Jets using more motion in 2024, defense looking to step up

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. On edge: When John Franklin-Myers learned the Jets had traded for Haason Reddick, he told a friend, "I'm gone," according to a source. He was reading the handwriting on the big, green wall. Four weeks later, he was traded to the Denver Broncos -- one of the defensive-line moves being scrutinized in the aftermath of a brutal Week 1 performance.

From March 11 (Bryce Huff's departure in free agency) to April 29 (Franklin-Myers trade), general manager Joe Douglas changed the composition and personality of the team's strongest position group -- and not for the better, based on the early results.
