Josh Myers Unhappy at Jets
NJ – June 2, 2025
Josh Myers, the veteran center and former Green Bay Packers standout, is causing a stir in New York just months after joining the Jets. Insiders reveal that Myers, who signed a one-year, $5 million deal in the 2025 offseason, is deeply frustrated with the team’s chaotic practice environment, inconsistent coaching, and lack of unity following OTAs.
Myers, a 2024 Ed Block Courage Award winner with Green Bay, anchored the Packers’ offensive line for four seasons, starting 50 of 51 games. His move to the Jets was expected to bolster a struggling unit that ranked 27th in offensive yards in 2024 (ESPN). But the offseason has exposed troubling cracks in the Jets’ foundation.
Sources close to the team say Myers has privately criticized the Jets’ coaching staff for its lack of structure. “I thought I was joining a team ready to compete, but this is a mess,” Myers reportedly told a teammate, per The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt. “Coaches can’t control the team—guys skip drills, and there’s no accountability. It’s nothing like Green Bay.”
The practice field has been a scene of disarray. Insiders describe players clashing, coaches failing to enforce discipline, and drills plagued by miscommunication. NJ.com reported Myers skipped the final OTA session, spotted in Miami, underscoring his discontent. “It’s chaos,” a source quoted Myers saying. “No one’s on the same page, and teamwork’s nonexistent.”
Myers’s efforts to lead the offensive line have been met with resistance, with some players ignoring head coach Robert Saleh’s system. The lack of cohesion alarms the 27-year-old, who thrived in the Packers’ disciplined culture under Matt LaFleur.
Jets fans are divided online. “Myers is right—this team’s a disaster!” one posted on X. Others countered: “Stop complaining, Josh! You’re not in Lambeau anymore!” The fanbase, reeling from a 5-12 season, fears early dysfunction could derail 2025 hopes.
Saleh, known for his defensive expertise, faces pressure to restore order. With Aaron Rodgers aging and an offense leaning on Myers and Joe Tippmann, the Jets’ success hinges on addressing these early warning signs.
