The New York Jets will not take part in Super Bowl 60.
The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks earned that right.
In a sense, the Jets will be represented at the game. By former players.
In total, four ex players for the Green and White will play and are one win away from a Super Bowl title.
Here’s who:
Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.Patriots: OL Morgan Moses
Moses, a 14-year NFL veteran spent the 2024 season with the Jets as a starter on their offensive line. He had a respectable season putting up a 63.3 overall mark via Pro Football Focus’ metrics, but New York went in a younger direction on their O-line in 2025.
Seahawks: QB Sam Darnold
Darnold needs little introduction for the Jets’ faithful.
Seahawks: K Jason Myers
Myers was the Jets’ clutch kicker (for once) in 2018.
Seahawks: DL Leonard Williams
A staple for both New York football teams, Williams was the Jets’ first-round pick in 2015 and a 2016 Pro Bowler with the team.
