What happened: Jets head coach Aaron Glenn spoke about the team's decision to add kicker Jason Sanders and the kicking competition heading into the 2026 season. Glenn framed the move as opening a genuine competition for the job rather than handing it to anyone outright.

Why it matters: The comments follow the Jets' move to sign Jason Sanders and waive Younghoe Koo earlier this month. How the special-teams picture settles will shape one of the more quietly consequential roster questions of New York's offseason, since reliable kicking often swings a handful of close games.

What to watch: Watch how the competition plays out through training camp and the preseason, when the Jets will need to name a kicker before Week 1 of the 2026 season.
