Reasons to believe in these Jets — and to be worried

The 2025 Jets season takes another step Wednesday when the team conducts its first training-camp practice.

The season opener against the Steelers on Sept. 7 is rapidly approaching. The expectations for the Jets are tempered this season compared to the past few years when Aaron Rodgers raised the preseason hype to high levels and then the team had disappointing seasons.

This year, it feels like fans are cautiously optimistic. There is hope that Aaron Glenn and the new coaching staff can flip the culture around and end the 14-year playoff drought. There is hope that Justin Fields can be the latest former first-round pick to figure things out with another team.

But fans also know this team has holes and won just five games last season.
