The New York Jets finished with exactly zero interceptions in 2025.
Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
New York head coach Aaron Glenn wasn’t happy with that output, almost taking the lack of production personally after he literally made his name off turning the ball over during his playing career – with the second-year head coach going as far as to commandeer defensive play-calling duties.

"When there's an issue on defense, I can quickly fix it, because I know the defense like the back of my hand. And that feels really, really good," Glenn said in July. "To be able to coach everybody from D-line to linebackers, DBs… to be able to be really specific and say, 'This is what I'm looking for,' and that I want to go. Then the players respond to that and know exactly what that is, which feels really good to be able to do. That said, I missed doing that before."
The Jets had more than their fair share of issues to correct this offseason, and while there is plenty to be excited about with David Bailey, Minkah Fitzpatrick, T’Vondre Sweat, and David Onyemata, the most impactful acquisition just might be cornerback Nahshon Wright:
...
CB Nahshon Wright
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 199lbs
Age: 27
Contract: 1yr, $5.5M
2025: 17 G, 5 INT, 11 PD, 80 TKL, 2 FF, 3 FR
Wright isn’t the sure thing…
If you take a look back at his career before inking a one-year deal in New York, you’ll find disappointing stints with both the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings and one out-of-left-field season with the Chicago Bears.
2021: 13 G, 0 INT
2022: 7 G, 1 INT
2023: 12 G, 0 INT
2024: 1 G, 0 INT
2025: 17 G, 5 INT
The Jets are just hoping he can stay healthy and produce to half the level that he did last season, as they haven’t had one player take part in seven or more turnovers in a single season since Ty Law (10) in 2005.
Fitzpatrick will be the leader of a secondary that has plenty of exciting young talent like Qwan’tez Stiggers, Brandon Stephens, and D’Angelo Ponds – they’ll just be relying on some of the production to come from Wright.
