The New York Jets have been one of the worst teams in the NFL for a while now. They’ve struggled to find a long-term head coach, quarterback, and core of the franchise for a long time now.

After years and years of struggles, they’ve fallen into a cycle that’s decimated their rosters over the years. And this issue is something one NFL executive warned the Jets about continuing to repeat.

Mike Sando of The Athletic shared that one NFL executive warned the Jets about continuing to repeat the same mistakes over and over again when it comes to roster building. But what is this repeated issue for the Jets’ rosters over the years?

“The Jets keep doing the same thing,” one NFL exec said. “They trade good players off their team, they get draft picks, nobody wants to play there, they are a young team, they have to find a journeyman quarterback. Then they bring in all these picks, they can’t find a quarterback still, and then they trade all those players for more picks and still can’t find a quarterback.”

This seemingly endless downward spiral is something the Jets have been trapped in for a while now, and most recently can be seen by the roster moves from Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey in the past year.

Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, Jermaine Johnson, and others were traded away or let walk over the past year, with Breece Hall nearly being dealt as well.

Justin Fields didn’t work out, and now the Jets are trying out Geno Smith again. New York needs to land a new quarterback once more and will likely use an early pick in one of the next two draft classes to do so.

But, if they miss on another quarterback, then a lot of the core of this roster will be traded away to bolster their draft capital, and try again to find a quarterback in a few years.

This issue has been repeating for the Jets for quite some time, dating back before the Sam Darnold days. A revolving door at QB has completely restricted the Jets’ chance to build an actual contender.

The Jets don’t just need a good franchise QB to turn things around, but to finally get out of this seemingly endless cycle of turning good players into draft capital to draft good players, and then turn them into more draft capital in the future.

It’s not a simple solution, as the Jets have struggled to find such a QB for a long time, trapping them in this cycle of churning through good players. This can’t keep going on. The Jets need to change, and ASAP.
