PHOENIX – Like most NFL teams, the Jets went into this offseason with a shopping list. Theirs was obviously a little different than others’ given their unqiue needs, the number of items they already had in stock like a young franchise quarterback, and their big budget when it came to salary cap space. But that’s not a surprise. Every franchise thinks they have a plan.
The difference for the Jets? Theirs worked.
Even general manager Mike Maccagnan seemed a little surprised by that when he spoke to reporters at the NFL’s league meetings on Monday, addressing the Jets’ activities from the past month publicly for the first time.
