Weight concept or piece concept?

JetBlue uses the piece concept: your allowance is counted in bags (pieces), and each piece has its own weight and size limit. Two lighter bags are not automatically the same as one heavier bag — check the per-piece limit in the table below.

In plain terms

Reading the table from the cheapest fare up: with Main / Main Flex / EvenMore (U.S., Latin America, Caribbean, Canada, off-peak, added more than 24h before departure) you can check 1st bag $45, 2nd bag $59; peak-season: 1st bag $49, 2nd bag $69; with BlueFirst Base / Mint Base (same regions, off-peak) you can check 1st bag included (up to 70 lbs / 32 kg), 2nd bag $59; peak 2nd bag $69; with BlueFirst / BlueFirst Flex / Mint / Mint Flex (same regions) you can check 1st and 2nd bags included (up to 70 lbs / 32 kg each); with All fares (same regions) you can check 3rd or additional checked bag $200. Anything beyond the line for your own fare is charged under the excess rules, so the fare you booked — not the one you nearly booked — is the one that decides what you pay at the desk.
