The Jets concluded a 3-14 season and held a season-ending press conference where head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey stressed that a year of experience in their roles matters. Both said they have learned from the season and will use those lessons in upcoming evaluations. The team completed exit interviews with players and plans meetings with scouting and coaching staffs this week. Glenn and Mougey did not detail every mistake but pointed to specific moves they plan to re-examine.
Key details:
- The Jets finished 3-14 and lost their final five games, with the team recording an unusually poor December margin of defeat.
- The club signed quarterback Justin Fields to a two-year deal that did not produce the desired results; the article reports he will likely be cut this offseason.
- The Jets hold the No. 2 overall pick and acquired substantial draft capital at the trade deadline from the Colts and Cowboys, including multiple first-round selections and additional picks and pieces.
- The defense went a full 17 games without an interception under defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, who was dismissed before the season ended.
- Glenn praised the special teams unit led by Chris Banjo and the club’s additions such as Jowon Briggs, Harrison Phillips, Jarvis Brownlee, and 2025 first-round pick Armand Membou.
- The organization plans roster and staff evaluations; Wink Martindale is mentioned as an expected candidate for defensive coordinator, with other recently available coaches also noted.
Summary:
Glenn and Mougey framed their priority as applying what they learned in Year One to improve the team, citing roster moves to review and a wide set of options for the quarterback position including the draft, trades and free agency. The immediate next steps are internal evaluations with scouting and coaching staffs and further decisions on coaching personnel and the roster, with specific outcomes undetermined at this time.
