Draymond Green urges team to move amid struggles


Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is once again making headlines from the basketball court, this time turning its attention to the NFL and fight the New York Jets.

On the latest episode of NFL Network’s Why Draymond Green Talks Football with Jordan Schultz, Green expressed his frustration with the Jets’ instability and he suggested that the team move as a whole.

“It’s the Jets, man. It’s like you don’t go to New York and you go to the Jets. You just don’t do that,” Green said. “And that’s why I worry about Aaron Glennbecause you know, as a black coordinator, you don’t get many coaching opportunities, so you have to take the ones you get, and he took the job that was open to him. But unfortunately, it’s just not a great deal and it’s a very volatile franchise and they’re going to do some volatile shit, like let him go in the middle of his first year like it’s all his fault. And I just don’t think so, but it’s the Jets. What more do you expect?”

Green went on to say that the team’s environment in New York limits his ability to thrive and establish a true identity.

“You’re always going to be second fiddle in New York, and then you couple that with just being one of the shitty organizations,” Green added.

Schultz quickly responded, saying, “They’re not moving.

Green responded with, “Move it.”

Schultz also shared his own criticism, focusing on the team’s home field.

“I’ll tell you what the hell that stadium is. It’s horrible. I hate the stadium. I think it’s the worst I’ve ever been in,” Schultz said.

Green agreed, calling out both the turf and the overall design of the venue.

“It doesn’t matter. The pitch is crap. The stadium is crap. Just move the team,” he said.

The comments come as the Jets continue to grow under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn, who have gone six games without a win. The team the last loss came in London, a 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncosin which quarterback Justin Fields was sacked nine times. The offense continues to rank near the bottom of the league in total yards and points per game, leading to growing frustration among fans and analysts.

Green’s remarks reflect a broader sense of national criticism directed at the Jets, who have struggled to maintain stability and competitiveness for much of the past decade. Despite his gruff tone, Green couched his concerns as empathy for Glenn, warning that the coach could be unfairly blamed for systemic problems within the franchise.

Meanwhile, Green and the The Warriors are gearing up for their own season opener next Tuesdaywhen they visit the Los Angeles Lakers at Cripto.com Arena to kick off the 2025-26 NBA season. Golden State, now led by Stephen Curry, Green, and newly acquired forward Jimmy Butler III — acquired from the Miami Heat in a multi-team trade last February — is looking to build on last season’s second-round playoff exit to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The The Jets will return to MetLife Stadium on Sunday to host the Carolina Panthers (3-3) at 1:00 PM ET on FOX as they continue to look for their first win of the season.
