.

Draft trades

1. New York will receive the earlier of Dallas' or Green Bay's selections
2. The Jets traded a conditional third-round selection (92nd overall) to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for WR Davante Adams. The condition – that Las Vegas would receive a second-round pick in 2025 if Adams was named to the 2024 All-Pro Team during the 2024 NFL season or the Jets reached the AFC Championship Game or Super Bowl LIX with Adams on the active roster – was not met when the Jets missed the 2024-25 NFL playoffs and Adams was not named to the 2024 All-Pro Team. Had any of the conditions converted, the Raiders would have received a second-round selection (42nd overall) instead. ^[3]
3. The Jets traded a 2024 fourth-round selection (126th overall) to the Detroit Lions in exchange for a third-round selection (92nd overall). ^[4]
4. The Jets traded WR Mike Williams to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a fifth-round selection (162nd overall). ^[5]
5. The Jets traded a seventh-round selection (225th overall) and WR Mecole Hardman to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a sixth-round selection (207th overall). ^[6]

The Jets finished with −10 net passing yards, setting a franchise record for the fewest in a single game. It was also the lowest total by any NFL team since the San Diego Chargers recorded −19 passing yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in 1998. ^{[12] [13]}
