In the recent blockbuster story by SI’s Albert Breer explaining the Jets’ thinking in moving on from QB Aaron Rodgers, this paragraph caught many people’s attention:
“For Rodgers, conversely, it means being with a team that will lean into winning right now, the way the Jets have the last couple years and the way the Broncos and Buccaneers did years ago behind Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Whether or not that sort of team will be out there for Rodgers is an open question. But after the last two years, the Jets weren’t going to be that team again.”
So what does this mean, the Jets aren’t going to “lean into winning right now?”
As former Jets GM Joe Douglas said early on the job in Florham Park – “If you are not trying to win a Super Bowl every year, you shouldn’t be in this business.”
He’s right. You owe that to your fans and players.
The Washington Commanders showed last year that even when you hit the reset button, you can “lean into winning right now.”
So the Jets do need to “lean into winning right now.”
And knowing what a great competitor Aaron Glenn is, they likely will.
