Joe Douglas has turned over roughly half the roster left behind by Mike Maccagnan, so the Jets’ general manager still has a long journey ahead in his ambitious rebuilding project. And while the job remains incomplete, things at least feel somewhat hopeful.
The fruits of the overhaul may not be reaped for a while yet – let’s face it, this doesn’t feel like a playoff team in 2020 – but Douglas’ patient hand in recasting the team is based in sound football logic and should eventually pan out.
