In his first summer as general manager of the New York Jets, Darren Mougey has been making moves. Maybe they are not the splash moves fans might be hoping for, but Gang Green has improved in the days leading up to Tuesday's roster cut deadline.
Most of the moves made came on the defensive line — Mougey brought both Jowon Briggs and Harrison Phillips to Florham Park before shipping Derrick Nnadi back to Kansas City. Nnadi was unlikely to make the roster, and Phillips serves as a clear upgrade.
Phillips, a former third-round pick out of Stanford, is no stranger to playing in the AFC East.
