The General Managers

Woody Johnson’s general managers have left a lot to be desired.

Other than the one year of Bill Parcells, the position has been filled with names with no prior General Manager experience at all. A trend that that was evident in head coaching hires, as well. In fact, Terry Bradway, Mike Tannenbaum and John Idzik would only receive a combined one more chance to be a general manager in the NFL (Tannenbaum with the Miami Dolphins).

Current General Manager, Mike Maccagnan, joined the New York Jets just two years ago. In his first offseason, he was able to add Brandon Marshall, Darelle Revis and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

All moves turned out to be great but a year later, the team looks to be in shambles. Oh, the life of a New York Jets GM.
