New York is hoping to rise in the AFC East standings this season.
The Jets have finished in last place in the AFC East in five of the last six seasons, and they haven’t made the playoffs since the 2010 season. After such struggles, they entered the offseason wanting to heavily upgrade their roster and compete for a playoff spot.
In free agency, New York added a variety of proven veterans. General manager Joe Douglas agreed to deals with guard Laken Tomlinson, cornerback D.J. Reed and tight ends C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin to add experience to the roster.
Then in the draft, the Jets had one of the more highly-praised classes throughout the league. New York used three first-round picks to select cornerback Sauce Gardner, wide receiver Garrett Wilson and defensive end Jermaine Johnson II.
With an improved roster, the Jets hope that second-year quarterback Zach Wilson can take another step in the right direction. New York also hasn’t won a divisional game in two years, going 0–12 vs. AFC East teams over the past two years.
Robert Saleh’s second year with the Jets is set up so New York shouldn’t be the pushover they’ve been for a while now. With a potentially softer schedule, the Jets could be a sleeper team if things break right.
