After a great offseason, the New York Jets are entering the 2022 season with high expectations for both the short- and long-term. The roster is established. Only two of the 80 players on the Jets’ roster played in the NFL after the 2010 season, the last time they reached the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Linebacker C.J. Mosley declared the 2022 season to be “playoffs or bust” despite the past. They have missed the playoffs for 11 straight seasons, which is both the longest ongoing skid in the NFL and the longest streak in team history.<\/p>\n

When the Jets competed in their lone Super Bowl in January 1969, Saleh, now 43, had not yet been born. He and general manager Joe Douglas have given the organization a sense of hope and confidence.<\/p>\n

New York Jets with big optimism ahead of 2022 season<\/h2>\n

“I still believe we\u2019re going to win championships here,”<\/em> said<\/a> Saleh. He likes to say that their roster was “built, not bought.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I feel like we’re certainly a more talented team than we’ve ever been,”<\/em> said Douglas.<\/p>\n

The New York Jets haven’t recently participated in a significant late-season contest. You have to go back to 2015 when the Bills ended their season on a penultimate day and dashed their postseason dreams. Since then, September and October tend to seem like the end of the seasons.<\/p>\n
