N.Y. Jets Top List of Free Agency Winners

We’re only ten days into the 2008 free agency signing period so I hesitate to hand out awards, but I’m on a “Best of…” assignment and there are several teams (namely Minnesota, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Buffalo) who have already strongly upgraded their rosters. The N.Y. Jets, however, have been the best of the bunch.

The Jets seemed determined to get things moving in the right direction by going on a shopping spree. They’ve already spent over $120 million with the additions of OL Alan Faneca (Steelers); FB Tony Richardson (Vikings); DT Kris Jenkins (Panthers, via trade); OL Damien Woody (Lions); LB Calvin Pace (Cards); and sleeper RB Jesse Chatman (Miami). Alan and Tony were All-Pros last season. In my opinion, both are the best at their positions. Calvin will be a monster in the Jets’ 3-4 scheme. And Jesse might produce better numbers than Michael Turner in Atlanta in ‘08. I compare the two because both were backups awaiting starting roles. His 124 rushing yards against the Bills and 10.4 ypc against the Pats (both in losses) last season were not flukes.
