The NFL has released all teams' 2016 preseason opponents, and for the Jets that means three meetings against NFC East opponents — the Redskins, Giants and Eagles — after they get their summer party started at MetLife Stadium with their new featured runner, Matt Forte, going against their former tailback, Chris Ivory, and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jets will open the second preseason of the Todd Bowles era against the Jaguars (who signed Ivory as an unrestricted free agent in March) on the weekend of Aug. 11-15. Next will be a road trip to play at Washington, then the annual summer tilt against the Giants — Jets' home game this year — and the annual preseason finale against the Eagles, this time at "the Linc" in South Philly.

For the fourth straight summer, no Jets preseason games will be nationally televised. All games will be televised locally on New York's CBS 2. The exact dates and kickoffs for all four games will be firmed up in the coming weeks. The NFL will release all teams' regular-season schedules later this month.

Preseason Week 1, vs. Jacksonville, MetLife Stadium, Aug. 11-15

The teams have met just once before in the preseason, also at MetLife on Aug. 17, 2013, which the Jets won, 37-13, with Bilal Powell posting a game-leading 68 rushing yards and Kahlil Bell running for two third-quarter touchdowns.

The Jags' only other visits to MetLife were in the 2011 regular season, also won by the Jets, 32-3, with Muhammad Wilkerson executing the first sack of his Green & White career for a safety, and last year, yet another Green & White win, by 28-23 on Ryan Fitzpatrick TD strikes to Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker and two Ivory TD runs.

Preseason Week 2, at Washington, FedEx Field, Aug. 18-22

This will be only the Jets' second preseason trip to FedEx, with the first coming in 2006 when they posted a 27-14 win over the Redskins. The teams have played there only two other times in the regular season, in '03 (16-13 'Skins win in NFL's opener that year) and '11 (34-19 Jets win).
