The NY Jets entered the 2021 NFL free-agency period a little over a week ago, flushed with tons of cap space and with a ton of holes on their roster. A byproduct of years of shoddy drafting and free-agent signings.
The legendary Bill Parcells once famously said, “You are what your record says you are.” The Jets were coming off a two-win campaign in 2020, and their overall roster is reflective of that.
Going into free agency, you could argue that the Jets needed to upgrade at quarterback, running back, fullback, wide receiver, tight end, offensive line, defensive line, linebacker, cornerback, safety, and throw in a kicker for good measure.
