The Jets move one step closer to the 2018 season on Monday, when the players convene in Florham Park for the beginning of the team’s offseason program.
There will be plenty of new faces as the team has signed 16 free agents over the past five weeks. Phase One, which begins Monday, is just strength and conditioning work and lasts for two weeks. The most serious portion of the spring program does not begin until May 22, when organized team activities (OTAs) start. This is a fancy name for a football practice. Everything is voluntary until the mandatory minicamp, which is June 12-14.
