The New York Jets will officially kick off their 2026 offseason program on April 20th. With so many new assistant coaches, this is basically a new regime. They will need to shape the roster, and these early workouts mark the first real step toward building chemistry and setting the tone for the year. From there, the Jets will move through organized team activities in late May and early June before wrapping up with mandatory minicamp from June 16\u201318.

Jets Offseason Program<\/p>\n
NEW YORK \u2014 April 3, 2026 \u2014 Voluntary offseason workout programs are intended to provide training, teaching and physical conditioning for players. The calendar for 2026 is below.<\/p>\n
As per Article 21 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, each club\u2019s official, voluntary nine-week offseason program is conducted in three phases:<\/p>\n
Phase One consists of the first two weeks of the program with activities limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.<\/p>\n
Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program. On-field workouts may include individual or group instruction and drills, as well as \u201cperfect play drills,\u201d and drills and plays with offensive players lining up across from offensive players and defensive players lining up across from defensive players, conducted at a walk-through pace. No live contact or team offense vs. team defense drills are permitted.<\/p>\n
Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program. Teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity, or \u201cOTAs\u201d. No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.<\/p>\n
Article 22 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement stipulates that clubs may hold one mandatory minicamp for veteran players. This minicamp, noted below, must occur during Phase Three of the offseason program.<\/p>\n
New head coaches are entitled to conduct an additional voluntary veteran minicamp.\u00a0 Any voluntary minicamp for veteran players must be conducted prior to the NFL Draft (April 23-25), but no earlier than week three of the club\u2019s offseason workout program and after at least one week of the two weeks of Phase One activities that the clubs may hold pursuant to Article 21. This year, 10 clubs will hold voluntary veteran minicamps, as noted below.<\/p>\n
Each club may hold a rookie football development program for a period of seven weeks, which in 2026 may begin on May 11. During this period, no activities may be held on weekends, with the exception of one post-Draft rookie minicamp, which may be conducted on either the first or second weekend following the draft. The dates of each club\u2019s post-draft rookie minicamps will be circulated at a later date.<\/p>\n
