So far, this Jets gig has been a breeze for new general manager Mike Maccagnan.
Flush with salary cap space, Maccagnan flooded the free agent market with cash and purchased a slew of players who should help the Jets, who went 4-12 in 2014, inch up the AFC East ladder this coming season.
Then, while waiting his turn with the No. 6 pick in the NFL Draft, Maccagnan was gifted USC’s Leonard Williams, who many viewed as the preeminent defensive player (and some experts even had Williams as the top overall player on their boards) in the pool.
