Outside of Super Bowl III, nothing's guaranteed in the NFL, and Exhibit A this year for the Jets was wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
"I came in this year in the best shape of my life, the lowest body [fat] percentage I've ever been at, the lowest weight I've ever been at, smarter, spent more time focusing on the mental aspect of the game, controlling that," Marshall told reporters today as the Jets players cleaned out their lockers following the final game of the season Sunday. "So I was expecting big things."
The big things did not come for the Jets, who finished 5-11 with the 30-10 win over the Bills.
