## 2026 Outlook

Cade Klubnik joined the Jets as the 5th QB drafted in what scouts described as a weak 2026 class. Early reports from minicamp and OTAs indicate he's ahead of schedule for a rookie—originally, the Jets considered adding a veteran backup to support starter Geno Smith, but Klubnik impressed enough to become the favorite to enter the season as the #2 on the depth chart. The Jets are a rebuilding organization likely to target a top-tier QB prospect in 2027, but Klubnik will have an opportunity to play if the team falls out of contention late in the season.
