Much like a football game, the Jets' approach to the NFL offseason can be loosely divided into four quarters.
First came the coaching staff's deep involvement at the Reese's Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL, at the beginning of February.
Up next is the week-long NFL Scouting Combine, which begins on Monday in Indianapolis after last year's weight-and-measure extravaganza was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
In mid-March things really get serious with the dawn of the free-agency signing period, which begins with the "legal tampering" sprint on March 14. Two days later, clubs will be able to begin negotiations with the agents of unrestricted free agents.
And in that fanciful fourth quarter comes the much anticipated 2022 NFL Draft, when the Jets (at present) own four of the top 38 selections (two picks each in Round 1 and Round 2) and nine selections overall.
In no particular order, general manager Joe Douglas said in January: "We're excited about this offseason. We're excited about attacking free agency, about attacking the draft, about attacking the Combine."
