FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- It was the "no" that turned into a "yes!" (Marv Albert voice).
After being spurned by free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins in March, the New York Jets made a quick pivot and took the road that eventually led them to Sam Darnold. Initially stung by the Cousins rejection -- he seemingly used them to leverage the Minnesota Vikings -- the Jets are now so over that chapter. In their minds, he's a distant Cousins.
"I really don't worry about the guys I don't get," coach Todd Bowles said Monday.
