After watching the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs in dominating fashion in Super Bowl 59, the 2025 NFL offseason started for the NY Jets as the new regime in Florham Park, with Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey ready to transform the Jets into their vision. Hopefully, their vision includes ending a 14-year playoff drought that has Jets fans suffering for far too long.
With it confirmed that the Jets and Aaron Rodgers will be parting ways this off-season, it only shows how serious Glenn and Mougey are with changing the culture and image of an organization over at Florham Park. Retaining Rodgers wouldn’t have harmed the Jets in the sense that he would’ve been a great QB to start their Jets tenure. His 28/11 TD/INT ratio and 3,897 passing yards in the 2024-25 season, is something we don’t see from Jets QBs that often. But in the end, Glenn and Mougey made it clear with their intent to shape up the roster in their image, and moving on from Rodgers shows that.
In the 2025 NFL offseason, the Jets will have about 28 players to hit the open market, including unrestricted and restricted free agents. Most of the free agents listed are unlikely to return to Gang Green.
DJ Reed, who would be a number one candidate to be retained by the Jets, has expressed his desire to leave the organization and test free agency. Following the 40-14 loss in the week 17 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Reed told Tyler Dunne of Go Long “I’m ready to see what’s next for me”.
The tackle position will be something Darren Mougey will have to address. Tyron Smith is unlikely to return and while Morgan Moses wouldn’t hurt to re-sign due to his locker room presence and toughness as a player, the Jets should do their best to solidify the offensive line position to the best of their abilities by getting younger at the position.
