The 2025 season is 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 hopes to improve upon their 5–12 record from the previous season, return to the playoffs for the first time since 2010, end the longest active playoff drought in American professional sports, and put an end to nine consecutive losing records. The Jets' 2–7 start is their worst since they also started 2–7 in 2021. 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 week in six seasons.

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.

Draft trades

1. 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. ^[1]
2. The Jets traded a 2024 fourth-round selection (126th overall) to the Detroit Lions in exchange for a third-round selection (92nd overall). ^[2]
3. The Jets traded WR Mike Williams to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a fifth-round selection (162nd overall). ^[3]
4. 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). ^[4]
