The Jets have gone from “In Aaron We Trust” to “In Aaron We Trust” as their team philosophy this offseason.
Gang Green has moved on from Aaron Rodgers after going all in on the four-time MVP quarterback the last two years and moved to going all-in on new coach Aaron Glenn.
That is the takeaway from the Jets’ early free-agency strategy. The Jets are banking on Glenn’s ability to coach players up. General manager Darren Mougey signed players who have flashed potential hoping that Glenn and his staff can turn that potential into production.
You can start with quarterback Justin Fields, who has teased what he can do with the Bears and the Steelers. The Jets are now hoping he can be the next Sam Darnold/Baker Mayfield reclamation project. Kevin O’Connell has gotten a lot of credit for Darnold’s resurgence. Mayfield’s two offensive coordinators in Tampa Bay — Dave Canales and Liam Coen — are both now head coaches.
