The New York Jets have drastically changed from the end of the 2024 season to the start of the 2025 offseason.
Aaron Glenn has become the team’s head coach and the de facto man in charge of the organization. Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, and many other stars from the last regime are out.
Now, the organization has gotten younger, faster, and weaker in some cases. While the Jets have brought in quality veterans across the board to try and improve their standing, not everyone is impressed with the moves the organization has made.
And one analyst believes the Jets are in for a very bad year ahead.
Analyst ranks Jets’ offseason 31st
In a rankings article from The Athletic’s Austin Mock, the Jets’ offseason was ranked 31st in the NFL at a staggering rate. According to Mock, much of the team’s youth leaves much to be desired.
“The Aaron Rodgers era was nothing short of a disaster, as the Jets’ offense heads into the 2025 season as one of the worst in the NFL,” Mock said. “Outside of the interior offensive line, there isn’t a position group that rates higher than 27th. And while the defense should again outpace the offense, I’m not sure they’re destined to be one of the league’s best units any more, as their defensive line projects as below average.”
It’s not hard to see exactly where Mock is coming from.
There’s reason to expect the Jets downgraded at several key positions, including quarterback, tight end, WR2, CB2, and safety.
Despite this, it’s also completely unfair to grade teams on offseasons before the draft or the final wave of free agency is complete. Remember, teams can release players with large cap hits after June 1st, and that may alter what other organizations try to do before training camp.
The point is that the Jets are far from a finished product, and they won’t be a finished product even after the draft. If the coaching staff is truly better than the previous regime, then there’s a good chance the Jets will outpace the 2024 team early next season.
