2024 New York Jets season

The 2024 season was the New York Jets' 55th in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their sixth and final under general manager Joe Douglas and their fourth and final under head coach Robert Saleh. On October 8, following a week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London, the Jets fired Saleh and promoted defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich to be the interim head coach.^[1] General Manager Joe Douglas was also fired on November 19 after a week 11 loss to the Indianapolis Colts dropped the Jets to 3–8 and was replaced by Phil Savage.^[2]

This was the Jets' second season after acquiring four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. Following a season-ending Achilles injury to Rodgers in week 1 of the 2023 season, the Jets tried to improve on their 7–10 record from 2022 and 2023, return to the playoffs for the first time since 2010, and end the longest active playoff drought in American professional sports, but failed to do either of those after an overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in week 14.

Despite the return of Rodgers and the addition of several key offensive players such as Mike Williams and Davante Adams, the Jets had their worst start since 2021, beginning the year 2–6. A week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks ensured the Jets' ninth consecutive losing season, continuing the longest active streak in the league. It was also the franchise's fifth consecutive season with ten or more losses. After a week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the Jets failed to match their 7–10 record from the previous two seasons, and suffered their worst record since 2021, and also the most losses for Aaron Rodgers in a single season as a starter. In addition, none of the team's players were named to the initial Pro Bowl roster for the first time since 2021.

Trades

Trades below only are for trades that included a player. Draft pick-only trades will go in draft section.

Date	Player(s)/Asset(s) received	Team	Player(s)/Asset(s) traded
April 1	LB Haason Reddick	Philadelphia Eagles	2026 conditional 2nd or 3rd round selection [A]
October 16	WR Davante Adams	Las Vegas Raiders	2025 conditional 2nd or 3rd round selection[B]
November 5	2025 5th round selection	Pittsburgh Steelers	Mike Williams

1. Had Reddick reached 67.5% of playing time and gotten 10 sacks in 2024 or Reddick was traded to an NFC team, the Eagles would have acquired the Jets' 2026 2nd round selection. Neither were met since Reddick only had one sack and only played in 57% of the Jets' snaps in 2024, so the Eagles get the Jets' 3rd round selection instead.
2. Had Adams been a first or second team All-Pro in 2024 or on Jets active roster for AFC championship game or Super Bowl LIX, the Raiders receive the Jets' 2025 2nd round selection instead. The Jets ultimately missed the playoffs in 2024, and Adams wasn't named to the 2024 All-Pro team, therefore, the Raiders received the Jets third that was previously acquired from Detroit (92nd overall)
