I spent most of last offseason looking back at certain aspects of the Jets’ season by analyzing data compiled from all nineteen games, rather than watching film. For the next few weeks, I’m going to be revisiting some of the more interesting and relevant topics until free agency opens on March 13th. I will be revisiting as many different topics as possible, but welcome your suggestions or requests in the comments.
Back in July, I wrote about Dustin Keller’s 2010 production when he lined up as a wide receiver. This revealed some interesting trends and is of particular interest now, because people are speculating how the Jets will use Keller next season now that Tony Sparano is the offensive coordinator.
Let’s see if the trends identified in 2010 were repeated in 2011 and whether there was a move towards or away from using him in that role, before looking at his effectiveness to evaluate whether its something they should persevere with. (more…)
Over the course of the offseason, I’ll be posting a series of articles analyzing statistics and data rather than game film. I’ll also be revisiting last year’s offseason articles to see whether the conclusions drawn were indicative of what was actually going to happen during the season and using that information to try and determine what 2011’s data tells us about what might happen in 2012. However, before the new league year gets underway, I’m going to address some issues on the salary cap, draft picks, contracts and free agency side of things. Today I’m going to try and set out a realistic projection for what cap room the Jets are likely to have available once the new league year gets underway.
After the jump, I’ll set out the Jets current cap position as far as we are aware, then look at what money they need to spend this offseason, where they can make savings and where this will potentially leave them as the free agent market opens for business.
As ever, if you want to jump in with questions, corrections or speculation, feel free to do so. I am also open to ideas for things you’d like me to cover over the course of the offseason. (more…)

After the jump, I’ll list out all the picks initially held by the Jets, together with details of outstanding trades and potential compensatory picks.

Following the season-ending injury to Jim Leonhard on Sunday, the Jets added a veteran safety to their active roster earlier this week in the form of journeyman Gerald Alexander.
Alexander has been in the league since 2007 and has started multiple games, so there’s plenty of film on him for us to get a sense of what he might bring to the table. Of course, we will be most interested in the more recent footage as we try to determine why he wasn’t already on a roster at this stage of his career.
The book on Alexander is that he is athletic and he has decent size (6-1, 210), so should possess good range if they intend to employ him in a free safety role. However, he’s also been productive in run support, so they may also use him in the box. After the jump, the lowdown on his career so far and his credentials on entering the league, plus some detailed scouting notes. (more…)
