This past November, I wrote that the New York Jets had to do whatever it took to sign Le’Veon Bell once free agency began and the reasoning for that was simple.
Last year at this time, the focus for the green and white was on acquiring a franchise quarterback. Despite an up-and-down rookie season, the organization believes it has found just that in Sam Darnold, who was drafted with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
With that being said, the focus this offseason then shifted to surrounding Darnold with as much talent as possible.
