Josh McCown has earned a special place in New York Jets history

If Josh McCown was an All-Pro in any attribute, the journeyman quarterback knew how to take a joke. McCown’s professional football career took him to 11 different cities. His sense of self-deprecation never got lost in the moving vans.

McCown was able to loan his game jerseys to his daughter and her friends and still had a few left over. When asked to compare himself to fellow NFL senior citizen Tom Brady, he remarked “other than the age, there’s probably not a lot of similarities”.

That skill departed the NFL on Monday afternoon.
