Wow! Jettison one of your core pieces for a couple of scratch offs.
The Jets keep being the Jets.
Hope Aaron Glenn didn’t sign a long term lease!
Jets are too cheap to fire the coach after year one. Same reason Zac Taylor is safe in Cincinnati.
I guess the question is, is he the guy the Jets envisioned doing a complete rebuild with? With an extra three 1st round picks, is this the staff you want teaching them the NFL?
It is an interesting situation.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling signs with the Seahawks, gets cut right before the season begins, lands in San Francisco, does nothing and is cut again, now on the Steelers practice squad.
The life of an NFL football player is rough, considering how this is actually the norm for most players. But most of them never even get the playing time or money that Valdes-Scantling has.

His spot, as in, under-his-center's-ass spot?

Tragic they way he passed and so young. A somber reminder to take care of your mental health.
I wonder if there were any warning signs that were missed or if this just suddenly happened.
