From an optics standpoint, it'll look bad if ex-Jets middle linebacker David Harris -- who has signed with the Patriots -- excels when the two teams meet this season.
After all, the Jets and Patriots play in the regular season finale, in New England. And that could be the final game for Jets coach Todd Bowles and general manager Mike Maccagnan, if this season goes even worse than most people already think it will. (Which is to say, awful.)
Harris on the opposing sideline as the Patriots deliver a final blow to Bowles and Maccagnan would be an image that would sting Jets fans.
