Overview
- Glenn’s culture overhaul included releasing Aaron Rodgers, a move some Jets players told ESPN they “respected” as tone-setting.
- Justin Fields starts on a two-year, $40 million deal after a light preseason and uneven camp, with new OC Tanner Engstrand calling plays.
- The offense is built to “live on the ground” behind Breece Hall, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, supported by top-line investments like rookie Armand Membou.
- Steve Wilks’ defense returns as the backbone with Quinnen Williams up front, Will McDonald IV off a 10.5-sack season, and Jermaine Johnson back from injury.
- Week 1 pits Fields against Rodgers and the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 7 at MetLife, a matchup Glenn has downplayed as outside noise.
