Jets coach Robert Saleh revealed earlier this summer that the team had no interest in the HBO and NFL Films show.
But the Jets have no choice.
They were one of four teams eligible under the league’s criteria — teams with first-year coaches and current playoff teams are excluded.
The Jets switched to legendary former Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers this season break and hope he can help the team end a 12-year streak of missed playoffs.
The team is full of bright young stars, led by star cornerback Sauce Gardner and prolific WR Garrett Wilson.
New York also appeared on the hit HBO series in 2010 with then-head coach Rex Ryan, whose antics and persona would give fans a season to remember.
