Keyshawn Johnson said it best: the Aaron Glenn era will mark the creation of a new Jets culture – and Aaron Rodgers and his "diva" ways have no place in it.

Much has been said about how the multiple-time MVP's decision on his future will play into Jordan Travis' prospects of becoming the team's starter in this new era, as explained by Jets X-Factor's Thomas Christopher:

"A change in the staff always complicates things a bit. However, continuity of the quarterback room for another year allows the unit to continue to progress – which is especially important for a player like Travis.

"Considering where the Jets are likely to draft in 2025, it doesn’t make much sense to reach for a quarterback in the first round, either. That should extend the lifeline of Travis in New York, and it could allow him to speak his words into existence and potentially become the eventual starter for the Jets."

But whether it be Travis, Mac Jones, Jaxson Dart or someone else, one thing should be clear: Gang Green needs a change under center moving forward.
