FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Walk into the New York Jets' locker room, make a hard right and proceed about 25 feet. There you will encounter Canton Corner, occupied by at least two future Pro Football Hall of Famers in quarterback Aaron Rodgers and left tackle Tyron Smith.
Rodgers, who moved in last year, welcomed Smith to the neighborhood this spring. In some respects, they symbolize this year's Jets. They're older, highly-accomplished veterans that play critical positions, hoping whatever greatness they have left can galvanize the star-crossed franchise.
They're not alone. In the span of 19 days in March, wide receiver Mike Williams, pass rusher Haason Reddick, right tackle Morgan Moses and backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor were brought in as the organization pushed its win-now mantra.
