The New York Jets have been the NFL’s punchline for more than a decade.
With an 0-6 start under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn, it feels like the franchise has somehow found a new low, one that continues to stretch the boundaries of rock bottom since the team’s last playoff appearance 15 seasons ago.
The misery has gotten so bad that even four-time NBA champion Draymond Green is calling for the NFL to relocate Gang Green out of New York.
Appearing on Fanatics’ “Why Is Draymond Green Talking About Football?” alongside NFL insider and co-host Jordan Schultz, the four-time NBA champion ripped into the Jets, arguing that the franchise should no longer represent New York.
“It’s the Jets, man,” said Green. “You don’t go to New York City to see the Jets, you just don’t do it. It’s a very unstable franchise, and they will do some very unstable s*** to Aaron Glenn, like let him go in the middle of his first year, as if it is all his fault, and I just don’t think it is, but it’s the Jets. What more do you expect?
“You are always going to be second-fiddle in New York, and then you couple that with being one of the s****iest organizations… Move the team,” he proclaimed. “The turf sucks, the stadium sucks, just move the team.”
To Green’s disappointment, the Jets aren’t going anywhere.
Despite the franchise’s poor performance and embarrassing record, the NFL would never relocate a team from the New York market. The market is simply too valuable — the revenue, the exposure, the business opportunities. Relocation would make little financial sense.
According to 2024–25 valuations, the Jets generated roughly $663 million in revenue last season, ranking seventh among all NFL franchises. That figure includes income from media rights, sponsorships, and game-day operations such as ticket sales.
So no, the Jets aren’t packing up and leaving New Jersey anytime soon. But if they keep finding new ways to lose for years to come, Green might not be the only one calling for moving trucks (or at least some natural grass at MetLife Stadium).
