With the hiring of Mike Tannenbaum and Rick Spielman as consultants, the Jets are shaking up their search for a new general manager and head coach. This podcast episode dives into the evolving role of the NFL general manager, highlighting the increasing importance of analytics and diverse skill sets.

The move has pros and cons. It is clear the current ownership was always going to need to rely on help in searching for the team’s next general manager and head coach. Tannenbaum understands how to work within the confines of the Jets organization. Can he and Spielman set the team...

The chaos around the Jets just keeps getting worse

Questions are often quite simple to answer, at least when you’re comfortable giving the correct/honest answer.

For example, if someone asked me “Hey, IMissFatRex, which NFL team do you root for?” I would say “The New York Jets.” A simple, clear answer to a simple question.

This week, New York Jets head coach Jeff Ulbrich was asked a simple question in light of a recent report that did not reflect well on the team. That question pertained to whether safety Tony Adams was benched in part because of the prompting of...

Catching up on some ex-Jets

Now that the bye week is here, it’s time to update you on former Jets players and how they are faring with their current teams. Having looked at offensive and defensive players last week, we’ll be moving on to look at special teamers today.

As ever, this list is intended to be exhaustive, but if we missed anyone, let us know in the comments.

Kickers

The Jets have several ex-kickers doing a good job around the NFL, although they had mixed fortunes this weekend.

Nick Folk, Tennessee Titans

Folk, who led the NFL in field...

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

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. The New York Jets have engaged the services of The 33rd Team to find their next head coach and general manager. For those who aren’t aware, that organization is run by former Jets’ general manager Mike Tannenbaum. The organization was hired by the Washington Commanders to find their current staff. However, there’s a lot to be critical of in this move. This is something that should have never gone public. Beyond that, the organization...

The Los Angeles Chargers host the Baltimore Ravens tonight on Monday Night Football

Monday Night Football, Week 12. Tonight the Los Angeles Chargers host the Baltimore Ravens. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 pm EDT. The Ravens are 2.5 point road favorites against the Chargers according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

The 7-4 Baltimore Ravens come into this game off a tough 18 - 16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. They have dropped two of their last four games after winning their prior five straight. The Ravens have turned common perceptions about them on their head this year. Ordinarily we think...

Tannenbaum is now part of the search for a new general manager.

The Jets are retaining the services of former general manager Mike Tannenbaum to help in the search for a new GM.

The people running these searches frequently target people they know. There is no indication at this point that previous ties to Tannenbaum are a prerequisite to landing the job. Still, it is worth familiarizing ourselves with the names of people in the NFL who both have been recently mentioned as general manager candidates and have a history of working with Tannenbaum.

Brian Gaine, Bills assistant general manager:...

The Jets look to move on from Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh into an uncertain future

The New York Jets will be looking for a new quarterback in 2025 as the team moves in a new direction. The brief Aaron Rodgers era was a futile attempt by the Jets to save face after numerous poor decisions made by this management team. In the end it failed miserably, with the Jets further in the hole against the rest of the NFL.

As of now nobody has any idea who the next Jets head coach or general manager will be. Future needs...

Tannenbaum served as Jets general manager from 2006 through 2012.

The Jets are retaining former general manager Mike Tannenbaum and former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman to work on their search for a new general manager according to multiple reports. Both men are part of the NFL website The 33rd Team.

The 33rd Team is a website that offers interesting analytical articles on the inner workings of the NFL along with advanced statistics. This is the first time they have been directly involved in a general manager search, although Spielman was an advisor to the Washington Commanders a year ago...

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

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Shout out to Mr. Wells for holding down the fort over the weekend as usual. The New York Jets may have had a bye this past week, but that didn’t stop them from being the butt of jokes yet again. Owner Woody Johnson put on his best Jerry Jones impression when firing Joe Douglas, appearing at the practice facility from a helicopter. On top of that, another ‘report’ from The Athletic has once again...

The Jets return from their bye to take on the Seattle Seahawks

The New York Jets were mercifully on their bye week this week, thus sparing their fans another crushing defeat. Last week the Jets lost to the Indianapolis Colts when they couldn’t stop one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL, Anthony Richardson, from putting together a game-winning touchdown drive in the last two minutes of the game. It was the Jets’ seventh loss in their last eight games, and it ended whatever playoff delusions the Jets may once have had.

The loss moved the Jets into a...

A large majority of fans do not want the quarterback to return in 2025.

Each week we ask Jets fans to give us their opinions on the team by voting in surveys we call SB Nation Reacts. Now let’s check out this week’s results.

It has been a long and difficult season for the Jets. The team’s plans have mostly failed. Most of the plans were built around quarterback Aaron Rodgers. We asked Jets fans whether the team should try to run it back with Rodgers in 2025 or whether it is time to turn the page. The result was...

Week 12 of Sunday Night Football features a matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles

Sunday Night Football, Week 12. Tonight we have the Los Angeles Rams hosting the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are 3 point road favorites according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

The 5-5 Los Angeles Rams come into this game off a 28 - 22 victory over the lowly New England Patriots. The Rams have won four of their last five games after opening the season losing four of five. The Rams are a team that is mediocre in most aspects of the game. They rank...
