From Pennington to Sauce: Who makes the cut for my Jets All-21st century team
We are now a quarter of the way into the 21st century.
It has been a disappointing first 25 seasons for the Jets in this century. It started off fairly strong with six trips to the playoffs in the first 11 seasons, including two AFC Championship Games.
Then, the drought hit.

WATCH: Brian Baldinger breaks down play of LB Jamien Sherwood
WATCH: Brian Baldinger breaks down play of LB Jamien Sherwood 2024 served as a coming out party for New York Jets linebacker Jamien Sherwood. In his fourth year in the NFL, Sherwood received a big opportunity as a starting linebacker, and he came through in a big way. After just seven starts through his first three seasons, Sherwood started 16 games last year. He recorded three PBUs, two sacks, 10 TFL, 158 total tackles and a league-leading 98 solo tackles. It could be argued that Sherwood was a Pro Bowl snub due to his outstanding year in the middle of the Jets defense. Because of the way he stepped up, he impressed those in the jets locker room enough to be named the team's MVP in 2024. His breakout year led to his first big contract in the NFL, as he signed a three-year, $45 million contract this offseason to remain a staple in the Jets defense into the Aaron Glenn era. His play has impressed NFL analysts, including Brian Baldinger, who put together a film cutup of Sherwood's standout play from 2024. Check it out below:

Rams receiver Davante Adams shades former teams with 'dark cloud' remark: 'It's a glaring difference'
Davante Adams is feeling "rejuvenated" after his brief and unsuccessful stint with the New York Jets. However, the three-time All-Pro receiver seemingly took a dig at his old teams while praising his new one. "Everybody's in a good mood. It's not like a dark cloud over the building, and I've experienced that quite a bit over the last few years," he said. "So, it's a glaring difference when you come into a building like this." Adams, 32, signed a two-year deal with the Rams in March worth up to $46 million, and he joins a roster with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations. However, Adams is not the only former Jets player to hint at problems within the organization. Aaron Rodgers revealed during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" in April that his final conversation with the team was "confusing" and "strange." "That was an interesting two years to say the least, but I figured that when I flew across the country on my own dime, that there was going to be a conversation," he said of the conversation when he learned that the team was moving on from him. "I wasn't upset about it, I was surprised," he added. "I felt like there wasn't an ample amount of respect in that meeting. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised based on some of the things I saw over the two years." Now both players have moved for the upcoming season.

NFLPA renews call for grass fields
The vast majority of NFL players continue to prefer playing on grass. Plenty of owners refuse to provide it. The league's position becomes harder to justify when stadiums that use the fake stuff for football install grass for soccer. The World Club Cup Group Stage (whatever that means) happens this weekend at MetLife Stadium. Grass has been installed at the home of the Giants and Jets for the event. Via Alex Schiffer of the NFL Players Association noticed the photo and reacted. 'Looks nice,' the union tweeted, along with this hashtag: "#SaferFields.' It's not a new position for the union. Former NFLPA president JC Tretter has made the case for grass over turf. The league has said that the issue is more complicated. In our view, it's simple. It's about cost. If having a well-maintained grass field cost the same as having a synthetic field, every NFL stadium would have grass. The issue will become more pronounced next year, when multiple NFL stadiums install grass for the FIFA World Cup. Including MetLife Stadium, where the final will be held. With the NFL poised to push for 18 regular-season games (up from 17) and 16 international games (up from 10), the union has leverage. Whether that leverage can be converted into grass fields in all NFL venues remains to be seen.
