Jets Poised For Fresh 'Restart' Under New Regime

The winds of change have swept through One Jets Drive, with head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey spearheading a new regime for the New York Jets.

Part of that was cleaning out the deadwood with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, along with others, and bringing in Justin Fields and shrewd free agent signings, Andre Cisco, and Brandon Stephens. Things have been moving well for the Jets.

Granted, we are only partway through the offseason, and we have yet to see how the Jets will handle the adversity that will come their way in 2025, but this new regime has laid the foundation for what they hope will be a springboard toward a better future.

And for Fox Sports' Ben Arthur, when using one word to describe New York's offseason, he lands with "restart."

"New coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey head the post-Aaron Rodgers Jets, looking to set the tone for a new culture," Arthur writes. "Former first-round pick Justin Fields is looking to prove that he can be a long-term starting quarterback after stints with the Bears and Steelers."

Fields is the central figure in Glenn's rebuild, and while he has a two-year contract, the Jets have escapability after the 2025 season if things don't work out.

Ideally, they will, and Jets fans hope that Fields can be their guy for the foreseeable future. Granted, Justin hasn't shown at any of his previous spots that he can be "that" guy for the organization he's played with, but maybe New York is where he can have his "Baker Mayfield-like" resurgence.

Yes, that might be a high bar, but Fields does have some weapons around him with Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall, along with a stout offensive line.

Is that enough to make this "restart" work in the Big Apple?

Time will tell.
