Jets Already Failing Free Agency

The start of NFL free agent frenzy is giving NFL fans the distraction is surely needs amid the COVID-19 virus. Sadly for Jets fans, their team can't help but make them feel sick.

The Jets watched as all the big target free agents went elsewhere. Right tackle Jack Conklin signed with the Cleveland Browns; Tackle Joe Thuney was franchise tagged by the Patriots and center Graham Glasgow signed with Denver.

Oh, and linebacker Kyle Van Noy signed with Miami after the Jets kicked the tires on him.

So Gang Green settled for offensive tackle George Fant, formally of the Seattle Seahawks, a player who spent most of his career as a part-time starter. Fant has only 24 starts in his career, seven of which came last year.

And to think Gang Green threw $30 million, with $13.7 million guaranteed his way -- evidence that the Jets are that desperate.

This is a bad start for the Joe Douglas regime. The Bills got better by trading for former Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs, while the Dolphins beefed up by adding linebackers Van Noy and Shaq Lawson, and corner back Byron Jones.

At least Tom Brady is not returning to New England. Wait...what? More on that later...

Same ole Jets! As Larry David said on Curb Your Enthusiasm, all they do is disappoint.
