The New York Jets are facing significant salary-cap implications regarding Aaron Rodgers' potential return in 2025. If he retires or is cut, the Jets could incur a $49 million dead charge, while keeping him would lead to a $63 million dead charge in 2026 due to an option bonus. Owner Woody Johnson's decision to hire former GM Mike Tannenbaum for the search process has raised eyebrows, but he aims to bring in experienced candidates.

Additionally, the Jets are struggling with their offensive performance, particularly on opening drives. Defensive tackle Leonard Williams has found success with the Seattle Seahawks after being traded to the Giants. Meanwhile, cornerback Sauce Gardner reflects on the recent firings within the organization.
