The New York Jets have had a slow start to free agency, leading to fan apprehension. Despite not signing big names, there’s still hope for the 2025 season. The Jets' cautious approach is due to the financial implications from restructuring contracts over the past two years, particularly with high-profile players like Aaron Rodgers and CJ Mosley. With a first-year head coach and GM, the focus appears to be on balancing immediate competitiveness while maintaining future resources.

Notably, the Jets possess several core players who are entering their prime years, such as Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall, providing a foundation for potential improvement. The coaching staff is also expected to play a vital role, with an emphasis on establishing high standards and accountability, which could lead to better performance than last season's five-win total.
