Mr. Coffee strikes again. One final gift from the coffee-drinking general manager has been indirectly handed over to the New York Jets organization. And while Joe Douglas would prefer it to be an expresso machine or hell, even a simple $20 thermos, this present is a costly one.
Mike Maccagnan’s veteran free-agent splash a year ago has directly put the clamps on a salary-cap strategy that Douglas views as value-driven and timely. It’s also indirectly hurt the Jets’ plans during these uncertain times.
C.J. Mosley’s opt-out greatly hurts the Jets’ chances on the field in 2020, but, more importantly, it’s a contractual killer.
