\nThe new regime cut $40M off the salary cap in about a month.<\/p>\n

We have two first-round draft picks. And if we take Minnesota’s offer, we’ll still have two first rounders to go with three 2nd-rounders.<\/p>\n

I don’t have to endure another season of giving Curtis Martin 12-15 carries to get “warmed up” – if he’s running good he’ll get more; if he’s stinking it up he’ll get pulled for Blaylock\/Houston.<\/p>\n

The 29 DB’s we drafted may yield a secondary that can stop someone on 3rd down.<\/p>\n

Rookies will be given a chance even if the incumbent veteran is healthy.<\/p>\n

The starting QB will be annointed after beating out the other in training camp rather than starting b\/c he has the higher contract.<\/p>\n

Players will learn more than one position so a couple of injuries won’t end the season immediately. Looking forward to, now & then, seeing Trevor Johnson line up at TE & Kimo von Oelhoffen at FB.<\/p>\n

Our players will be in shape.<\/p>\n

Our players will have an interest in the team as well as their contracts – didn’t Mangini have the players watch game film of the draft prospects this year?<\/p>\n

Our opponents will not know our gameplans on the Tuesday before kickoff.<\/p>\n

We actually wait for the best offer for a commodity (Abraham) instead of giving it away for nothing to a buddy (Herm).<\/p>\n

We will fill the roster with future need positions before we actually need them. Then play these young guys before the veteran is ready for the glue factory.<\/p>\n

No more insane contracts\/trades for players who haven’t proven worthy yet (Chad, DRob), or who have shown that their ceiling\/attitude doesn’t warrant all that cap space (Abe) so we can use it on other players.<\/p>\n

I haven’t been this excited about a Jets off-season in a long time. AND that’s with expecting them to suck badly. Sucking would somehow be watchable if you know you’re on the rise & building something; if losing is because you simply don’t have the (mature) talent to compete yet & not because your coach can’t count, plan ahead, do something other than smile\/clap after a brutal call by officials, or assist in the gameplan at all during a game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
