What we know for sure is the schedule is always released before the NFL draft.  This year the draft is scheduled to take place from Thursday April 25th through Saturday April 27th.  So even if the report of the schedule being released on April 16th is inaccurate, it will definitely be right around that date.

We do know who the Jets 2013 opponents will be, that list appears below.

New York Jets

Home: Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders

Away: Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans
