Where Will Myles Garrett end up after Trade Request?

How could the Giants keep Joe Schoen after Previous Offseason Blunders?

With the 2024 inaugural season of Hardknocks' Offseason edition came one of the biggest surprises in free agency.

Is the Jets moving on from Aaron Rodgers the best move? Why NOW?

It was reported on Super Bowl Sunday by Jay Glazer and Ian Rapoport that the Jets were moving towards splitting with QB Aaron Rodgers after two seasons. The 41-year-old QB has had quite the tenure with the New York Jets, and the 2023 Offseason Dream of a potential Super Bowl with the ex-Packers QB is now over. The new regime led by GM Darren Mougey and Head Coach Aaron Glenn met with Rodgers last week and told him about his future at One Jets Drive. Rodgers hasn't confirmed if he will return to football next season, but it likely won't be with the Jets. This is a gutsy call from the new regime that could make or break the future of this franchise. Let's break this down:

Finally, It’s Over: The Jets defeat Dolphins in Season Finale, 32-20.

And just like that, the most disappointing season in Jets history has come to an end. Yes, the Jets have had other stupendously disappointing seasons throughout the entire team's history, but 2024-25 has been one of a kind. From Super Bowl aspirations to chasing a top 5 pick and rebooting the franchise, the Jets have seen it all this season. We've had midseason coaching changes and firings, GM firings, leaked stories about ownership, and player drama, which could lead to them being on the way out. With all of this looming over Jets fans' heads, one game remained. It was a new game, a new year, and it was against the playoff-hopeful Miami Dolphins.

Finally the Jets get over the hump: Jets defeat Jaguars 32-25

From Halloween to nearly Christmas week, the Jets have been on a four-game losing streak throughout November and early December. It wasn't enough to close out games even with emerging young talent like LT Olu Fashanu, EDGE Will McDonald IV, RB Braelon Allen, and RB Isaiah Davis. Besides the loss to Arizona that started this losing streak, every game was a one-score game in which the Jets blew leads.
