These Two New York Jets Are On the Hot Seat Already

The New York Jets haven't played so much as a single down of preseason football yet, and already there are two of them who are on the hot seat.

This week on the Two-Minute Drill, Jim Monaghan and Chris Swendeman were joined by Daily News Jets beat reporter Antwan Staley to talk about what's happening with the Jets so far in training camp.

This kind of goes without saying.

When he was traded to the team prior to the 2023 season, expectations were high - both with the players and the fans. For a team that hadn't been to a Super Bowl since Joe Namath led them to an improbable victory over the Baltimore Colts in 1969, and after years of frustration trying to find a quarterback who could get them back there, Aaron Rodgers was THE GUY.

Here was a 4-time NFL Most Valuable Player who had won a Super Bowl with career statistics that put him among the game's elite quarterbacks.

And then came Game One of the regular season.

Four plays into the game, Rodgers was gone, and so were the Jets' hopes.

Rodgers has always brought a lot of baggage with him, and coming into the 2024 season, it's no different.

Family issues, some "unique" positions on medicine and politics, skipping the team's 2024 mini camp - it's all there.

Fans are impatient, and if the team gets off to a rough start in 2024, expect them to make a lot of noise.

Hired by the Jets as their new head coach in January 2021, Saleh brought what appeared to be a solid coaching resume with him - as an assistant coach he had appeared in two Super Bowls and won a ring in one.

The first year was a disastrous 4-13 season, followed by a 7-10 record in 2022.

And then once Rodgers was injured, it was all Saleh could do to help keep the team from a complete collapse, finishing 7-10 again.

Should the Jets get off to a rough start, expect a lot of heat to be directed in the head coach's direction.
