The Jets brought in former Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their new head coach, hoping his defensive pedigree and leadership qualities can turn around a franchise mired in dysfunction. Glenn inherits a roster with talent but a locker room that has been plagued by drama and underperformance.
Aaron Rodgers' time with the Jets ended in disappointment, with the future Hall of Famer retiring after a 6-11 season that never lived up to the hype. New York is now searching for a quarterback — again — and the cycle of Jets dysfunction threatens to continue unless the new regime can break the pattern.
