The former defensive coordinator of Detroit Lions, Aaron Glenn, set the tone for his media session in introduction with the New York Jets.
“For all the players who are here now, put your safety belts and prepare for the trip,” said Glenn. “Listen, there will be challenges. But with challenges, there is an opportunity. But here is what I know: we are frightening New York jets, so we are built for this S – T.
According to the NFL writer Tony PaulineGlenn should target several of his former players from the Lions list this offseason.
As Pauline explained, “as Aaron Glenn was officially presented as the head coach of the New York Jets, many here in Frisco predict that he will bring several of his former defensive players of the Lions of Detroit to join him New York once the free agency begins;

Glenn was presented Monday afternoon with the director general of the new jets, Darren Mougey.
The former Deputy Director General of Broncos praised Glenn and underlined how memorable his interview was with Denver.
A player who can be targeted by the jets is the secondary Derrick Barnes, who had his season shorten in 2024 due to a major right knee injury.
“A player I told myself that Glenn will target in free agency is the secondary derrick Barnes, the choice of fourth round of the lions in Purdue in 2021 which will be on the market of free agents after having finished his recruit contract”, writes Pauline. “Barnes started 13 games in 2023, but he only played three last season after tearing an MCL and a PCL when he was cut block.”
