New head coach Aaron Glenn is planning to instill a significant dose of toughness that may have been missing in the past. However, that characteristic alone won’t be enough to turn around a team that finished 5-12 last year. Running back Breece Hall believes the Jets have changed much of their offensive outlook due to the presence of quarterback Justin Fields.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/editorials/1-perfect-new-york-jets-move-fill-out-roster-2025-training-camp">The Jets</a> are Fields’ third NFL team. He started his career with the Chicago Bears and moved on to the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. While he was unable to maintain consistent production with either team, Fields displayed upper-echelon athleticism that should help the Jets make big plays on a much more consistent basis than they have in the past.</p><p>Hall explained that Fields has the ability to get away from the first wave of the rush, and that gives running backs and receivers in the pass pattern a chance to beat the defense and create big plays. It also gives Fields an opportunity to run for big plays.</p><p>Hall was a guest of Marshawn Lynch on the “Get Got” podcast and described what Fields can do with his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkkMb_HAY2w&amp;t=208s">athleticism and speed</a>.</p><p>“It’s been cool. He brings another sense of calm to the team and you know with having a running quarterback you know we’re always looking to make big plays when he’s trying to extend the play when we’re passing.</p><p>“So it’s been cool, it takes another person out of the box and makes the defense have to respect the run a little more and takes some of the stress off of me. So it creates an extra run lane, makes it harder for the defense, make them play a step slower. And it’s been good.”</p><h2><b>Hall is hoping to partner with Fields and help make the Jets dangerous</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Justin-Fields-gives-the-Jets-offense-an-option-it-has-not-had-in-the-past.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: John Jones-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The running back is noted for his explosiveness when he gets a chance to isolate on a linebacker. If he can build a cohesive relationship with Fields, Hall should be able to deliver impactful offensive numbers for the Jets.</p><p>He led New York in rushing last year with 209 carries for 876 yards and 5 touchdowns. However, his 4.2 yards per carry average is not overly impressive and he could add half a yard to more to that figure if defenses are worried about Fields’ ability to make big plays.</p><p>Hall has also shown that can be a sold receiving weapon after catching 57-483-3 in 2024.</p><p>Fields has completed 684 of 1,119 passes in his four years in the NFL for 7,780 yards with 45 touchdowns and 31 interceptions. He has also rushed for 2,509 yards with 19 touchdowns and an average 6.0 yards per carry.</p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And his leadership has already had an impact on Breece Hall.</p><p>The fourth-year running back acknowledged just <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkkMb_HAY2w&amp;t=208s" rel="noopener">how difficult</a> things were in New York during the 2024 season in an appearance on the Get Got Pod with Marshawn Lynch &amp; Mike Robinson.</p><p>“It was very difficult having your coach get let go after the fourth or fifth game and then having the OC have to step down and all this hectic stuff you know. Organizationally, everything’s crazy, it’s going to seep down into the players,” Hall explained.</p><p>“I feel like now with our new coaching staff, new GM, we have a lot of stability and they’re doing a good job of creating the culture and leading the way for us. So now all we got to do is put the work in and let whatever we’re doing show,” he added.</p><h2><b>Breece Hall feels comfortable with Aaron Glenn at the helm</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Aaron-Glenn_1fd143.jpg"><figcaption>John Jones-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Last season the Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh after a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. The drastic move was a desperate attempt by owner Woody Johnson to turn things around after a 2-3 start. However, the coaching change didn’t prevent the Jets from having <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/4-reasons-the-2024-jets-are-the-most-disappointing-team-in-nfl-history">one of the most disappointing seasons in NFL history</a>.</p><p>New York finished with a 5-12 record, missing the playoffs for the 14th straight year. The team has since embraced a complete organizational makeover, with a new GM, head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator and quarterback. The Jets, however, still have the same owner.</p><p>Hall racked up 1,359 total yards and eight touchdowns in 16 games last year. But his season was viewed as a let down after the immense promise he showed during his 2022 rookie campaign, which ended abruptly in Week 7 due to a season-ending knee injury.</p><p>The 24-year-old RB is entering the final year of his rookie deal and, despite flashing remarkable potential, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-rumors-breece-hall-available-trade-ahead-nfl-draft">rumors of a Hall trade circulated</a> over the offseason. At the time, Glenn added to the speculation about Hall’s future by telling reporters he wants Jets backups Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis to be more involved with the rushing attack in 2025.</p><p>However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/breece-hall-reveals-aaron-glenns-trade-message">Glenn has since spoken to Hall</a>, easing his mind by dismissing the trade talk and telling the veteran back that he’s wanted in New York.</p><p>“I just feel comfortable you know I’m happy, I’m in a good head space. AG, he keeps it 100, like he tells you what you need to hear not what you want to hear,” Hall said, per the Get Got Pod.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Jets’ new leader is emphasizing culture. Glenn isn’t promising a miraculous turnaround. Instead of slapping paint on the exterior, he’s trying to fix a rotten foundation. It’s a level-headed approach to team building but it takes time. And if there’s one thing that football fans hate, it’s anything that takes time.</p><p>Fortunately, fans don’t have to wait for scorching-hot takes as the NFL generates opinions year-round. Here are three particularly hot Jets takes to ponder at the start of summer.</p><h2><b>The New York Jets will win the AFC East</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Keyshawn-Johnson.jpg"><figcaption>Lou Capozzola-USA TODAY NETWORK</figcaption></figure><p>Please take a minute to allow your eyes to adjust through the tears of laughter. All good? OK. Yes, that’s a real thing that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV1EdY1XHgY&amp;t=136s" rel="noopener">someone said</a>. And that someone is former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson.</p><p>Now, it should be noted that Johnson started his career with the Jets (although that didn’t exactly end well). And he is friendly with Glenn, as they were teammates in New York for four seasons. Johnson even prefaced his prediction by acknowledging that “I am a homer and I am a good friend of Aaron Glenn.” But the pick wasn’t just a tongue-in-check throwaway aimed at flattering his buddy or the fanbase.</p><p>Johnson spent a couple minutes discussing the changes New York made to its coaching staff and roster this offseason, concluding that he’s “high on the Jets” and picking the woebegone franchise to finish first in the division.</p><p>Now, there are hot takes and then there are <i>hot</i> takes. And this, friends, is the latter. The Jets last won the AFC East 23 years ago – in 2002 (with a 9-7 record by the way). That was one of two times New York has won the division since the merger in 1970.</p><p>Forget winning the division, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/dolphins-news-miami-walk-off-ot-win-extends-jets-brutal-playoff-drought">Jets haven’t reached the playoffs in 14 years</a>. Their last winning season came in 2015, which was also the last time the team finished better than third in the AFC East.</p><p>There’s really no need to pile on with all the reasons the Jets absolutely will not win the division in 2025. But here are a couple more.</p><p>The Jets have gone a miserable 16-44 against AFC East opponents since 2015. They’re 6-24 against their division rivals over the last five seasons, including a 2-4 finish in 2024. The Buffalo Bills have dominated in recent years, winning the AFC East five straight seasons. And there’s no reason to assume that will change with Josh Allen coming off an MVP campaign.</p><p>But even if Buffalo falters, the Miami Dolphins have finished second each year since Mike McDaniel became head coach in 2022. Additionally, the New England Patriots appear much improved. The team hired Mike Vrabel as its head coach this offseason and added wideout Stefon Diggs as a weapon for talented second-year quarterback Drake Maye.</p><p>The division features Josh Allen, Tua Tagovailoa and Drake Maye. And the Jets have Justin Fields (more on him shortly). Preseason projections have the Jets winning 5.5 games in 2025. So, painful as it is to admit, there’s a far, far greater chance that the Jets finish last in the division than first. And the team seems destined to extend its soul-crushing playoff drought, which is already the longest in North American professional sports.</p><h2><b>Justin Fields is about to break out</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Justin-Fields.jpg"><figcaption>John Jones-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Aaron Glenn is actually largely responsible for the Fields hype, as he set <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/jets-hc-aaron-glenn-on-justin-fields-being-qb1" rel="noopener">lofty expectations</a> for the fifth-year passer, telling reporters, “I just think he’s ready to break out as a top-notch quarterback,” per NFL.com. That sentiment has been picked up by others as the offseason has progressed.</p><p>ESPN’s Ben Solak predicts that Fields will <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45282248/2025-nfl-season-100-days-nuggets-predictions-stats-thoughts-lists" rel="noopener">resurrect his career</a> this season like Geno Smith in 2022, Baker Mayfield in 2023 and Sam Darnold in 2024. Of course, each of those passers threw for over 4,000 yards in their breakout campaigns while accounting for 31, 29 and 36 total touchdowns respectively.</p><p>Fields has never come close to that level of production over the first four years of his career, as he tops out at 2,562 passing yards (in 2023) and 25 total touchdowns (in 2022). It’s unrealistic – and unfair – to expect Fields to follow in those QB’s footsteps, particularly given the Jets’ dearth of receiving talent (more on that shortly) and the coach’s desire to run the ball as much as possible with three different backs.</p><p>While Solak stops short of predicting a 4,000-yard passing season from Fields this year (which would put him just behind Joe Namath for the all-time single-season franchise record of 4,007 yards), he does anticipate 3,000 passing yards, 900 rushing yards and 30 total touchdowns.</p><p>Although those numbers don’t seem entirely out of the realm of possibility, that stat line would go down as one of the greatest in team history – which honestly says a lot about the Jets.</p><p>However, team reporter Randy Lange took things a <a href="https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/how-many-total-yards-and-tds-will-justin-fields-have-jets-2025-season" rel="noopener">step further</a>, blowing Solak out of the water with a preposterous prediction of 4,500 total yards and 35 combined touchdowns for Fields in his Jets debut. That would demolish the franchise record of 4,175 total yards (held by Ryan Fitzpatrick) and top the team’s all-time single-season QB touchdown mark of 33 (also Fitzpatrick).</p><p>Beyond crushing Jets’ records, a 4,500-yard, 35-touchdown campaign would make Fields an elite NFL quarterback. For perspective, only five QBs hit both those marks last season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/bills-news-josh-allen-beats-lamar-jackson-first-nfl-mvp">Josh Allen won league MVP</a> with 4,262 total yards and 40 combined touchdowns.</p><p>It’s time to pump the breaks on Fields. Yes, it would be great to see him succeed and find a permanent NFL home after playing for three different teams in five seasons. But expecting him to make the leap from borderline starter to top five quarterback on a Jets team that ranked 24th in offense last year with Aaron Rodgers leading a far more talented group of pass catchers is absolute madness.</p><h2><b>Josh Reynolds can be the Jets’ WR2</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Josh-Reynolds.jpg"><figcaption>John Jones-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Reports from minicamp indicated that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-new-york-josh-reynolds-agree-5-million-contract">newly signed wideout Josh Reynolds</a> is winning the WR2 battle, suggesting the Jets should be comfortable going into the 2025 season with the veteran wideout starting opposite Garrett Wilson.</p><p>Reynolds is entering his ninth season in the league. In that time he’s earned a reputation as a strong blocking receiver, which should help him get on the field in what figures to be a run-heavy scheme under Glenn. However, the 30-year-old wideout has eclipsed 600 receiving yards just twice in his career.</p><p>Reynolds finished with 52 receptions for 618 yards and two touchdowns while operating as the WR3 behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods with the Los Angeles Rams in 2020. And he was the Detroit Lions’ third-leading receiver in 2023, catching 40 passes for 608 yards and five touchdowns.</p><p>Reynolds did draw 13 starts that season, essentially operating as the Lions’ WR2 after Jameson Williams’ four-game suspension for violating the league’s gambling policy. However, there was a massive gap between tight end Sam LaPorta, who functioned as Detroit’s second receiving option, and Reynolds.</p><p>As the roster currently stands, the Jets don’t have a tight end capable of replicating LaPorta’s 86-catch, 889-yard, 10-touchdown output from 2023 (those are completely unrealistic numbers to expect from Mason Taylor in his rookie season). So New York will need more than 40 receptions, 600 yards and five scores from whoever ends up as the team’s WR2.</p><p>Last season New York had four players with at least 51 receptions, 449 yards and four touchdowns and a fifth receiver had 37 catches for 530 yards and six scores. And the team won five games, ranking 24th in offense.</p><p>Even if Reynolds is able to match his career-best output in 2025 (with Fields and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-aaron-glenn-poaches-lions-new-york-oc">first-time OC Tanner Engstrand</a>), that production simply wouldn’t be enough.</p><p>The problem is, the Jets don’t really have many options for the role. Allen Lazard is Reynolds’ primary competition at the moment. But it’s unclear if Lazard will still be on the team by the time the season rolls around.</p><p>Whether the Jets ultimately decide to keep him, cut him or trade him, Lazard has never caught more than 60 passes in a season and he’s never had more than 788 receiving yards. And that’s despite playing with MVP-caliber Aaron Rodgers in his Green Bay Packers days.</p><p>Additionally, drops are a persistent problem for Lazard. He had the sixth-highest drop percentage among wideouts last season.</p><p>Beyond Reynolds and Lazard, the Jets have second-year wideout Malachi Corley, who’s already in danger of being cut, and fourth-round rookie Arian Smith, who will need some development time before taking on a significant role in the offense.</p><p>So, the Jets must make a decision. Go with Reynolds in a role he’s not suited for or <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-editorials/new-york-jets-3-trade-targets-round-out-2025-roster">acquire a wideout capable of opening up the offense</a> and taking some coverage off of Garrett Wilson. Of course, the most likely outcome is a million dump offs to the running back – split three ways between Breece Hall, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis naturally.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Johnson will <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/45567347/ny-jets-owner-woody-johnson-agrees-buy-crystal-palace-stake" rel="noopener">buy the club</a> from John Textor, according to ESPN’s Mark Ogden.</p><p>The agreement is currently pending approval, as it has to pass the league’s Owners and Director’s Test, which is also known as the Fit and Proper Persons Test.</p><p>“Whilst the completion is pending approval from the Premier League and Women’s Super League, we do not envisage any issues and look forward to welcoming Woody as a partner and director of the club,” Palace said in a statement.</p><p>“We would like to go on record to thank John Textor for his contribution over the past four years and wish him every success for the future.”</p><p>If the purchase is approved, Palace would have a chance to play in the UEFA Europa League next season, and it will end the prospect of the club breaching multiclub ownership rules.

They <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-hiring-aaron-glenn-head-coach">hired Aaron Glenn to be the new head coach</a> of the team. He is defensive minded, and the Jets are hoping his leadership in Detroit will transfer into a larger role in New York. Glenn then <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-new-oc-tanner-engstrand-gives-5-keys-ny-offense-shooting-for">hired Tanner Engstrand to be the offensive coordinator</a>, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-steve-wilks-aaron-glenn-defensive-coordinator-new-york">Steve Wilks to fill the role of defensive coordinator</a>. With these three new main coaches, New York is looking to make the playoffs for the first time since 2010.</p><p>OC Engstrand believes in Justin Fields at quarterback, and the offense is still dangerous with Garrett Wilson catching passes. Breece Hall and Braelon Allen both return to the backfield, as well. Additionally, there should be two rookies starting on offense with first round pick OT Armand Membou, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-mason-taylor-on-continuing-family-legacy-nfl">second rounder Mason Taylor at tight end</a>.</p><p>On the defensive side of the ball, New York still has Sauce Gardner at cornerback. With him, the Jets are going to rely on Jamien Sherwood to be a powerful presence at linebacker, while Quinnen Williams stuffs the middle in the trenches. Besides them, New York could use a little bit more talent on defense, especially in the pass rush.</p><p>The Jets have not had a winning season since 2015. The team is hoping that changes this year, but there are some moves to be made still.</p><h2><b>What are the Jets’ positional needs?</b></h2><p>As mentioned, the team could use another pass rusher.</p><p>Per PFF, New York is shaping up to have Will McDonald IV and Jermaine Johnson <a href="https://www.pff.com/nfl/teams/new-york-jets/22/lineup" rel="noopener">start at the edge position</a>. However, if a guess had to be made, Michael Clemons would be the starter over Johnson to begin the year. At defensive tackle, the Jets should start Williams and Byron Cowart (if we are going by most snaps).</p><p>In 2024, the Jets were able to get 10.5 sacks out of McDonald, and 4.5 out of Clemons. Williams did a great job dominating the middle of the line as he finished second on the team with six sacks. With Javon Kinlaw and Solomon Thomas gone, New York is losing eight sacks from their season total one year ago. The Jets have to find someone to fill that void.</p><p>Now New York attempted to make some additions to their defensive line, but none of them are the type of players to really stuff the middle. They signed Cowart, Jay Tufele, Derrick Nnadi, and Rashad Weaver. However, those four players combined for just three sacks last season.</p><p>On the edge, New York seems okay, but they need someone to match McDonald’s sack total, or at least get close to it. Along with that, losing eight sacks on the interior hurts the team, and the pass coverage can only do so much if the line is not getting to the quarterback.</p><h2><b>Jadeveon Clowney would fit well in New York</b></h2><p>This could be a bit of stretch for the Jets. It would make it even worse if New York had to overpay just because of the name. However, Jadeveon Clowney is an 11-year veteran in the NFL, and he has made an impact for a few different teams. He might not be a full-time starter anymore, but the Jets could use the veteran leadership for the defensive line.</p><p>Last season, Clowney played and started 14 games for the Carolina Panthers. He finished with 46 total tackles, nine tackles for a loss, and 5.5 sacks. Just one year prior to that, the three-time Pro Bowl nominee had 9.5 sacks for the Baltimore Ravens. In 2021, Clowney had 9.0 sacks for the Cleveland Browns. He clearly still has what it takes to rush the pocket in the  NFL.</p><p>The Jets need someone to match McDonald on the other side. They are hoping Jermaine Johnson can be that guy as he returns from injury, but Clowney might be the better choice after the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/panthers-news-carolina-releases-jadeveon-clowney-wake-2025-nfl-draft">Panthers released him just after the NFL draft</a>. The South Carolina product still has the talent to replace the eight sacks the Jets are losing.</p><p>With a defensive-minded head coach, and a solid defensive coordinator, there is no doubt Clowney would be put in a position to succeed in New York. The Jets would just have to make sure they get a good price for him. Per Spotrac, Clowney’s <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/year/2025/position/dl" rel="noopener">projected AAV</a> is just over $11 million. That might be too high of a number for teams to want to take a chance on him.</p><p>No matter the case, the Jets would be smart to grab another defensive lineman with a history of getting to the quarterback.

He is a longtime podcaster and even longer suffering NY Jets fan.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The New York Jets’ newly installed braintrust executed a sensible if unspectacular debut draft in April. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-hiring-aaron-glenn-head-coach">Head coach Aaron Glenn</a> and general manager Darren Mougey recognized the team’s most glaring needs and addressed them. Still, a team that finished 5-12 last season and hasn’t reached the playoffs in 14 years is more than one sensible draft away from fixing its roster. A number of holes remain and the Jets could address their deficiencies though the trade market.</p><p>But before proceeding with potential trade targets to round out the Jets’ roster, it should be noted that the team, under Glenn’s direction, doesn’t seem likely to make a splash this offseason. During the wild and reckless Aaron Rodgers era, the Jets were wheeling and dealing, operating under the assumption that they were always just an acquisition away from contending for a title.</p><p>That approach cost the coaching staff and front office execs their jobs as the organization was gutted following the 2024 season. Now the pendulum has swung back in the other direction. Glenn and company don’t seem focused on winning in 2025. Of course they want to win. But that’s not the primary objective in Year 1. Instead the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-ouster-sign-things-come">emphasis has been on getting younger</a> and building a culture from the ground up.</p><p>So, using draft capital or taking on salary to add players that could help the Jets make a playoff run in 2025 is somewhat antithetical to the new shot callers’ philosophy. But, at the end of the day, Woody Johnson still owns the team. And while <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-woody-johnson-eye-opening-admission-after-2024-campaign">Johnson accepted responsibility for some of the Jets’ dysfunction</a>, and he’s indicated that he’ll take a step back to give Glenn space to run the team, the owner’s new hands-off approach isn’t going to last forever. Johnson wants to see the embarrassing playoff drought end. If it doesn’t, sooner or later the meddling will resume.</p><p>With all that in mind, here are three trade targets the Jets should – but probably won’t – pursue this offseason.</p><p>Let’s begin by addressing the elephant in the room. The Jets need a WR2. New York has a budding superstar in Garrett Wilson. The former Offensive Rookie of the Year is the only player in franchise history to begin his career with three straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons. And considering the assortment of quarterbacks he’s worked with since being selected in the first round of the 2022 draft, the feat is all the more impressive. The Jets picked up Wilson’s fifth-year option but the team needs to sign him to an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-garrett-wilson-jet-for-life-message-contract-negotiations">extension that keeps him in New York long term</a>.</p><p>Wilson has been great regardless of who’s under center for New York. And now he’ll reunite with his former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields. But opposite Wilson, the Jets run into problems. Allen Lazard is the team’s WR2 on paper. But the seventh-year wideout is clearly not part of the Jets’ future. And he may not be part of its present either. New York could still decide to trade or cut Lazard prior to training camp.</p><p>Yes, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-new-york-restructures-contract-aaron-rodgers-pass-catcher-allen-lazard">Lazard restructured his contract</a>, taking a big pay cut for the 2025 season. But regardless of salary, his on-field contributions leave a lot to be desired. Lazard, who turns 30 this year, has never caught more than 60 passes in a season. He’s never had 800 receiving yards. And drops are a persistent problem. He had the sixth-highest drop percentage among wideouts last season.</p><p>In the right situation, Lazard could be a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4qP42Aqpbg&amp;t=19s" rel="noopener">perfectly cromulent</a> WR3/4. But that’s not a luxury the Jets have. And they can’t rely on him as the No. 2 option.</p><p>Beyond Lazard, the Jets have the newly acquired Josh Reynolds. While the eighth-year veteran was a solid depth signing for New York, he hasn’t given any indication that he’s capable of producing as the number two option either.</p><p>Second-year receiver Malachi Corley is still a work in progress and rookie fourth-rounder Arian Smith seems to be a developmental project.</p><p>However, there is a wide receiver out there that would be an ideal fit as the Jets’ WR2. And he could be available at a reasonable price.</p><h2><b>Rescue Romeo</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Romeo-Doubs_52fbd8.jpg"><figcaption>Tork Mason/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin</figcaption></figure><p>Romeo Doubs is a talented young wideout who’s yet to reach his full potential in the Green Bay Packers’ crowded receivers room. Doubs had already been competing for targets with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks. But then the Packers used their first-round pick in the 2025 draft on former Texas receiver Matthew Golden. Then, for some reason, Green Bay doubled down on rookie pass catchers, taking TCU standout Savion Williams in the third round and creating an even bigger glut at the position.</p><p>With Doubs entering the final year of his rookie deal this season, the Packers should be open to a trade. Moving the wideout would clear space for Green Bay’s plethora of pass catchers while also allowing the team to get something in return for Doubs before he walks in free agency.</p><p>At 6’2” and 200 pounds, Doubs would give the Jets a big-bodied, contested catch specialist – an ideal fit opposite the speedy and shifty Wilson. Still just 25 years old, Doubs is a strong route runner who’s demonstrated an ability to score, as evidenced by his eight-touchdown campaign in 2023.</p><p>While his stats over the first three years of his career don’t jump off the page, Doubs simply hasn’t had the chance to work consistently as the second option in the passing game. With the Jets, he’d get that opportunity.</p><h2><b>The Jets should get Cole Kmet</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Cole-Kmet.jpg"><figcaption>Jamie Sabau-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Sticking with offensive weapons, the Jets should also consider making an offer for Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet. Like Doubs, Kmet has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason. And also like Doubs, the sixth-year veteran would be a good fit for New York.</p><p>It became clear that Kmet was the odd man out in Chicago when new head coach Ben Johnson chose to prioritize tight end in the draft. The Bears grabbed Colston Loveland with the 10th overall pick, casting doubt over Kmet’s role in the team’s new offense.</p><p>Yes, the Jets drafted a tight end as well, as New York selected Mason Taylor out of LSU in the second round. While Taylor has all the physical traits you could hope for in a tight end as well as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-mason-taylor-on-continuing-family-legacy-nfl">Hall of Fame genetics</a> (his father is former Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor), he remains something of a wild card.</p><p>Taylor posted modest numbers in college. He had his best season in 2024, catching 55 passes for 546 yards and two touchdowns. Additionally, he plays a position that tends to require a lengthy adjustment period in the NFL, as rookie tight ends rarely break out (with some recent notable exceptions).</p><p>The Jets lost veteran TE Tyler Conklin in free agency, leaving them with only Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt for depth at the position. That means the team is relying on Taylor to make a seamless adjustment to the pros and out-produce his college stats as a rookie in the NFL.</p><p>Even if Taylor does defy the odds and levels up in his debut season, Kmet would still be a good addition for New York. He already has chemistry with new Jets quarterback Justin Fields, as the two spent three seasons together in Chicago. Kmet had his best receiving campaign with Fields under center in 2023 (73 receptions, 719 yards, six touchdowns).</p><p>Additionally, Fields has favored throwing to tight ends throughout his career. So catering to that preference by using 12 personnel would be wise. Despite the contract hedge, the Jets have indicated that they’re all in on Fields and eager to see him earn the starting job long term. Adding a familiar, dependable security blanket like Kmet would go a long way toward ensuring his success.</p><p>With the most pressing offensive needs addressed, it’s time to turn to the defense. The Jets have been strong defensively since Robert Saleh turned things around for the franchise – New York went from the worst overall defensive team in football in 2021 to fourth best in 2022. Despite the team’s struggles last season, New York ranked third in overall defense.</p><p>The Jets lost defensive back D.J. Reed in free agency and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-new-york-makes-shocking-decision-5-time-all-pro-cj-mosley">parted ways with veteran linebacker C.J. Mosley</a> this offseason. Still, the secondary should be OK with Brandon Stephens joining Sauce Gardner for 2025. And Jamien Sherwood essentially started in place of Mosley all last season without the linebacker corps missing a beat.</p><p>However, the Jets’ defensive line is not in great shape. Defensive tackles Javon Kinlaw and Solomon Thomas both signed elsewhere in free agency, leaving New York thin at the interior. The team still has All-Pro Quinnen Williams. But he could use some help in the middle of the D-line.</p><h2><b>Fixing a hole</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/DJ-Reader.jpg"><figcaption>Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Jets would benefit by adding a run-stopper as they were far weaker against the rush than the pass in 2024. And that disparity could be even greater this season if the defensive interior isn’t addressed.</p><p>There are actually two strong options for the Jets. Veteran defensive tackle D.J Reader had a bit of a down year in 2024 but he’s consistently graded out as one of the league’s top interior defenders. And Aaron Glenn is familiar with the 30-year-old D-lineman having coached him in Detroit.</p><p>Reader is a dependable veteran on an expiring contract. The Lions have Alim McNeill and Levi Onwuzurike at the defensive tackle position and the team just spent their first-round pick in the 2025 draft on another DT, Ohio State product Tyleik Williams. So Detroit could be motivated to move Reader at a reasonable price.</p><p>Sebastian Joseph-Day is another, more cost-effective option to beef up the Jets’ interior defense. Joseph-Day re-signed with the Tennessee Titans during the offseason on a one-year, $6.5 million deal. However, the Titans are invested in T’Vondre Sweat and Jeffery Simmons in the interior and could be open to flipping the 30-year-old veteran.</p><p>Joseph-Day only played about half the defensive snaps for the Titans last season but he graded out as a strong run defender, ranking eighth out of 219 DTs in 2024.</p><p>While adding any of these players would make the Jets a better team this season, New York is an unlikely candidate to pull off a trade – at least, a trade in which talent is acquired, as Lazard could very well be moved.</p><p>The 2025 season has a redshirt feel for the Jets as Glenn seems intent on a very deliberate culture build that could take years to bear fruit. In the meantime, the focus is on developing young talent and seeing what he has in the inherited roster.

After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jets-news-ny-signs-ufl-standout-with-incredible-nickname">an impressive season</a> in the UFL, the former Missouri kicker has officially signed with the Jets, bringing not just a powerful leg but also some much-needed competition to a position <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jets-sign-thiccer-kicker-harrison-mevis-after-standout-ufl-stint/" rel="noopener">that has been a headache</a> for New York throughout 2024.</p><p>Mevis was affectionately dubbed the “Thiccer Kicker” during his college days, caught attention for his impressive size — standing at 6 feet and weighing 242 pounds — and his knack for nailing long-range field goals under pressure. His unforgettable 61-yard game-winner against Kansas State in 2023 still holds the record for the longest kick in SEC history. Now, after an outstanding 95.2% success rate on field goals with the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions this spring, he’s back in the NFL with a chance to make his mark.</p><p>The Jets are on the hunt for stability at kicker after cycling through five players last season, who collectively managed to convert just 71.4% of their field goal attempts. Mevis <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2025/06/17/jets-sign-harrison-mevis-ufl-kicker/84246597007/" rel="noopener">enters a competition</a> with Caden Davis, a rookie from Ole Miss, and he comes with impressive credentials. During his time in the UFL, he made 20 out of 21 field goals, with his only miss coming from a challenging 63 yards. He also nailed every attempt from inside 50 yards and ranked third among all UFL kickers in points scored.</p><p>Originally signed by the Carolina Panthers, Mevis didn’t make the final roster. However, he bounced back in the UFL, reminding NFL teams of the talent that once earned him first-team All-American honors at Missouri. Over his college career, he converted 83.5% of his field goals (86 out of 103) and <a href="https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/jets-sign-kicker-harrison-mevis-release-anders-carlson-06-18-2025" rel="noopener">set school records</a> for total points and field goals made.</p><p>To make room for Mevis, the Jets released <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jets-news-new-york-signs-another-kicker-anders-carlsons-struggles">Anders Carlson, who played in five games last season</a> and made eight out of 10 field goal attempts. Despite showing some consistency, Carlson struggled with extra points and couldn’t distinguish himself in a turbulent kicking unit.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

New York has been the worst franchise in the NFL over the past decade, carrying the league’s longest playoff drought at 14 years. This organization carried some hope over the past few years that it would evolve into a contender thanks to a stellar defense, talented offensive weapons, and Aaron Rodgers under center. Unfortunately, that experiment did not work out, and owner Woody Johnson decided to press the reset button, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-woody-johnson-reason-unprecedented-robert-saleh-firing">firing head coach Robert Saleh</a> and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/nfl-rumors-joe-douglas-relieved-fired-jets">general manager Joe Douglas</a>.</p><p>While questions about the instability with the ownership are very valid, New York has made some encouraging new hires this offseason. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-hiring-aaron-glenn-head-coach">Former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn</a> is now the new head coach, while longtime Denver Broncos front office member <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-pluck-new-gm-broncos-front-office">Darren Mougey is the team’s new GM</a>. The Jets also have made some encouraging additions to their roster this offseason, including an NFL Draft that has been widely praised. The franchise is continuing that positive momentum, signing a successful placekicker to solve a major weakness in 2024.</p><p>NFL insider Ari Meirov <a href="https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1935082051176382905" rel="noopener">confirmed the news</a> while revealing the nickname of the Jets’ new field goal kicker.</p><p>“The Jets are signing K Harrison Mevis — a.k.a. “The Thiccer Kicker” — who stands 6’0″, 242 lbs. He just went 20-of-21 on field goals with the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions.”</p><h2><b>The Jets are rebuilding with a roster that has the upside to surprise a lot of people</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Jets-Aaron-Glenn.jpg"><figcaption>John Jones-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>With Rodgers gone, Justin Fields is the new leader under center. He joins an offense led by former Lions passing game coordinator Tanner Engstrand with several players with Pro Bowl-caliber talent. Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall are two players who can have breakout seasons with some stability at the quarterback position and the offensive line. The Jets have focused a lot of their draft capital over the past few seasons on rebuilding themselves up front, and with the latest first-round selection of All-SEC left tackle Armand Membou, this unit should be a lot better in 2025.</p><p>And Membou was a teammate of Harrison Mevis at Missouri. Mevis had a phenomenal college career, making two ACC-SEC teams and being named First-team All-American in 2021. This signing is significant, especially after last season. New York only made 71% of its field goals in 2024, with veteran kicker Greg Zuerlein having a down year. For a team that will still lean on its defense most of the time, special teams will be as critical as ever.</p><p>Overall, this is another wise, under-the-radar move from Darren Mougey during this new era for the franchise. Preseason-wise, the Jets’ schedule is <a href="https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/nfl-strength-of-schedule/" rel="noopener">right in the middle</a> in terms of difficulty. If everything comes together, New York can reach its highest win total since 2015.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With a youth movement underway and a front office unafraid to make bold decisions, here are three Jets who are in real danger of being cut as the team heads toward training camp.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><h2>Breece Hall: The Former Star at a Crossroads</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Breece-Hall-New-York-Jets-in-danger-of-getting-cut-after-2025-minicamp.jpg"><figcaption>John Jones-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Breece Hall’s journey with the Jets has been a roller coaster, and 2025 may mark a turning point for the talented but embattled running back. After bursting onto the scene as a dynamic dual-threat weapon, Hall’s production has steadily declined, and his ball security issues have become a growing concern for the coaching staff. In 2024, Hall’s rushing yards dipped to 876, his yards per carry dropped to a career low of 4.2, and he fumbled six times, doubling his total from his first two seasons combined.</p><p>The arrival of head coach Aaron Glenn and a new front office has only intensified scrutiny on Hall’s future. Glenn has publicly stated his support for Hall, but he stopped short of guaranteeing his long-term place on the roster, especially with promising young running backs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis waiting in the wings. The Jets have already had internal discussions about trading Hall, and while he survived the draft, his name continues to surface in trade rumors. If Hall fails to recapture his 2023 form or if the Jets fall out of playoff contention, he could become a prime candidate for a midseason trade or outright release.</p><p>Hall’s contract situation further complicates matters. Entering the final year of his rookie deal, the Jets must decide whether to commit to him long-term or move on before his value diminishes further. With a new regime that didn’t draft him and a committee approach looming, Hall’s status as RB1 is written in pencil, not ink.</p><h2>Jeremy Ruckert: The Tight End on Thin Ice</h2><p>Jeremy Ruckert, once a promising third-round pick, finds himself in a precarious position after a string of underwhelming seasons. Despite flashes of improvement during the 2025 offseason program, Ruckert’s overall production has not lived up to expectations, he’s managed just 35 catches for 264 yards and zero touchdowns since joining the team. His run-blocking, a supposed strength, has also been below average, leaving the Jets with little reason to view him as a long-term solution at tight end.</p><p>The Jets’ front office has made no secret of its intent to upgrade the position, heavily scouting top tight end prospects in the draft and signing converted receiver Stone Smartt for additional competition. Ruckert’s lack of impact in both the passing and running games makes him vulnerable, especially with the team’s renewed emphasis on physicality and versatility under Glenn. If a rookie or new addition outperforms him in training camp, Ruckert could easily be cut, ending his tenure as little more than a placeholder at a position in flux.</p><p>Ruckert’s best hope may be to carve out a niche as a special teamer or situational blocker, but with the Jets’ youth movement in full swing, even that may not be enough to save his roster spot.</p><h2>Allen Lazard: Veteran Receiver on the Bubble</h2><p>Allen Lazard’s time with the Jets has been a study in frustration and unmet expectations. Once envisioned as a reliable No. 2 receiver opposite Garrett Wilson, Lazard’s production and impact have waned, leading to a substantial pay cut just to remain on the roster heading into 2025. While some might assume this move secures his spot, the reality is quite the opposite: the pay cut makes Lazard’s contract more tradable, and the Jets could easily part ways with him if a younger, more dynamic receiver emerges during camp..</p><p>The Jets’ receiver room is crowded and competitive, with Josh Reynolds, Tyler Johnson, Malachi Corley, and Xavier Gipson all vying for roles behind Wilson. The front office has signaled its intent to add more talent through the draft and undrafted free agency, further squeezing Lazard’s margin for error. Lazard could be released or traded before the season begins unless he can rediscover his form and separate himself from the pack.</p><p>Lazard’s fate will likely hinge on his ability to contribute on special teams and his chemistry with the quarterbacks, but with the Jets prioritizing youth and upside, his experience alone may not be enough to save him.</p><p>The Jets’ 2025 roster is a work in progress, and the pressure to perform is higher than ever for veterans and underachievers alike. Breece Hall, Jeremy Ruckert, and Allen Lazard each face unique challenges, but all share one thing in common: their futures in New York are anything but certain after minicamp.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His in-depth knowledge of two of the most passionate and raucous fan bases in the country gives him a truly unique writing voice.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">New York Jets</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>With a fairly manageable schedule and intriguing roster, the New York Jets could theoretically surprise people next season. But they do not necessarily need to clinch a long-awaited playoff berth for the campaign to be considered a success. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-ouster-sign-things-come">A new culture</a> and clear on-field improvement will suffice. Completing those crucial objectives revolves heavily around the quarterback.</p><p>Following the deflating Aaron Rodgers era, which had many problems beyond the future Hall of Famer himself, the Jets are looking to get significantly younger and faster under center. They <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-justin-fields-40-million-contract-free-agency">signed Justin Fields</a> to a two-year, $40 million contract that includes $30 million guaranteed, believing there to be previously unfulfilled promise that is just waiting to bust out. This critical decision could determine how this new regime fares in the Meadowlands.</p><p>With such high stakes, one would assume that adding the supremely athletic yet seemingly limited QB constitutes the Jets’ biggest gamble of the offseason. Not quite. While there are definitely reasons to worry about this commitment — struggled to break out as a passer with both the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers and will now play under a defensive-minded head coach in Aaron Glenn — I understand why management scooped him up.</p><p>Fields’ elite rushing ability can give the offense vital versatility that it has lacked for some time. Moreover, the former Ohio State star is only 26 years old. If he can find consistent success in the pocket, the Jets might have solved their perennial quarterback conundrum for the foreseeable future. Fields’ upside makes this an acceptable wager. But <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-darren-mougey-sends-message-ny-fans-after-taking-gm-job">new general manager Darren Mougey</a> did not hedge his bets.</p><p>When trusting an unpredictable QB, it behooves a team to keep its options open. New York went all in on Fields for this season, boldly opting not to further address the position.</p><h2><b>Jets should have been more flexible<br></b></h2><p>Perennial moribund squads do not regenerate without trying something new. However, choosing not to install a safety net is a dangerous chance to take, one that could further postpone the team’s long-awaited return to relevance.</p><p>Beyond the damage such a risk can do to their own reputations, Mougey and Glenn should consider the distress another misfire can cause for this incredibly patient fan base. Again, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-jets-justin-fields-bears-steelers-fans-raising-eyebrows">Fields has the skill set to succeed</a> in the right situation, but he has a spotty track record that requires management to take precautionary measures.</p><p>Fields is either a wild card who can develop into a long-term starter, or he is there to bridge the gap until the front office finds another franchise quarterback candidate. Based on how New York assembled the QB room, it looks as if the two-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year has a stronghold on the No. 1 slot.</p><p>I am all for building up a young athlete’s confidence, but the Jets cannot afford to give him the keys to the car without also purchasing insurance. If it was not clear by now, these excessive analogies are all intended to drive home an important point that I probably should have spelled out by now. New York could have prepared for all outcomes by simply selecting a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft.</p><h2><b>The front office did not need to put all their chips on Fields</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Justin-Fields.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>When the Jets pick a starting QB, they go out of their way to show how dedicated they are to him. Case in point, when Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles in the opening minutes of his Gang Green debut in 2023, the team’s most suitable backup option was the predecessor who management cast off to the side in order to accommodate the Super Bowl MVP’s arrival. Zach Wilson did enough to help New York earn a thrilling win over the Buffalo Bills, but trouble eventually arose.</p><p>Fields is more promising than the former No. 2 overall pick (were both in 2021 draft class) and he is much more fleet-footed than the 41-year-old Rodgers. He comes with his own issues, however. To his credit, Darren Mougey did sign veteran backup and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-tyrod-taylor-support-role-behind-justin-fields">former Pro Bowler Tyrod Taylor</a> to bring welcome experience to the position group. He does not factor into the squad’s future, though. What is the contingency plan if Fields underwhelms? There is no clear answer to that question.</p><p>Undrafted free agent Brady Cook personally impressed me at the NFL Scouting Combine, displaying more arm talent and accuracy than both the stats and scouts indicated. He also played 47 games in the SEC, so he has faced fierce competition and plenty of NFL-caliber talent. The 23-year-old’s numbers with Missouri leaves much to be desired, however.</p><p>Cook completed less than 63 percent of his passes during his senior campaign, averaging a modest 211.3 passing yards per game and throwing 11 touchdown passes total. He did endure some injuries, including a wrist issue, which could explain why his production precipitously dropped after a solid 2023 season (3,317 passing yards, 29 total TDs). Even so, waiting to add a QB after the draft seems irresponsible.</p><p>Unless Cook was their preferred rookie among the Day 2 and Day 3 choices, the Jets should have used one of their seven picks to select a signal-caller.</p><h2>Did New York pass on a possible starter?</h2><p>If Shedeur Sanders winds up avenging his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/browns-news-browns-shedeur-sanders-reveals-mindset-after-shocking-slide-in-2025-nfl-draft">unprecedented tumble into the fifth round</a> and enjoys success with the Cleveland Browns, the Jets will be one of several franchises that incur ridicule for passing on the polarizing athlete.</p><p>We can give them a little leeway, since the whole league hesitated to snatch him, but considering the tornado of bad optics that Woody Johnson has brought into the Meadowlands during his 25-year tenure as owner, it is odd to see management draw the line here. Regardless, there were other accomplished college quarterbacks who warranted a serious look.</p><p>Syracuse standout Kyle McCord and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/ohio-state-football-news-will-howard-cant-believe-national-champion-incredible-buckeyes-win">national champion Will Howard</a> both went off the board after pick No. 180 ( to the Philadelphia Eagles and Steelers, respectively), and Texas’ Quinn Ewers was the final QB taken at No. 231 (Miami Dolphins). The Jets traded up 10 spots to No. 176, but chose to snag defensive end Tyler Baron instead. That will be another move that draws the front office scrutiny if it does not work out.</p><h2><b>Will the Jets’ trust be rewarded, or are they engaging in blind faith?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Darren-Mougey-and-Aaron-Glenn-with-NY-Jets.jpg"><figcaption>Kevin R. Wexler-NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Even though this crop of QBs did not inspire much confidence from analysts, Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn should have rolled the dice in the fifth or sixth rounds. Justin Fields is making $30 million guaranteed in his new deal after making just six starts for the Steelers in the 2024-25 season. The Jets should be able to grab a backup without worrying about stepping on his toes.</p><p>Besides, one should not discount the advantage of competing against a hungry newcomer in training camp.</p><p>Maybe Brady Cook can provide that challenge himself. Or, maybe Fields will face no pressure whatsoever and keep the job all yearlong. That is the optimal outcome, but it cannot be manufactured. He must earn unquestioned starter status.</p><p>However, because of the Jets’ conservative quarterback approach in the NFL Draft, it may not matter even if he does stumble. They are committed to this voyage, refusing to prepare for overly harsh conditions and putting their trust in an optimistic weather report. And if their forecast is wrong, they will have to wait until the offseason to begin repairs. Hopefully, that will leave enough time for rescue.</p><p>So buckle up, fans. An unknown adventure awaits. It could be a thrillingly triumphant one. But bring a life raft just in case.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
