FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The Jeremy Kerley suspension will hurt the New York Jets in the short term because he's a reliable possession receiver for Josh McCown, who lives on short passes. If you still believe the Jets (4-5) can make a playoff run, you're not happy about this.
But as we often do with this team, every move must be analyzed through two prisms -- present and future. Taking a 10,000-foot view of the suspension, it's not such a bad thing.
Kerley's four-game absence will create playing time for rookies ArDarius Stewart and Chad Hansen.
