The 2024 season was the New York Jets' 55th in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their sixth and final under general manager Joe Douglas and their fourth and final under head coach Robert Saleh. On October 8, following a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London, the Jets fired Saleh and promoted defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich to be the interim head coach.[1] General Manager Joe Douglas was also fired on November 19 after a Week 11 loss to the Indianapolis Colts dropped the Jets to 3–8 and was replaced by Phil Savage.[2]

This was the Jets' second season after acquiring four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. Following a season-ending Achilles injury to Rodgers in Week 1 of the 2023 season, the Jets tried to improve on their 7–10 record from 2022 and 2023, return to the playoffs for the first time since 2010, and end the longest active playoff drought in American professional sports, but failed to do either of those after an overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14.

Despite the return of Rodgers and the addition of several key offensive players such as Mike Williams and Davante Adams, the Jets had their worst start since 2021, beginning the year 2–6. A Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks ensured the Jets' ninth consecutive losing season, continuing the longest active streak in the league. It was also the franchise's fifth consecutive season with ten or more losses. After a Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the Jets failed to match their 7–10 record from the previous two seasons, and suffered their worst record since 2021, and also the most losses for Aaron Rodgers in a single season as a starter. In addition, none of the team's players were named to the initial Pro Bowl roster for the first time since 2021.
