Aaron Glenn has his work cut out for him after his first season with the New York Jets.
They had a 3-14 record. That's brutal. They have to come back from it.
Of course, it wasn't Glenn's fault, really. The team had a 5-12 record the year before. So, he was coming from a weak place. It's hard to make a real turnaround from that record in just one season.

But, now, it's about the future. The Jets are being linked to a veteran defender that could really boost their defense next season.
In a piece for ESPN, Aaron Schatz links the Jets to defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi.
"The Jets' roster is a mixture of developing young players and patched-in veterans, especially on defense," he says. "If they want their older, more experienced defense to succeed, however, they will need more depth so they can rotate linemen and in case of injury. Ogunjobi would make a good addition to help David Onyemata and Harrison Phillips."
My Take: Larry Ogunjobi to the Jets?

At this point, the Jets need all the veteran help they can get. It's do-or-die for Glenn and the franchise this season. They absolutely have to make a comeback. They don't need to win the Super Bowl. But, they need to win games. That didn't happen last season, and if it doesn't happen this season, there's going to have to be some serious explaining.
Having Ogunjobi in the fold could absolutely boost their defense. At 32, he won't be as expensive as he was with the Buffalo Bills. The Jets can likely get him at a steal.

Ogunjobi isn't a must-sign. But, he would bring value if the team did bring him on. If the price is right, this would be a good signing for Glenn and the Jets.
