Looking Ahead: New York Jets Playoff Picture
The Jets playoff chances rides on new QB Aaron Rodgers and the return of much of their No. 2 overall defense from 2022. Should new weapons from Rodgers' Packers days Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb gel as expected, the Jets should fare better on offense, where they ranked No. 29 in the NFL last season. The Jets also signed Super Bowl winner Mecole Hardman Jr. to join Rodgers. Plus, they still have 2022 Offensive Rookie of the Year Garrett Wilson. Needless to say, the entirety of the Jets' success this season hinges on offense. Enter Nathanial Hackett. Hackett, who previously coached Rodgers as the Packers offensive coordinator, is known as an offensive genius.
The Jets return much of their second ranked defense from last season, added safety Chuck Clark, and will continue to be dominant behind the likes of defensive end Carl Lawson, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, and 2022 Defensive Rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner.
The division is tough with the Bills and Dolphins both eyeing Super Bowls. You can never count out the Patriots or head coach Bill Belicheck. The AFC East is the best division in the NFL this season, and the Jets will have six tough division games this season. Should they go at least 3-3 in those games, they should be able to have enough wins throughout the year to make the playoffs and make a run towards a Super Bowl.
Do the Jets Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?

In an offseason where they were able to acquire a Super Bowl champion quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, additional offensive weapons, and able to hold together much of their strong defense, anything less than a playoff run would likely be a major letdown.
NY sportsbooks are expecting the Jets to live up to the hype with a 60% chance to make the playoffs.
Are the Jets Out of Playoff Contention?
No, the Jets are not out of playoff race because the season hasn't kicked off. No team is out of contention for the playoffs just yet. However, it should be expected that the New York Jets will be in playoffs with the additions of Aaron Rodgers and their stout defense from last season returning. The only thing standing in their way are division rival Bills and Dolphins, who both return fantastic rosters.
