Jets have had NFL's most valuable free agency so far according to PFF

The New York Jets came into the 2026 offseason with a lot of question marks about their future. Aaron Glenn is seemingly on the hot seat, and the team needed to revamp the defense and find a new starting quarterback.

So far this offseason, they've done just that. Darren Mougey and the Jets have added a ton of talent to this roster, including Geno Smith at quarterback and a few big additions on the defensive side of the ball.

After all of those offseason additions through the first week of the new league year, Mason Cameron of PFF.com shared that, according to PFF WAR, the Jets' offseason has been the most valuable in the entire NFL so far. 

Jets have had NFL's most valuable free agency

"Geno Smith pushes the Jets into the top spot: Quarterbacks surpass all other positions in PFF WAR, hence why Smith's 0.82 mark - plus the additions of several other players - gives New York the edge over the other 31 teams this offseason," Cameron writes.

The Jets' "PFF WAR Added" this offseason is the most in the NFL at 1.99. The Indianapolis Colts at 1.85 are second, while the Tennessee Titans at third are at 1.75, and the Atlanta Falcons in fourth are 1.58 PFF WAR Added.

Smith's addition to the offense was a big one, and it's made even better with how cheap he was to acquire. But he's not the only reason why this offseason has been great for the Jets.

This offseason, the Jets have added Joseph Ossai, Demario Davis, Kingsley Enagbare, Nahshon Wright, Dylan Parham, David Onyemata, Dane Belton, Andrew Beck, Max Mitchell, Cade York, and Xavier Newman-Johnson in free agency.

But that's not all. Along with Smith, the Jets have traded for two key defenders: All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for a late-round pick, and nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat for Jermaine Johnson.

All of these massive additions have led to a completely overhauled defense, a bolstered offense, and, at the end of the first week of free agency and the new league year, the most valuable offseason class of any team by PFF WAR.

It's been a great offseason for the Jets so far, and with four picks inside the top-45 and plenty more cap space, there could be a lot more value added to this roster in the coming weeks and months before the 2026 season gets underway.
