The Jets are losing games and starting players, but they're gaining draft picks.
General manager Joe Douglas has been busy dealing players on expiring contracts for draft capital. More moves could be coming before Tuesday's 4 p.m. NFL trade deadline. The message is very clear: the Jets are looking to the future, knowing this season is officially lost.
"I never look at waving the white flag. That's not my DNA," coach Adam Gase said on Monday. "This is our profession. When things like this happen, guys aren't ever going to be shocked by this. We're in a profession of we got to win games. When we don't, things change and younger guys get opportunities to play. That's what the NFL is. This is not unique."
