Three biggest takeawaysA much lower-key campaign. After the league spent the past two seasons jamming the Jets into every prominent viewing window, despite results that didn’t match the hype, the departure of Aaron Rodgers and the arrival of all-business coach Aaron Glenn mean the volume is about to be lowered on Gang Green’s profile. This season, the Jets play just twice in prime time (Monday night and Thursday night) and have a game in London. Every other scheduled game is slated for the 1 p.m. Sunday window. Glenn has said he wants to move in silence — the schedule-makers gave him a hand. The Fields/Rodgers revenge game. The schedule-makers have a sense of humor. Let’s assume Rodgers does, in fact, sign with the Steelers. That makes the Week 1 game delicious, as New York opens the season hosting Pittsburgh. The Steelers originally wanted to keep Justin Fields, despite benching him in favor of Russell Wilson last season. Fields left for the Jets instead. Now, Rodgers is poised to take his place in Pittsburgh. So much drama. Measuring stick. An awful lot has changed around the Jets this offseason — new coach, new GM, new QB, even a new punter. Week 2, at home against the Bills, provides a good early barometer of where this team stands. Nobody in Florham Park views this as a rebuilding season. This game will give us an early indication if they are right.NFL Research note
The Jets open the season with three straight games against playoff teams from the 2024 campaign, but they face five consecutive squads that missed the postseason in Weeks 13-17.
