Time to choose a 2025 AGOP champion

The 12th Annual Gang Green Nation Offseason Plan Contest is now in the books. We wish to thank all those who took the time and effort to engage in the complex and difficult task of thinking through an integrated plan for the 2025 New York Jets offseason, including salary cap management, trades, roster cuts and the draft. This stuff isn’t easy, and perhaps it gives everyone who participated a bit of appreciation for how difficult the GM job is. We had an unusually low number of entrants this year. Picking the finalists is...

Background

Okorafor was a native of Nigeria, whose family travelled to the US from Botswana in 2010....

In short, Andre Cisco will be a...

The Jets need a quarterback. Could Shedeur Sanders fit the bill?

This feels like a weird article to write. On one hand, it seems like a zero percent chance to me that quarterback Shedeur Sanders makes it to pick 7 so why even bother to write an article related to it? On the other hand, some well-respected mock drafters have him falling that far and I’ve even seen some New York Jets fans say that they wouldn’t want him if he was there. So why not discuss what they should do if he goes that far since there seems to...

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York teams are hurting at quarterback. The New York Giants signed Russell Wilson yesterday. Wilson will join Jameis Winston as veteran quarterback reclamation projects for the Giants. The New York Jets have a couple of veteran quarterback reclamation projects of their own in Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor. Of these four quarterbacks Justin Fields has the most potential upside, but that’s not saying much. I sure am looking forward to the day the Jets have an unquestioned young stud at quarterback. That has...

Leave questions for this week’s mailbag in the cleverly marked “comments” section.

Aaron Glenn has a plan to drag this franchise towards consistent winning

For 14 straight years the New York Jets have missed the NFL playoffs. For years the team has been the butt of jokes around the league for a multitude of reasons. While some of that mockery can be absurd, a lot of it is justified. You’ll find few teams performing as miserably as the Jets have over the past decade. Even fewer whose fans annually go through the rigmarole of convincing themselves that “this is the year”, despite multiple years of evidence depicting otherwise. This isn’t to knock...

Taking a look at the Jets’ new tight end

The Jets signed former Chargers tight end Stone Smartt to a one-year contract during the first week of free agency. Today we break Smartt down in detail.

The 26-year old Smartt is listed at 6’4” and 226 pounds. He was undrafted out of Old Dominion in 2022. He’s mostly been a reserve over the course of his three-year career, but he has started six games and caught 31 passes for 380 yards and a touchdown.

Background

Smartt began his career as a quarterback and wasn’t a highly-sought after high school recruit...

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning Gang Green Nation! After the Jets signed Justin Fields to a two year contract worth up to $40 million in free agency it was assumed that Fields would start for the Jets in 2025. Maybe the Jets would bypass the quarterback position in the 2025 draft and take one who could learn behind Fields for a year in 2026. Now, however, more and more quarterbacks are being linked to the Jets. From Shedeur Sanders to Jaxson Dart to Quinn Ewers to Tyler Shough and more, there’s a lot...
