The New York Jets 2016-2017 betting odds had the franchise winning 7.5 regular season games at -140, 7-1 of winning the AFC East and 60-1 of winning the Super Bowl.
The quarterback situation for the Jets remains up in the air with Ryan Fitzpatrick waiting on the sidelines.
Manish Mehta of the Daily News wrote Wednesday of Jets head coach Mike Maccagnan:
Mike Maccagnan has inexplicably chosen to ignore every important voice in the Jets locker room, deferring to the voices in his head that have led him down a dangerous road.
“What the hell are they doing over there?” one general manager asked Mehta this week, as he relayed in his piece.
Mehta writes:
The Jets, coming off a 10-win season with a quarterback coming off a franchise-record 31 touchdown passes for the most prolific offense in franchise history, have mishandled this situation.
Why has Maccagnan been playing silly games with the player, who frankly saved his derriere last year after the general manager’s first choice to play quarterback got clocked in the jaw over a matter of a few hundred bucks?
These negotiations have engendered ill will regardless of what anyone says publicly.
Maccagnan has done his coaches and players no favors along the way.
