Aaron Glenn insists that he has a plan. That the Jets have a plan. That even if 1-7 and a deadline selloff doesn’t look like it, there’s some semblance of direction and on-the-same-page thinking at 1 Jets Drive.
General manager Darren Mougey didn’t want to call it a teardown, but after trading Sauce Gardner (to the Colts) and Quinnen Williams (to the Cowboys), the Jets are positioned with two first-round picks next year, two second-round picks next year and three first-round picks in 2027.
That’s a lot of draft capital. That’s a lot of potential for selecting franchise-altering players — and maybe a quarterback. Mougey will have swing after swing to get Glenn cornerstones to execute his plan and make the Jets relevant again.
