More news: Patriots Are Officially Bringing Back Josh McDanielsGlenn now has the tall task of turning around a Jets organization that has been wrought with issues for multiple years. Despite having a ton of talent on both sides of the ball, the team has not emerged in the way that most predicted them to.The good news is the Jets have the No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, along with a projected $15 million over the cap for 2025. With a few moves, the team can have even more to work with in terms of helping to rebuild.The first decision that Glenn will need to make is what to do with Aaron Rodgers.

He definitely has his work cut out for him.More NFL:Ben Johnson Finalizing Deal to Become Next Head Coach of Chicago BearsFor more on the Jets, head to Newsweek Sports.
