The New York Jets went out with the old and in with the new regarding running backs this offseason. They cut Isaiah Crowell and let Bilal Powell walk in free agency, while bringing in two new backs for the 2019 season.
The Jets desperately needed a change at the running back position. Their rushing offense was among the worst in the league last season, averaging just four yards per carry, which ranked 29th in the league. If they want to see Sam Darnold succeed, a good running game is a huge priority.
Mike Maccagnan and Adam Gase made the right decision in making the running back position a focal point this free agency.
