As the Jets get close to training camp, I am going to examine the roster and give you my top 25 players. Each weekday, we will reveal another person on the list, leading right into camp. I am not including rookies on this list because I do not feel it is possible to fully evaluate them before they play a game.
No. 7: Josh McCown
Last year’s ranking: 14
Position: QB
Age: 39
How acquired: Signed as a free agent to a one-year, $6 million contract on March 20, 2017
Years left on contract: 1
2018 Salary Cap figure: $10 million
Looking back at 2017: The Jets got a better year out of McCown than they could have hoped when they signed him as a free agent.
