Jets’ AFC East opportunity is there to finally be seized
NY Post
It is only June, minicamps are ending and a long, hot summer awaits the Jets. Who can hear opportunity knocking: the AFC East is truly up for grabs this season.
“The division’s gonna be good, obviously,” D.J. Reed was saying on Wednesday. “Miami’s gonna be good, obviously Buffalo lost some key pieces but they’re still gonna be good, they got Josh Allen over there.
“But I definitely feel like the division is winnable. I feel like we have a great team to win a lot of games here.”
No mention, for the first time in forever, of the Patriots, coached by Jerod Mayo and not Bill Belichick. The Dolphins are a warm-weather offensive team with speed that has yet to prove it can beat the Big Boys. Allen keeps the Bills — AFC champs four consecutive years — contenders but rookie Keon Coleman will be tasked with replacing Stefon Diggs and the secondary has lost key veterans.
Once Aaron Rodgers returns from Mars, or wherever he is, he owes the Jets and their fans their first division title since 2002.
His unexcused absence from mandatory minicamps aside, Woody Johnson and Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh put all their green-and-white eggs in Rodgers’ basket, and he is the one entrusted with making sure they do not become scrambled, the way the last 13 seasons without a playoff berth have left the yolk on the Jets.
