Aaron Glenn on Jets' roster makeup: 'You can't be afraid of young players'

Our Summary

New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn embraces a strategy of building his roster with young players, following advice from New Orleans Saints executive Jeff Ireland. Unlike coaches who prefer experienced veterans to ensure a stable start, Glenn prioritizes acquiring talent irrespective of age. While acknowledging the league's youthful trend, Glenn focuses on players who can help the team win, whether young or older. Currently, the Jets have reduced their number of players over 30 from twelve to five, aiming for a healthier, more dynamic team after a challenging 5-12 finish last season. The goal is to rejuvenate the squad and surpass their last winning season in 2015.
