"There's mistakes that I made that I won't replicate going into this season. The tags are an option. Ideally, we'd find a way to get a deal done and keep Breece around. We've been going through that process and are still doing so. We have a week to find out if we can't get to an agreement which way we'll go with that tag."
"There's a narrative about Woody that really needs to change. I spoke to Johnson about his vision for the coaching staff and team and Johnson said, 'What can I do to help you? What can I do to help you be successful?' I feel fortunate to be in a position to have an owner that operates that way."
Aaron Glenn, the Jets head coach, reflected on his disappointing 3-14 inaugural season and committed to correcting mistakes moving forward. The Jets face significant pressure to improve in 2026 to retain Glenn's position. General manager Darren Mougey outlined the team's strategy regarding running back Breece Hall, indicating they will use either the franchise tag or transition tag by March 3 if contract negotiations prove unsuccessful. The franchise tag carries approximately $14.5 million and guarantees draft compensation, while the transition tag costs $11.7 million with a seven-day matching window. Glenn also addressed narratives surrounding owner Woody Johnson, defending the owner's support and clarifying that Johnson encouraged Glenn to pursue his coaching vision rather than imposing restrictions on staff decisions.
