The duo position to lead the Jets didn’t reveal too much when they spoke to reporters Wednesday. Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh mostly confirmed a lot of what everyone already knew but gave a few updates on some of the biggest question marks as the Jets enter the new league year later this month.
Sam Darnold and Marcus Maye’s futures dominated the conversation, as the Jets will need to decide on whether or not to keep both very soon. Maye is set to be an unrestricted free agent if New York doesn’t place the franchise tag on him by March 9 or re-sign him before March 14, while Darnold is prime trade bait if the Jets want to draft a quarterback second overall.
New York’s approach to free agency and the draft were also discussed, though Douglas kept the same stance he always has when it comes to the offseason – don’t overspend and build through the draft.
Here are four takeaways from the press conference.
