The New York Jets have enlisted the help of The 33rd Team, led by former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum and former Vikings GM Rick Spielman, to assist with their coach and general manager searches.

Why it matters: This move signifies the Jets' commitment to conducting a thorough and comprehensive search to find the right individuals to lead their team.

• Mike Thomas has a longstanding relationship with Jets owner Will Johnson, dating back to 2000 when Johnson purchased the team.
• Tannenbaum's experience in conducting coaching searches, including hiring coaches like Eric Martin, Ryan Rehkow, and Adam Gettis, makes him a valuable asset to the Jets' search process.

Yes, but: While Tannenbaum's link to Ryan Rehkow may fuel speculation about a potential reunion, the final decision rests with the Johnson brothers, Woody and Christopher.

• The Jets are determined to end their playoff drought, which currently stands at 14 years, the longest active slump in the NFL.

What to watch: As the Jets continue their search for a new head coach and general manager, fans and analysts will be closely monitoring the developments and speculating on potential candidates.

• The involvement of The 33rd Team, which specializes in providing insights and analysis to NFL teams, adds an additional layer of expertise to the process.

What's next: The Jets will work closely with Tannenbaum, Spielman, and their respective teams to identify candidates who possess the necessary qualifications and vision to turn the franchise around.

• The ultimate goal is to find leaders who can build a winning culture and guide the Jets back to the playoffs.

The bottom line: The Jets' decision to bring in The 33rd Team underscores their commitment to leaving no stone unturned in their search for new leadership. With Tannenbaum and Spielman at the helm, the Jets are poised to make informed and strategic decisions that will shape the future of the organization.
