The Jets’ sweeping remake took a monumentally positive turn just after the stroke of midnight.
After an already consequential upgrade that included Pro Bowl linebacker C.J. Mosely, Pro Bowl guard Kelechi Osemele and highly regarded slot receiver Jamison Crowder, the news broke that former Steelers All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell had decided to bring his talents to New York.
Just four hours after the bombshell announcement that the Giants had dispatched their most talented receiver in franchise history, the Jets followed up the Odell Beckham trade with the expected signing of another generational talent in Bell. General manager Mike Maccagnan thus made one of the most consequential moves of his tenure.
