The New York Jets have rebuilt the pass-rush support around defensive end Will McDonald IV as they head into the 2026 season. New York selected EDGE David Bailey No. 2 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft and also signed veterans Joseph Ossai and Kingsley Enagbare in free agency, aiming to improve the production environment around McDonald. He finished last season with eight sacks, while the Jets’ next-best sack total came from DT Jowon Briggs with 4.0. The Jets ranked 31st in sacks with 20.0. With new defensive coordinator Brian Duker and Aaron Glenn calling plays, McDonald is on track for another 8+ sack run and could even reach double digits again after his career-best 10.5 in 2024. New York holds his fifth-year option through 2027.
