The New York Jets officially waved the green and white flag on the 2025 season – and perhaps beyond – and took a wrecking ball to their roster Tuesday. They traded all-world cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts and shipped All-Pro DT Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys. Both join a talent-laden list for former Jets now playing elsewhere in the NFL. Here are our latest odds on the Next Ex-Jet To Win A Super Bowl.

Gardner moves from a 1-7 Jets team to the 7-2 Colts. Indy owns the No. 1 seed in the AFC. But Gardner is not the only ex-Jet with strong odds to win the Super Bowl this season.

The Jets appeared to have built their future around Gardner before this season, signing him to a 4-year, $120 million deal. In return for Gardner, the Jets picked up 2 first-round picks from the Colts, and WR A.D. Mitchell.

The Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to Green Bay, ostensibly because of salary concerns. Dallas now has picked up Williams to aid their ailing defense. Williams has two years remaining on a 4-year, $96 million extension.

That lineup could win the AFC East, if not make a run at the Super Bowl.

The Buffalo Bills moved into the No. 1 spot to win Super Bowl 60 after knocking off the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. The Bills stand at +600 at DraftKings, followed by the Chiefs (+650), LA Rams (+800), Detroit Lions (+900), and Eagles and Packers (both +950).

The Bills’ offensive attack includes two former skill players for Gang Green: WR Elijah Moore and RB Ty Johnson, who scored a TD in Buffalo’s 28-21 win over KC Sunday.

Ex-Jets To Watch As Playoffs Loom

The Super Bowl champion Eagles had plenty of Kelly green in their DNA last season. Ex-Jets QB coach Kevin Patullo served as Philly’s OC. Former Jets Bryce Huff, C.J. Uzomah and Mekhi Becton all earned Super Bowl 59 rings, as well. This past offseason, the Eagles scooped up former Jets GM Joe Douglas to serve as their Personnel Director.

The Eagles added a pair of ex-Jets this season. They claimed WR Xavier Gipson off waivers earlier this season. And dealt for CB Michael Carter II ahead of the deadline. Both rank high in our Next Ex-Jet To Win A Super Bowl odds.

Ex-Jets QB Sam Darnold continues to flourish in the NFL. The former No. 3 overall pick for Gang Green in the 1st round of the 2018 draft, Darnold has the Seattle Seahawks in the midst of the chase for the NFC West title. Darnold joined ex-Jet DE Leonard Williams in the Emerald City. Williams helps to anchor a Seattle defense that has allowed just 18.8 points per game. Last season, Darnold led the Vikings to 14 wins in the 2024 regular season as the fill-in for J.J. McCarthy.

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers – to the surprise of no one – own first place in the AFC North. His former Binky – WR Davante Adams – opened another Taco Bell in Los Angeles this season. Adams and the Rams are tied for first in the NFC West at 6-2 with Seattle.

Jets Continue Historic Super Bowl Drought

The Jets' lone Super Bowl victory came on January 12, 1969 at Miami’s Orange Bowl. The Jets own the record for the longest championship drought of any team after winning a Super Bowl. As of Wednesday, their Lombardi famine stands at 56 years, 9 months, and 19 days – or simply 20,752 days.

Led by a punishing ground game, the ball-control passing of Joe Namath (he did not have a TD pass), and a fierce defense, the Jets (+12) stunned the universe in Super Bowl III. New York’s 16-7 win over the Colts stood as the greatest NFL Championship Game/Super Bowl upset in history at the time. It would be surpassed by Super Bowl 36, after New England beat St. Louis 20-17 as 14-point underdogs.

The Jets represented the AFL in Super Bowl III. The AFL and NFL merged in 1970. Since the merger, the NFL has added 6 teams, and seen several others relocate.

What’s Happened Since The Jets Won A Super Bowl?

Super Bowl III came and went before man first walked on the moon, before both Woodstocks, and on the penultimate Sunday of Lyndon Johnson’s presidency. Gas was 35 cents a gallon. A new house cost about $40,000. And new car around $1,995. The median U.S. household income was $8,389 – or about $161.32 a week.

The United States has had 10 different presidents since Super Bowl III. Home computing, the internet, WIFI, streaming, ESPN, social media, and AI have all come to life in the interim.

We evolved through console color TVs, VCRs, DVD players, portable cassette players, multiple iterations of Windows, CRT computers, the Blackberry, beepers, and for many, the basic wired home telephone.

Since the Jets won Super Bowl III, the following New York/New Jersey teams have won at least one championship: the New York Giants (NFL), New York Rangers (NHL) New Jersey Devils (NHL), New York Islanders (NHL), New York Knicks (NBA), New Jersey Nets (ABA), New York Yankees (MLB), New York Mets (MLB), New York Liberty (WNBA), New York Cosmos (NASL), NYCFC (MLS), and Gotham FC (NWSL).
