Michael Nash, Sports Editor
April 23, 2014
Back in the 70's and 80's, the Jets had one of the most dominant defensive lines in NFL history. Joe Klecko, Marty Lyons, Mark Gastineau, and Abdul Salaam were the members of that defensive line that were called " The New York Sack Exchange" for how often they caused havoc on the opposing quarterback....

A few years back, the New York Giants had a trio of running backs that were called " Earth, Wind, and Fire".

With twelve draft picks in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Jets roster will look very different come September than it does today.

So far in free agency, New York Jets General Manager John Idzik has been on the receiving end of a large amount of scrutiny from many fans for not being incredibly active.
