At 0-3, the New York Jets are in desperation mode. The analytics aren’t kind as it pertains to teams making a postseason rally from that sort of deficit to start the season.
As a matter of fact, only four teams since 1990 have been able to pull it off. If the Jets want to join that elite club, they’ll need some help.
Thanks to a rash of injuries at some key positions: quarterback, middle linebacker, and defensive line. Poor play: offensive line and cornerback. It’s time for the Jets to do something drastic with their roster.
With draft capital and a few assets (tradeable contracts) the team is in a unique position to be able to take a flier on a first-round pick that hasn’t worked out in his current location, an injured player with potential, or heck even a player holding out for a new contract.
