New York Jets players aren\u2019t necessarily being subtle about their glee over moving on from the disastrous 2023 and 2024 seasons into a new era under rookie head coach Aaron Glenn. According to Jets fans, the team\u2019s players seem to be publicly reveling in that fact every chance they get.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media at training camp, running back Breece Hall<\/a> didn\u2019t even put his happiness in football terms, but rather, simple employment terms \u2014 according to Hall, it \u201cfeels a lot better\u201d going to work this year compared to last year.<\/p>\n

Most of Gang Green nation took Hall\u2019s comments \u2014 the latest in a pattern from Jets players this offseason \u2014 as a shot at former head coach Robert Saleh and therefore former quarterback Aaron Rodgers<\/a>, who very evidently took control of the franchise during his two miserable seasons in New York City and populated the team with his washed-up pals such as offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and wide receiver Allan Lazard.<\/p>\n

New York Jets players are seemingly loving life without Robert Saleh and Aaron Rodgers<\/p>\n

Breece Hall says \u201cit feels a lot better\u201d going to work every day, compared to last year. He says there was \u201ca lot of instability around the whole operation\u201d last year. Adds that players have bought into the new coaching staff. #Jets<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMan, it\u2019s so clear how much the team all collectively hated Saleh, Rodgers, Hackett, and Keith Carter,\u201d the top reply to Cimini reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike 80% of the quotes from Jets players talking about last season are just vaguely shading everything about the organization and likely Aaron Rodgers. What a mess 2024 was,\u201d another Jets fan added.<\/p>\n

After the bottom fell out on the Jets last year, the moribund AFC East franchise \u2014 the current owners of the longest playoff drought in American professional sports \u2014 cleared house, as they fired head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas. Then, in March, they had Aaron Rodgers fly out from California to New Jersey for a meeting, where they decided to ultimately go in a different direction.<\/p>\n

Luckily for football fans, Rodgers\u2019 new team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be traveling to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Jets in Week 1.<\/p>\n
