It’s not hyperbolic to say that the Jets may have had the best offseason in the NFL.
Perhaps the best player in the draft, Leonard Williams, fell into their collective laps. While that was accidentally brilliant, their other moves were hearty and healthy. Brandon Marshall. Darrelle Revis. Antonio Cromartie. Bryce Petty. Devin Smith.
Even the more nuanced moves keep the team afloat, like retaining Bilal Powell and David Harris. They don’t nudge the PR needle. But keeping solid starters — veteran voices to nurture the fresh, fertile draft class — makes the Jets more formidable.
