Jets offseason recap: Additions, losses and a front office shakeup

The Jets have gone through quite the makeover this offseason. Between hiring a new head coach, general manager, a plethora of other coaching and front office moves, as well as several player signings, the 2019 version of the Jets will look a lot different than it’s 2018 counterpart.

For a team that went an abysmal 4-12 this past season, a breath of fresh air could do the Jets wonders. The team hasn’t made the playoffs in almost a decade, and sophomore quarterback Sam Darnold thinks this new version of the Jets is a playoff and Super Bowl contender.

With that in mind, here is a complete list of the Jets offseason moves before training camp begins.
