Quarterback Uncertainty and Offensive Struggles

The Jets' decision to replace Aaron Rodgers with Justin Fields on a $40 million deal has sparked skepticism. Fields' inconsistent track record and the absence of Jordan Travis (sidelined with injury) leave the passing game in disarray. The offensive line, once a strength, now ranks among the league's worst after relying on aging veterans like Tyron Smith (34) and rookies like Olu Fashanu. This has stifled star Running Back Breece Hall, contributing to a league-low 3.9 yards per carry average in 2024.

Salary Cap Constraints and Roster Turnover

Entering 2025, the Jets face the NFL's tightest salary cap situation ($14.9M carryover space). Dead money from Rodgers' contract ($49M if released) and Davante Adams' $35.6M cap hit loom large. Cutting Adams could free $30M but risks losing his 1,200-yard production. Key players like Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner face uncertain futures amid extension demands.

Free Agency Challenges

With 20 unrestricted free agents—including Linebacker C.J. Mosley—the Jets must balance short-term needs with long-term rebuilding. General Manager Darren濠杰的选秀策略（优先补充进攻锋线和四分卫深度）将至关重要，但早期选择如Fashanu尚未证明其价值。

Defensive Decline and Coaching Uncertainties

Last year's 12th-ranked defense has weakened due to injuries (Quinnen Williams, Sauce Gardner) and free agency losses (Haason Reddick).新任主教练Aaron Glenn的激进防守体系可能暴露二线漏洞，尤其是依赖新秀如Jaelyn Duncan的情况下。进攻协调员Tanner Engstrand的创意体系在缺乏武器支持下难以为继。

Divisional Competition

在AFC东区，比尔队、海豚队和爱国者队均已完成升级，纽约喷气机队自2002年以来再未赢得分区冠军。博彩公司预测该队本赛季仅能赢5.5场。

Hope Lies in Draft and Youth

尽管前景黯淡，喷气机队手握前十顺位选秀权，有望在进攻锋线（如Will Campbell）和防守二线（如Malaki Starks）补强。核心球员如Pro Bowl外接手Garrett Wilson和顶级角卫Sauce Gardner（健康时）仍是关键。

Conclusion

2025赛季的成败取决于能否稳定四分卫位置、最大化明星球员价值并完成重建。在薪资空间有限和赛程艰难的背景下，平庸表现或成常态。但选秀成功或新秀爆发可能为未来奠定基础。目前，PFF的排名提醒我们：喷气机队的复兴之路依然漫长。
