Assessing the Jets who are free agents

The Jets have 16 unrestricted free agents heading into the offseason. Several are needed to maintain the positive vibes the team talked about having after a 5-11 season.

“This team, right here, we’re real close,” cornerback Buster Skrine said. “We got a competitive team. We just have to learn how to finish.”

While the Jets do have some free agents worth keeping, coach Todd Bowles referred to players who he has no use for as “wooden nickels.”

So just how many wooden nickels do the Jets have? And how many players are worth keeping?

An assessment:

Josh McCown, Quarterback

Comment: He produced a career year before breakaing his left hand and missing the last three games.
