The New York Jets’ roster is not built to win a championship just yet – and they know it.
New York’s new regime actively pursued young, affordable players in its first offseason at the helm, steering clear of splashy moves. Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn did everything they could to distance themselves from the win-now moves of the Aaron Rodgers era.
Their focus was to preserve the franchise’s long-term flexibility, setting the foundation of something that could last. In the meantime, this approach leaves the roster with a plethora of short-term question marks. The Jets are counting on unproven players to fill many critical roles.
