While Dave Gettleman sets about blowing up the structure of the Giants’ front office, hiring a new coach, and filling his roster with presumably more enthusiastic faces, the Jets handed Mike Maccagnan and Todd Bowles and edict disguised as a New Year’s gift.

By extending both leaders by two years, they effectively told the general manager and head coach that they have one, two years at most, to fix their 5-11 team and get back to the playoffs.

Do that, or they won’t reach 2020.
