The New York Jets are heading into the 2024 season with a new perspective and a desire for a quieter journey after a challenging year of high expectations. The team's head coach, Robert Saleh, expressed his preference for a more low-key approach compared to the previous season, which was filled with hype and noise.

Last year, the Jets found themselves in the spotlight as they were featured on the popular documentary series "Hard Knocks." Anticipation was high, especially with the addition of quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the team. Unfortunately, Rodgers' departure due to an early injury derailed the Jets' chances of success and was widely considered a failure.

Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Coach Saleh remains optimistic, particularly about the progress Rodgers has made in his rehabilitation. While the quarterback is taking time for himself in California, Saleh believes Rodgers is preparing to make a strong comeback and is excited to lead the team.

Prior to the recent developments, there were rumors of Rodgers potentially becoming the running mate of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for political office. However, those speculations quickly dissipated, allowing the Jets to refocus their attention on the football field and their goals for the season.

Although the schedule appears less formidable than last year, the Jets will still face challenging opponents. They will go head-to-head with the teams in their own division twice, along with all four teams of both the NFC West and the AFC South. Additionally, they will face the Steelers, Broncos, and Vikings.

The key to the Jets' success this season will heavily rely on the health and performance of their aging players in pivotal positions. With a grueling 17-game regular season ahead, as well as potential postseason play, staying healthy will be vital.

Failure to meet expectations this year could spell significant changes for the players, coaching staff, and executives within the organization. With owner Woody Johnson's payroll on the line, the Jets are determined to fulfill their goals and bounce back from their previous disappointments.

As the Jets gear up for the 2024 season, they understand the importance of managing expectations and embracing a quieter approach. With renewed determination and a focused mindset, they aim to accomplish what they were supposed to achieve a year ago.
