How will they get bang for their buck? That was the main question surrounding the New York Jets entering 2025 free agency. While the Jets were not exactly lacking cap space, they were not poised to go on a spending spree. The Jets are still dealing with (and will continue to deal with) large amounts of dead money from win-now moves they made over the past two years. They have a number of talented young players who are due for extensions soon.

The New York Jets’ signing of cornerback Brandon Stephens has come under scrutiny for its questionable value. However, their other defensive back signing is arguably their best value move of 2025 thus far. Comparing these two contracts and players side-by-side illustrates how teams should and should not play the bargain-hunting game in free agency. New York scooped up former Jaguars safety Andre Cisco on a reasonable one-year, $10 million contract.

Justin Fields is the next quarterback of the New York Jets, which means it’s time to dive into his film. In this review, we will be focusing on Fields’ first three starts of the 2024 season (Weeks 1-3). Fields has shown inconsistency with his accuracy on the run. He relies heavily on his legs and scrambling, especially on third downs. Fields tends to process information slowly after his first read, often hesitating and taking longer than needed to make decisions.

“Know your opponent.” Every NFL coach takes these three words seriously, yet the varying degrees to which coaches investigate this core principle vary drastically. This is especially true when opponent knowledge leads to a mandate to alter on-field play. Some coaches are hesitant to change much on a weekly basis, whereas others wholly believe in the chameleon nature Bill Belichick committed to and championed with the New England Patriots.

Garrett Wilson entered 2024 with massive expectations. After a strong 2023 campaign despite a chaotic quarterback situation, many were hoping for him to take a huge leap with the New York Jets, especially given the return of Aaron Rodgers. However, much like his 2023 season, 2024 was a rollercoaster for Wilson – and most of it was not smooth-sailing. Let’s break it down.

Fourth-year linebacker Jamien Sherwood is one of the brighter spots from the New York Jets’ 2024 season. Serving as a full-time starter for the first time in his career due to C.J. Mosley’s injuries, Sherwood has emerged as one of the Jets’ best defensive players. Still only 24 years old, Sherwood can be one of the Jets’ long-term building blocks defensively.

As the New York Jets play out the string of the 2024 season, the fanbase’s attention will be mostly focused on key long-term pieces such as Olu Fashanu and Will McDonald (who both dominated in the team’s latest game). However, one of the most important players for New York to evaluate is a 31-year-old wide receiver with six Pro Bowls to his name: Davante Adams.

At this point of the 2024 season, every New York Jets game is about the future. And after the Jets’ latest loss, this time a blown 15-point lead to the Seattle Seahawks, it is time for New York to be honest about its future – particularly regarding quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The All-22 film from this game is not kind to Rodgers. After reviewing his film against Seattle, there should be no remaining questions about whether New York should consider bringing him back in 2025.

We’re at the point of the season where the New York Jets’ win-loss results matter less than the long-term implications of how certain individual players are performing. And in that regard, Sunday’s outing was a tremendous one for New York despite the 26-21 loss. The Jets’ defeat largely fell on the shoulders of then-40-year-old Aaron Rodgers, who crossed the bridge to 41 today.
