The Jets are excited for their debut season with Aaron Glenn as their new head coach. And it appears that the team’s new leader is already brainstorming new ideas for modifications. On January 22, 2025, the team assigned Glenn to replace Robert Saleh. Since then he has become the team’s 22nd head coach in history. And it seems like the man is not trying to move some league players in his team, but rather to bring someone fresh on board. Wait, does this imply he’ll be attending the NFL Combine?

Yes, that’s what it exactly means. Aaron Glenn has decided to attend the 2025 NFL Combine, which will take place in Indianapolis. The head coach will be looking for a large number of CFB players, and his main focus will be on young quarterbacks. Glenn attending the Combine is a big thing because Robert Saleh was uninterested in it. According to reports, Saleh skipped this event twice out of the last three times. And the reason remains unknown for why he did that.

Reporter Connor Hughes stated, “#Jets HC Aaron Glenn & GM Darren Mougey will be at the NFL Combine this week. Robert Saleh did not attend two of the last three combines. He came for a couple of days last year but did not speak to the media. Adam Gase was the last one to attend fully. I personally never felt it was a big deal that Saleh did not go, but many fans did. Now everyone can be happy!”

The NFL Combine is only the beginning of the season. After that, there is the NFL Draft and it will feature record-breaking quarterbacks. The Jets will have the seventh pick in the draft and that is somewhere an issue for them. Consider this: what if they fall in love with a rookie quarterback at the NFL Combine and another team signs him first? That would lead to a major concern for Aaron Glenn, and the team would look for a short-term answer. As a result, they will be able to make pricey signings through free agency that will be up by next month.

This is precisely why many reporters are speculating that the team may make a trade. And it appears that the team already has a potential name for itself. So, who is this quarterback?

Can Aaron Glenn go with Matthew Stafford or Kyler Murray?

When talking about good quarterbacks available for trade. Stafford and Murray are the top two contenders for any team. Both are bankable players and with proper management and rhythm, they can be destructive. Analyst Ian Valentino has also advised that the Jets go with these two rather than a new quarterback. The reporter said that they should contact either the Patriots or the Giants to receive one of these. After that, they can look for a cheaper rookie quarterback who can serve as a backup. In this approach, they will have a win-win situation with minimal risk.

Ian Valentino explained the situation by stating, “The Jets must get on the phone with the (New York Giants) and (New England Patriots) to hammer out a deal to bring their next franchise quarterback into the building. The only alternatives are to trade for a veteran like Kyler Murray or Matthew Stafford or hope that a Day 2 option like Jalen Milroe or Will Howard can become one of the rare mid-rounders to become more than a stopgap starter.”

Aaron Glenn is someone who always looks out for news and potential trends in the NFL. As of now, Valentino’s words are something that everyone cannot stop talking about. This means that the HC is aware of the situation. So you should expect a well-thought-out move from the team. Let’s see how Glenn performs in the NFL Combine first.
