Insider Suggests Jets Season Could Result in Aaron Glenn Being Canned

Last season, there was no debate that the New York Jets were one of the least talented teams in the NFL. 

We could look at the roster a season ago and suggest that the Jets just weren't going to be a team that had any chance of competing at any sort of high level. Unfortunately for the organization, that resulted in moving on from some very good players. 

Trading guys like Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, and others is never the preferred outcome. It's always fair to suggest that the Jets want to keep talented players like that around because they help them win more, as long as they have the right pieces surrounding them. 

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, and the Jets had to make some business decisions that made sense.

Looking at this year's roster, it's hard to say the Jets should be as bad as they are. 

They currently sit at 2-6 and are coming off two disgusting losses against the Miami Dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders, two teams they should be able to take care of business against this year. 

Not that the Dolphins and Raiders are the worst teams we've ever seen, but they're two of the worst in the NFL, especially Miami. 

It's almost tough to continue to justify what we've seen from this team from September to now, which ultimately falls on head coach Aaron Glenn. 

According to the latest, as the Jets approach the trade deadline, it's possible that Glenn could eventually lose his job. 

A lot of the decisions made at this year's trade deadline are going to determine how the Jets play over the next couple of months, so Glenn is going to have to hope things go in his favor.

“Ultimately, the Gardner and Williams trades won’t be judged until the Jets use all the draft picks — and even then it’s unfair to completely evaluate draft picks for a couple of years after players are selected. The early returns have been good on Mitchell, Sadiq and Cooper, even if it hasn’t translated to wins.

“The Jets are 2-6 — they were 1-7 at this time last year — and the current road they are on likely ends with Glenn getting fired. Mougey is more likely to get a chance to see these deals through. The trade deadline looms next week, with rumblings that the Jets might (or should) move stars like Garrett Wilson or Breece Hall. The team — both privately and publicly — insists that’s not happening and that they don’t intend to be active at this year’s deadline (though, as Mougey showed last year, nothing is ever completely off the table),” Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic wrote.

On the one hand, I think we can all admit that Glenn losing some of these guys would be viewed as a bad thing from his perspective. 

However, I believe most fans would also suggest that Glenn has been given more than enough time with some talent on his roster to suggest that he can't be too upset if the general manager, Darren Mougey, does what he believes needs to be done. 

It's been a very disappointing season, and it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime soon, but things might be even uglier if the Jets decide to move on from guys.
