By the time former New York Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan was handed his walking papers by owner Woody Johnson in December of 2014, the team had been slapped with the always undesirable label of being “a circus” due to Ryan’s wild antics and lack of willingness to hold players accountable when any potential disciplinary issues arose.
Now, more than a year removed from Ryan and former failed GM John Idzik, it seems that the circus has indeed left town and in it’s place is a casino of sorts.
Fresh off of a 10 win season after Ryan’s disastrous 4-12 2014, General Manager Mike Maccagnan continues to keep people guessing come draft time and wearing his poker face at the negotiation table.
