Losing stinks. The Jets should be 2-0 right now, but we can’t dwell on that. Here’s something to take your mind off the pain: the Green Bay Packers just got their barn doors blown off by the Atlanta Falcons.
You may be asking yourselves, why would that make me feel better? I’m glad you asked.
The Jets control the Packers’ 2027 first-rounder. General manager Darren Mougey negotiated a key clause into the monster Quinnen Williams trade to the Dallas Cowboys. Whichever pick ends up being better between Green Bay and Dallas will go to the Jets in 2027.
Right now, that would mean the Packers’ pick. The Jets might have hit the lottery. The fans are split every year on whether the team should win or tank. This year, there should be no debate. Let the Cowboys/Packers/Colts lose and root for the Jets to win.
Green Bay has historically been a great regular-season team that rarely loses and rises to the top of the draft. The Jets picked a great year to bet on the Packers’ horse to croak.
