Geno Smith, Demario Davis, Minkah Fitzpatrick are among Jets captains; Garrett Wilson is not
The Jets worked to bring in more experienced players after a young roster struggled in 2025 and three of those players were named team captains on Thursday.
The New York Jets have announced their captains for the upcoming season, with Geno Smith, Demario Davis, and Minkah Fitzpatrick being selected by their teammates. This marks a shift from the previous year's roster, as none of the 2025 captains are returning to the role. The notable exception is wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who remains the team's top target and one of the longest-tenured players, despite not being named a captain this season.
The selection of these new captains reflects the team's efforts to bolster their roster with more experienced players following a challenging campaign in 2025.
