None of these signings are winning them a Super Bowl obviously but they're all smart moves and hopefully a sign of what's to come with John Idzik as the Jets' new GM.
Mike Goodson has always been in crowded backfields in Carolina and Oakland but he's young at only 25 and has looked impressive when he's been given the rock. If he can manage to not fumble, he could be a steal.
Antonio Garay is a good depth singing, big guy in the middle who can be effective at NT in a rotation.
Willie Colon addresses the OL that was so dismal last year. Again, he has injury concerns but is solid if healthy.
Even David Garrard wasn't a bad move based on the options available to be a competitor for Sanchez.
There has been a lot of mocking this team by fans and media. They've lost a lot. Big names on defense, Keller, etc. But let's be real - Idzik is making something out of the nothing he has to work with.
We'll see what happens with Revis but I already like that we're not hearing massive rumors leak daily as was always the case with Tannenbaum.
The Jets may be bad this year but Idzik seems savvy so far and the type that will work to build a team, like he helped to do in Seattle, rather than just hemorrhage picks for a big name or sign foolish extensions.
I like the way Idzik is operating and even if next year might be painful, the initial signs are positive that the Jets may have the right guy to turn this mess around - count me in.
