Best: The clock on Jets GM Maccagnan starts now

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Mike Maccagnan is on the clock now, the man who no matter who coaches the Jets in 2019 will be praised or blamed for what unfolds.

And that is as it should be, because after the expected firing of Todd Bowles, who else are we to point to if the team does not improve next season after three consecutive duds?

Add more than $100 million in salary cap space and the fact there now is a promising young quarterback in place and, well, let’s just say there no excuses for the GM.

But in case anyone had any doubts, the team’s only current Pro Bowler on offense or defense offered a extraordinarily blunt parting message before leaving the visiting locker room Sunday after a 38-3 loss to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
