Jets want — and need — to see one player much less
NY Post
By all accounts, Jets punter Thomas Morstead is beloved and respected by his teammates.
When you look at what he has achieved in his career, there are very few Jets who have been as good for as long as Morstead.
With that being said, for the 2024 Jets to be successful, they need to see much less of Morstead than they did in 2023 when he punted 99 times, the most in the NFL last season and tied for the most in Jets history.
There were times last year when the Jets’ best hope of scoring was for Morstead to punt it inside the 5-yard line and hope the defense could get a safety. It is nice to have a good punter, but it’s not great when you are counting on him as a scoring option.
Everyone expects the Jets offense to be much better this season. With a healthy Aaron Rodgers at quarterback surrounded by Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall and Mike Williams and behind a rebuilt offensive line, the offense should be explosive.
There will be plenty of ways to measure that success.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is being paid handsomely for his breakout season.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
