The New York Jets are heading into this weekend’s game with a dismal 2-6 record, and seemingly not a lot of optimism that things are finally going to change at MetLife Stadium.

Aaron Glenn’s future in New York is coming under scrutiny as the Jets fail to show any real encouraging signs towards a brighter future. It has been over a decade since the Jets last ended a season (2015) with a winning record.

Tom Brady believes there is only one man who could save the Jets, and that is Bill Belichick, but what it would take to bring him back to the organisation will leave the Jets’ owner far from impressed.

How much it would take the New York Jets to pay for Bill Belichick to return

Belichick’s history with the Jets is infamous, having resigned within the opening hours of his tenure due to concerns over working with the prospective new owners. Although Woody Johnson is still the Jets’ owner, Brady believes even Belichick has his price.

When asked if anyone could save the Jets, Brady said: “No, next question. Okay, I truly think there’s one guy who can fix the Jets, and I think they should bring back their best coach of all time. Granted, he only coached the Jets for about 26 hours, but if the Jets have an extra hundred million dollars lying around, I think Bill might consider it. It’s worth a call, right?”

This Jets team would take some turning around, having been nowhere near even competing for a spot in the postseason over recent years. However, there should be some cause for optimism given the upcoming draft picks they have acquired for next year.

Any potential new head coach is going to have three first-round picks to use next year, and, alongside their own, the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys could provide them with two low picks inside the first round.

Perhaps this would be enough to entice a big-name head coach to take on the challenge of turning around this Jets team, but the prospect of Belichick being that man feels incredibly unlikely.
