The New York Jets are trying to look for redemption. Last season ā€˜ended’ abruptly in the fourth play of the opener against the Buffalo Bills when Aaron Rodgers suffered an Achilles injury.

Since that moment, there were no answer for head coach Robert Saleh. He tried with many names at the quarterback position, but none of them worked. Zach Wilson, Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian.

In all this chaos, one thing was undeniable. The Jets had to fix the offensive line if they wanted to have a real shot at winning the Super Bowl in 2024. That’s why New York went for a big name in the NFL and, in the process, delivered a huge hit to the Dallas Cowboys.
