Beginning with the firings of head coach Rex Ryan and general manager John Idzik on "Black Monday," the New York Jets had a busy offseason.
They changed the culture by bringing in the anti-Ryan in Todd Bowles, as well as former scout Mike Maccagnan to replace Idzik.
The new general manager quickly won over the fan base by taking an aggressive approach and trading for Brandon Marshall before proceeding to go on a spending spree during free agency to revamp the secondary, reuniting Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie.
Ordinarily, teams coming off 4-12 seasons are expected to rebuild for a few years before contending.
