Aaron Glenn is here to take away the Jets pain he knows all too well
Thirty-one years after his first practice as a rookie wearing No. 31 for the New York Jets, Aaron Glenn was Sleepless in Florham Park, waiting excitedly to tackle head-on what has turned into a Mission: Impossible nightmare for others, but for him has been his dream job since his playing days ended in 2008.
It won't happen overnight, but Glenn was an eyewitness to the resurrection blueprint under Bill Parcells as a player and more recently under Dan Campbell as a coach with the Lions, and he vows to the long-suffering Jets fan base that it will happen.
And whenever it does, and of course a Super Bowl is the eventual goal, the makeover will result in a Jets team that is virtually unrecognizable to Jets fans.

Former Wisconsin football star lands contract extension with Dallas Cowboys
Former Wisconsin star tight end Jake Ferguson agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The deal is worth $52 million, with $30 million guaranteed, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The contract also awards the Madison, Wisconsin, native with a $12 million signing bonus. Ferguson becomes the second former Badger to receive an NFL payday this offseason, joining Pittsburgh Steelers' superstar T.J. Watt. The defensive standout agreed to a historic three-year, $123 million extension with the Steelers, becoming the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Despite a moderately quiet 2024 season, Ferguson's contract reflects his fast start to his professional career. After being drafted with the No. 129 overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft, Ferguson has reeled in 149 receptions for 1,429 yards and seven touchdowns in three seasons. In 2024, the Wisconsin product reeled in 59 receptions for 494 yards as Dallas' No. 2 passing threat behind star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. That performance followed a career-best 71-reception, 761-yard, five-touchdown campaign in 2023, the year he earned his lone Pro Bowl bid. During his collegiate tenure with the Badgers, the tight end corralled a pass in all 47 appearances, setting a school record. His 1,618 career receiving yards also land at No. 3 all-time among Wisconsin tight ends, behind Travis Beckum and Troy Fumagalli. Ferguson projects to lace up as the second or third offensive weapon behind Lamb and newly-acquired wide receiver George Pickens in 2025, with Dak Prescott returning from injury. The Cowboys will open their season on Sept. 4 against the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
