New York Jets 2017 Preseason: Schedule, How To Watch, Roster Moves, Transportation

NEW YORK CITY — The New York Jets may have a long season ahead of them. After cutting the majority of the team's veteran players after a disastrous 5-win season, the Jets are likely tanking for a high draft pick next year. If that's the case, the preseason "Snoopy Bowl" may be the only trophy the Jets play for this year.

Other than a week three matchup against the New York Giants — in which key players often get injured while duking it out for a trophy modeled after a cartoon dog — the Jets will match up against the Tennessee Titans, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles during the four-week preseason.

The Jets will be playing away from MetLife Stadium just once this preseason — they're technically on the road against the Giants — in a week two matchup at Ford Field in Detroit.

Here is what you need to know about the Jets' 2017 preseason:

Schedule:

• Jets vs. Titans, MetLife Stadium, Aug. 12
• Jets at Lions, Ford Field, Aug. 19
• Jets at Giants, MetLife Stadium, Aug. 26
• Jets vs. Eagles, MetLife Stadium, Thursday, Aug. 31

How to watch:

The Jets preseason games will be carried on the team's TV and radio affiliates, which means fans can tune into the games on WCBS-TV and ESPN New York 98.7 FM. For a Spanish broadcast check out 1050 AM ESPN.

The Jets have radio affiliates in Albany (WTMM-FM, 104.5 FM) and Manahawkin, N.J. (WCHR-FM, 105.7 FM).

Getting to MetLife Stadium:

Additions:

• S Jamal Adams: First round draft pick.
• S Marcus Maye: Second round draft pick.
• QB Josh McCown: Acquired in free agency.
• CB Morris Claiborne: Acquired in free agency.
• LT Kelvin Beachum: Acquired in free agency.
• K Chandler Catanzaro: Acquired in free agency.

Losses:

• CB Darrelle Revis
• C Nick Mangold
• QB Geno Smith
• WR Brandon Marshall
• WR Eric Decker
• ILB David Harris
• S Marcus Gilchrist
