FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- After two years of collecting future assets and spending judiciously in free agency, New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas sounds like he might be ready to step on the gas this offseason.
"I think with the position we put ourselves in, we have great flexibility," he said. "We have great flexibility to really use these assets in different ways. I think you’ve seen teams do that in the past couple of years, where they’ve used assets -- draft assets -- for proven players."
The Jets' willingness to acquire established veterans -- instead of trading them away -- adds a layer of intrigue to the offseason.
