The Jets’ payroll purge puts their quarterback and head coach in an impossible situation

Expectations were high for the New York Jets last season. They were coming off of a 10-win season, Todd Bowles had a year of head coaching experience under his belt, and they added a dynamic back in Matt Forte.

Fast-forward one year, and there isn’t a team with lower expectations than New York’s green team. That became an undeniable truth on Tuesday when the Jets continued their purge of veterans. Linebacker David Harris was cut after 10 years with the team – not long after he was put through a day of practice, mind you – and Eric Decker is the next veteran on his way out with New York trying to trade the wideout ahead of a likely release.
