Analysis: The Jets let their GM spend nearly $200 million in free agency, then fired him
Mike Maccagnan orchestrated the entirety of a crucial offseason before the Jets fired him a bizarre move. By Adam Kilgore Adam Kilgore Reporter covering national sports Email Bio Follow May 15 at 1:53 PM The New York Jets, it could be fairly argued, possessed more untapped resources at the start of the offseason than any other NFL franchise.
It takes zero understanding of the NFL, and only the most elementary notion of how executive power structures work, to realize the timing of that chain of events is on-its-face nonsensical.What are the Jets doing? It’s hard to invent a rationalization.
“We have discussions on everything. That’s our job,” Gase said. “We have to work through so much stuff. That’s what we have to do. That’s all we’ve done since we’ve been here. Since we’ve started, we just constantly are in communication, whether he’s coming down to my office or I’m going to his office. That’s all we’re trying to do is just make sure we’re on the same page all the time, making sure that we’re trying to put this thing together as well as we can in a short period of time.
Jets owner Christopher Johnson left Maccagnan and his personnel staff in charge after the 4-12 regular season ended, keeping Maccagnan — whom the Jets hired in 2015 — even as the Jets fired Bowles. Given the importance of the offseason and the tools at their disposal, keeping Maccagnan felt like either one more chance to prove himself or a stamp of affirmation.
Keeping Maccagnan, and allowing him to make those crucial decisions, was apparently neither a last chance nor a stamp of approval. So what was it then, exactly? It is an admission the Jets do not know what they’re doing, a question that only begets more questions.
