Good morning, Gang Green Nation! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. As we head into Phase Two of the off-season program, it is a bit concerning that the Jets haven’t addressed outside help for the cornerback and backup quarterback positions. Saying those are positions of need would be an understatement. Last year we saw first hand how bad each position was, and not addressing it is criminal. Plus, with so many young players at each position group, it would make sense to bring in capable, veteran leaders to the team. Regardless of how well Zach Wilson or the DB group plays, the lack of competent depth there is glaring, and hard to ignore. There’s still some time before OTA’s start; and even then, the team could very well add someone, so there isn’t a need to panic yet. We’ll see how it unfolds as time goes on. With that, here are

Good morning, GGN! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. It was said by Joe Douglas that after the NFL Draft, the team would start to focus on a contract extension for free safety Marcus Maye. Some have viewed this as a mistake given Maye’s age (he is 28 going into this season). While this is a legitimate concern, I think that it’s a bit overstated. Maye has shown a high IQ on defense and a great level of play so far in his career. If Joe Douglas is able to lock down Maye on a two year extension, I don’t think this would be much of a problem at all. It would provide the secondary with great leadership and a reliable player while the team builds towards contention. While he may not be part of the long-term plans, he’s a necessary asset for the time being on this team. With that, here are your links to the Jets today.
