BY ADAM GREENE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Last season the New York Jets figured something out \u2014 they\u2019re a good team, that could be a great team, but only if they had a decent quarterback. Too bad they\u2019d wasted the No. 2 overall pick in 2021 on Zach Wilson, who was not that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, New York entered the offseason with a new focus and a new plan \u2014 trade for Aaron Rodgers and actually compete for something. It was such a compelling move that HBO\u2019s Hard Knocks <\/em>refused to even think about filming another team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We all know what\u2019s happened since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NEW YORK JETS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2022-23 Record:<\/strong> 7-10<\/p>\n\n\n\n Playoffs:<\/strong> N\/A<\/p>\n\n\n\n Presumed Starters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n QB:<\/strong> Zach Wilson (yikes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n RB:<\/strong> Breece Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n WR:<\/strong> Garrett Wilson<\/p>\n\n\n\n WR:<\/strong> Allen Lazard<\/p>\n\n\n\n WR:<\/strong> Randall Cobb<\/p>\n\n\n\n TE:<\/strong> Tyler Conklin<\/p>\n\n\n\n FB:<\/strong> Nick Bawden<\/p>\n\n\n\n LT:<\/strong> Duane Brown<\/p>\n\n\n\n LG:<\/strong> Laken Tomlinson<\/p>\n\n\n\n C:<\/strong> Connor Mcgovern<\/p>\n\n\n\n RG:<\/strong> Alijah Vera-Tucker<\/p>\n\n\n\n RT:<\/strong> Mekhi Bectron<\/p>\n\n\n\n LDE:<\/strong> John Franklin-Myers<\/p>\n\n\n\n LDT:<\/strong> Quenton Jefferson<\/p>\n\n\n\n RDT:<\/strong> Quinnen Williams<\/p>\n\n\n\n RDE:<\/strong> Carl Laweson<\/p>\n\n\n\n WLB:<\/strong> Jamien Sherwood<\/p>\n\n\n\n MLB:<\/strong> CJ Mosley<\/p>\n\n\n\n SLB:<\/strong> Quincy Williams<\/p>\n\n\n\n LCB:<\/strong> Sauce Gardner<\/p>\n\n\n\n RCB:<\/strong> DJ Reed<\/p>\n\n\n\n SS:<\/strong> Jordan Whitehead<\/p>\n\n\n\n FS:<\/strong> Tony Adams<\/p>\n\n\n\n K:<\/strong> Greg Zuerlein<\/p>\n\n\n\n P:<\/strong> Thomas Morstead<\/p>\n\n\n\n PR:<\/strong> Mecole Hardman, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KR:<\/strong> Mecole Hardman, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 NFL Draft: <\/strong>Round 1: Will McDonald IV, Edge, Iowa State, Round 2: Joe Tippmann, Center, Wisconsin, Round 4: Carter Warren, OT, Pittsburgh, Round 5: Israel Abanikanda, RB, Pittsburgh, Round 6: Zaire Barnes, LB, Western Michigan, Round 6: Jarrick Bernard-Converse, CB, LSU, Round 7: Zack Kuntz, TE, Old Dominion<\/p>\n\n\n\n Players Gained:<\/strong> Aaron Rodgers – QB (trade), Dalvin Cook \u2013 RB (FA), Allen Lazard \u2013 WR (FA), Was Schweitzer \u2013 OG (FA), Mecole Hardman, Jr. \u2013 WR (FA), Quinton Jefferson \u2013 DT (FA), AJ Woods \u2013 DT (FA), Adrian Amos \u2013 Safety (FA), Trystan Colon-Castillo \u2013 Center (FA), Billy Turner \u2013 RT (FA), Thomas Morstead \u2013 Punter (FA), Jalyn Holmes \u2013 DT (FA), Dane Cruikshank \u2013 CB (FA), Nick Vigil \u2013 OLB (FA), Sam Eguaveon \u2013 LB (FA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Players Lost:<\/strong> Nathan Shepherd \u2013 DE, Sheldon Rankins \u2013 DT, Nate Herbig \u2013 OG, Mike White \u2013 QB, Braxton Berrios \u2013 WR, Dan Feeney \u2013 OG, George Fant \u2013 RT, Cedric Ogbuehi \u2013 OT, Kwon Alexander \u2013 ILB, Jeff Smith – WR<\/p>\n\n\n\n New York Jets 2023 Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 Super Bowl Odds:<\/strong> +4000<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 AFC Championship Odds:<\/strong> +3300<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 AFC East Odds:<\/strong> +1100<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Team Wins:<\/strong> Over 7.5 (+125), Under 7.5 (-155)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, what a couple of weeks the Jets have had here to open the season. While it\u2019s taken me a while to get through these win predictions, when it comes to New York here, that\u2019s not the worst thing. Aaron Rodgers made it all of four plays in their season opening victory (yes, a win) over the Buffalo Bills. A game in which the Jets would have blown out their AFC rivals and likely head to a division championship at the end of the year. None of that is happening now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a chance the Jets will look at a potential trade, maybe a lame duck Kirk Cousins with a Minnesota Vikings team that is likely heading to a .500-ish record, but I still think they should lean into Zach Wilson. Coach him up, with Rodgers\u2019 help, and see what they have. That was \u201csupposedly\u201d the plan anyway even with a healthy A-Rodge. It\u2019s why they kept Wilson and didn\u2019t trade or cut him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New York might have the best defense in the league, but that\u2019s not going to be enough. Not unless Wilson figures it out, and, while that might happen, it\u2019ll probably take a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023-23 Win Prediction:<\/strong> 6-11<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow Adam Greene on Twitter <\/em>@TheFirstMan<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Connect with us our socials on <\/em>Twitter<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>Instagram<\/em><\/a> for the latest sports news, viral moments, betting odds and the occasional memes.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BY ADAM GREENE Last season the New York Jets figured something out \u2014 they\u2019re a good team, that could be…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":23953,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24294"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24295,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24294\/revisions\/24295"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
