Ranking the best free agent signings in NY Jets history

The New York Jets are winners of the offseason.

No, really this time. Shut up, Sean Payton.

The Jets have had more whiffs than hits in free agency recently. We’ve constantly referred back to the Laken Tomlinson and C.J. Uzomah signings as examples of what the Jets shouldn’t do when signing players. Still, this offseason, Joe Douglas largely learned from his mistakes (Javon Kinlaw excepted) and made savvy moves to build the Jets’ roster. Whether Tyron Smith, John Simpson, and Mike Williams pay off or not, Jets fans should remember that Douglas deserves credit for excellent moves with the best information he had available at the time.
