Wide receiver Mecole Hardman came to the New York Jets in March sporting two Super Bowl rings. Hardman signed a one-year $6.5 million contract with Gang Green and seven months later, he is returning to Kansas City. What happened?

Zach Wilson does not have to lead the New York Jets to victory on Sunday afternoon against the defending NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles to have a successful game. Wilson just can't be the obvious reason that Gang Green loses.

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson Jr. purchased the NFL franchise in 1999. In the first 10 seasons as CEO of New York's AFC organization, Johnson's teams went to the playoffs 6 times. Fast forward and they haven't been back in a dozen years.

New York Jets fans went into the 2023 season with the hopes and dreams of, if not possibly going to the Super Bowl for the first time in 54 years, at least going to the playoffs for the first time in 13 years. Some of the older Gang Green fans went into the 1999 season with similar 'Super' aspirations.

As the team prepared for their final preseason match-up against their stadium roommates, the New York Jets offense took a hit, when veteran wide receiver, Corey Davis announced his retirement. The 28-year old was in the final year of his 3-year/$37.5 million contract with Gang Green. The oft-injured receiver was being counted-on as part of Aaron Rodgers' arsenal.

Beleaguered New York Jets fans have been holding their breath throughout training camp, praying for Aaron Rodgers to survive the dog days of August, injury free. Sunday, head coach Robert Saleh gave them more reason to believe the "other shoe" is bound to drop on Gang Green.

On Wednesday, the New York Jets will be opening their official 2023 training camp, featuring their new aging-star, Aaron Rodgers. Will this version of Gang Green be any different from the past 53-years?

New York Jets head coach was pretty clear that he wanted no part of his football team being featured on the HBO show, 'Hard Knocks'. However, if history repeats itself, it wouldn't be the worst thing.

The state of New Jersey would like to be known for its beautiful beaches that bring the Atlantic Ocean to life for millions each year. However, that wasn't the "Jersey Shore" that the New York Jets brand-new starting quarterback was referring to when he spoke to the media on Tuesday.

The first week of the "Aaron Rodgers New York Jets" has gone better than anyone, even owner Woody Johnson, could have ever imagined. But, is this just the honeymoon period or is Rodgers seizing the opportunity to expand his brand in the advertising capital of the world with a team with a more talented roster than he had in Green Bay? Let's remember that no games have been played yet.

Aaron Rodgers has some history to put in the past for Gang Green fans. It was January 12, 1969 when New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath disappeared into the locker-room waving his one index finger after defeating the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, 16-7.

General manager Joe Douglas and head coach Robert Saleh are weeks away from making a decision that will save or lose their jobs. It will be a decision that could be heavily influenced by owner Woody Johnson but if the choice is the wrong one, the consequences will be squarely on their shoulders.
