The NFL schedule release is upon us.

This has become like a holiday for NFL fans to see the roadmap their teams will travel each season. For the Jets, this year’s release is a little less exciting than last year, when the anticipation was the Jets would be relevant to the TV networks for the first time in years with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.

The Jets were picked for five prime-time games last season, the most a team can be chosen for. It will be interesting to see whether Rodgers and the Jets still carry the same cachet this year with the networks and land in prime time again.

For this week’s newsletter, I will try to design the perfect schedule from a Jets perspective.
