One of the benefits to joint practices is the ability to scout the opposing team. The Jets' staff got a good look at the Green Bay Packers, just as it will this week with the Philadelphia Eagles visiting the Jets' facility on Tuesday and Wednesday. The information they compile is invaluable and could factor into personnel decisions as they pare the roster. Don't be surprised if a player or two from those teams winds up on the Jets -- and vice versa.
Sometimes teams are paranoid about joint practices because they fear the other side will leak the practice tape to another team, but there was a trust factor between the Jets and Packers. Saleh and coach Matt LaFleur are BFFs. The brotherly connection between the Packers' coach and Mike LaFleur also helped make for a smooth collaboration.
