Darren Mougey: Jets can be competitive and respectable right away

Our Summary

The New York Jets concluded the 2025 NFL season with five consecutive losses, outscored 188-54, raising concerns about the team's direction under head coach Aaron Glenn and General Manager Darren Mougey. Despite the disappointing finish, both Glenn and Mougey retain their positions. In a recent press conference, Mougey expressed confidence in the team's future, citing accumulated draft assets from trading Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams and available salary cap space. Mougey emphasized the potential for immediate competitiveness next season. Addressing the quarterback position remains a priority, with Justin Fields and Brady Cook still under contract. Mougey stated the team will explore all options to improve at quarterback, acknowledging that failure to do so could test patience with the team's leadership.
