Special Teams

Demonstrating their commitment to success this season, the Jets made a bold move by acquiring quarterback Aaron Rodgers and reinforcing their receiving corps with familiar faces from his tenure in Green Bay.
The conclusion of the 2022 season saw the New York Jets achieving a 7-10 record, a significant improvement as it marked their first season with more than five wins since 2019.

While this accomplishment might initially spark optimism, the reality is that the team was hindered by below-par performance from their quarterback. Despite this setback, the Jets showcased an otherwise well-balanced squad, featuring a formidable defense and a promising rookie wide receiver.

The Jets spent $75 million on two-year contract signing 39 year old superstar QB Aaron Rodgers for the team.

Alongside a wealth of returning talent on the defensive front, the Jets hold high expectations within the fiercely competitive AFC East division.

The 2023/24 Jets Roster

With Aaron Rodgers now firmly established as the Jets’ starting quarterback, the 2023 season saw former second overall pick Zach Wilson stepping into a backup role.

Update: Aaron Rodgers suffered a suspected torn Achilles on the Team’s debut vs the Bills. Despite finding a win, this is sure to have implications for the team’s chances of winning the Super Bowl this year as well as Rodgers’ chances to be crowned NFL MVP (a popular sports-betting prop bet)

As the 2023/24 NFL season unfolds, sophomore player Garrett Wilson continues to command the outside position, benefiting from the experience brought by veteran additions to the receiving lineup: Allen Lazard, Mecole Hardman, and Randall Cobb. The seasoned tight end Tyler Conklin completes the passing arsenal, heightening the anticipation for an impressive performance in the upcoming season.

Breece Hall‘s journey to recovery continues following his ACL injury from the previous season. While the Jets hold optimism for his return by Week 1, their approach remains cautious, prioritizing his well-being over a hasty return to the field. In the interim, Michael Carter assumes the starting running back position, with expectations of transitioning to a backup role once Hall is fully back in action.

The Jets’ formidable defense concluded the prior season ranked fourth in defensive scoring, allowing just 18.6 points per game, and also secured fourth place in total yards allowed, with an average of 311.1 yards per game. Leading the defensive line upfront is Quinnen Williams, who recently signed an extension. Taking on the central role as the Mike linebacker is C.J. Mosley. In the secondary, the standout Defensive Rookie of the Year, Sauce Gardner, adds strength with his 20 pass deflections and two interceptions recorded in the 2022 season.

Notable New Jets Signings

The New York Jets officially inked a one-year deal with former Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook, a contract that is said to be valued at as much as $8.6 million, inclusive of potential incentives. This agreement marks the culmination of an extended period of free agency negotiations for Cook. The RB earned Pro Bowl honors each of the last four years.

Players No Longer on the Jets Team Lineup 2023/24

A number of players left the New York Jets for the 2023/24 season due to retirements, signing with other teams, waivers, or being released.
