The NFL is a wild business. Until recently, Avery Williamson’s roster spot appeared to be in jeopardy. Now that Mosley has opted out for 2020, Williamson is the Jets' most experienced linebacker and a player they can't afford to lose. One year removed from major knee surgery, he's close to returning to practice. Gase, for one, will savor that moment.
"That's going to be a good day for me, personally," Gase said. "I know, for him, it'll be a great day."
Williamson tore his ACL while playing with the backups (the backups!) in a meaningless preseason game last August. Gase took the heat for the ill-advised decision, and he apologized to Williamson.
"If you hold on to stuff like that, it's going to eat away at you," Williamson said. "I had my moments where I was in dark places. Didn't want to talk to anybody and stuff, but it feels like I moved past it."
