Gas2No99 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 How much has Mike Maccagnan changed Jets' roster in 3 years? By Conn-man Ruse | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Mike Maccagnan took over as the Jets general manager in 2015. How much different does his team look this year, compared to that first season? It's kind of a unique approach, isn't it? Normally when general managers take over a team in dire shape, they instantly rip it apart to begin their rebuild. Rid the squad of the players they don't prefer, and start bringing in their guys. But Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan took a complete opposite approach. Maccagnan was hired by the Jets after the 2014 season. But instead of starting his rebuild that year, he went out and signed several veterans on the tail end of their careers. It worked... sort of. The Jets won 10 games that season. The next year, believing they were close to the playoffs, Maccagnan brought most everyone back. And you know how that turned out. So now, heading into Year 3, Maccagnan is finally starting his rebuild. He gutted the roster this offseason, with wideout Eric Decker and linebacker David Harris his latest two victims. But just how much different does the roster look from Maccagnan's first year, to now his third? Let's take a look.

Azuma Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Mac should change the team's name back to The Titans. We resemble an expansion team rather than an NFL team that's been in the league for 56 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thadude Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Besides Leonard Williams Macagnan has whiffed on every draft choice his first two drafts. All of the contracts he gave out sucked. The qb's he's recruited are hot garbage. But he did draft 2 Safeties in the first two rounds of this year's draft so he's a young Bill Polian now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while ASJ and Leggett are exciting, they're still dependent on a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great size, good athlete, former division one basketball player. He just needs to lay off the sauce and keep his playing weight down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
