Jets' ineptitude has Falcons quietly looking like the deadline's biggest winners

Only the New York Jets could trade be extremely active at the deadline and still look like one of the day's biggest losers. That's a far cry from Terry Fontenot's clear lack of activity, but sometimes, you have to count your blessings that you don't end up the laughingstock of the NFL like the Jets are.

The Jets sent Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas for a heap of draft capital, which Gang Green needs, but the 1-7 Jets cannot get any worse. However, their laughable Tuesday afternoon is good news for the Atlanta Falcons, who will play the Jets in just a few weeks.
