The task laid at the feet of new head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey for the New York Jets was never going to be a quick fix.<\/p>\n

With a franchise starved of success and a culture that was, shall we say, less than ideal, especially in the past two seasons, there was a lot to clean up.<\/p>\n

Glenn and Mougey have been trimming the fat this offseason and aiming for a more youthful look with their roster as they try to turn this embattled ship around.<\/p>\n

Justin Fields is the key figurehead, with the former first-round pick tasked with leading the franchise in what he hopes will be a resurgent season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But now that the full NFL schedule has dropped, everyone is making their predictions, and for Matt Verderame, he has a 5-12 record for New York in Glenn’s first year.<\/p>\n

“This is a rebuilding year for the Jets, who have a new general manager, coach and quarterback,” he writes. “New York is the worst team in the division and the schedule isn\u2019t going to do them many favors, having to play a third-place slate with games against the Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys. Both of those teams are better than Miami\u2019s current edition.”<\/p>\n

“Worst team”? To optimistic Jets fans … that stings.<\/p>\n

A 5-12 record for most feels about right, especially when looking at the AFC East and the rest of the schedule.<\/p>\n

But even before we knew who the Jets were playing and where, it was always going to be a tricky season, one full of teaching moments and foundation-building from Glenn.<\/p>\n

He wants the Jets to play in his image and to establish a new grinding culture, and that doesn’t happened overnight, it takes time.<\/p>\n

And the 2025 prediction by Verderame reflects that.<\/p>\n

Yes, the Jets’ offseason has had some positive aspects, but the 2025 season is going to be tough sledding.<\/p>\n
