After the Senior Bowl and last week's NFL Scouting Combine, now comes the start of free agency on March 16 (the legal tampering period begins on March 14 at 4 p.m.) and then the NFL Draft at the end of April.
General manager Joe Douglas has been nothing but assiduous the past two years as he's navigated the challenging shoals of free agency. He has been careful to not overpay and has wisely signed several free agents to one-year contracts (LB Jarrad Davis, WR Keelan Cole and OL Morgan Moses, for example), basically offering an opportunity to prove their value.
Now, with almost $50 million under the league's salary cap, the Jets have the opportunity to go big, go smaller to fill a great number of needs, all the while setting themselves up for the draft. With nine total picks, two each in Round 1 and Round 2, this offseason could play a pivotal role in the transformation of the organization.
