Jets' Mougey Makes Waves with Aggressive Offseason

0:00On April 2nd, Darren Mugi has been the Jets General Manager for just over a year, and he's already making waves as the sharp talent spotter and smart. Trader. He's gone aggressive in free agency with deals that fit the budget short term, rebuilding the roster around a dozen new coaches, including Offensive, Coordinator Frank Reich, and Defensive Coordinator Brian Duker. The defense got top priority early on, with Mugi bringing back 17-year veteran linebacker Demario Davis for his third stint. He traded for safety, Mika Fitzpatrick for Miami, swapped Edge Russia, Germaine Johnson, for promising defensive tackle to Vandre Sweat from Tennessee, and signed Edges, Joseph Ossai, and Kingsley and Agbary, plus tackle David Onyamata on one-year deals. They also added a cornerback Nishan Wright and Safety Dame Belton, both on one-year contracts. Just like Brian Baldinger are impressed, saying the Jets did their homework by grabbing healthy veterans with leadership chops.

1:00These moves inject experience instead of pro-standard for practice and prep, especially with the new defensive coordinator calling plays like he did in, Detroit. On offense, Mugi traded for veteran quarterback Geno Smith from the Raiders, then signed Guard Dylan Parme after some lineman left. They resigned Max Mitchell for depth, building on last year's stability, with guys like Senator Josh Myers and Ricky Wright tackle Armand Membu. Now the defense has real competition at safety, corner and along the line, which is a great sign heading into camp. With better quarterback play and that fresh coaching staff, the Jets live prime to compete.
