The New York Jets entered the season in their first year of a rebuild. Even though general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn are in the first steps to mold the team in their image, Jets fans were expecting them to improve compared to previous years. Instead, they look worse by the week and sit in the basement of the NFL standings with an 0-7 record.
Considering the team's standing and how poor the on-field product is on a week-to-week basis, the expectation was that the team would trade away players, particularly those who are on expiring contracts.
