The much the franchise leans towards a refresh and rebuild, the little apt it seems that Rodgers volition instrumentality to the squad successful 2025 - particularly considering however the 2024 play has unfolded. Under Douglas, the Jets had immoderate notable draught successes successful identifying talent, overmuch of which came from the 2022 Draft class.
