Supporting TraitDefensive Foundation

PFM ReporterNew York Jets: Contract Watch Gives the Rating More Context
The New York Jets depth chart is the part of this update worth watching. Of course, all three of the Jets first round-round picks have signed their deals, along with second-round pick D'Angelo Ponds, fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik, sixth-round pick Anez Cooper, and Cimini noted that while the negotiation is ongoing, there's no disagreement when it comes to the total amount of money on the contract. Hopefully, Jackson will get. That matters because the New York Jets team-building picture is often decided by these second-level moves.
The board gives this team a pretty clean label: the New York Jets are No. 26 on the board with a 73.28 public PFM score after they held steady. Geno Smith is still the quarterback reference point. The New York Jets gap is not subtle, with defense at 77.11 and offense down at 70.94.
That is a workable formula for the New York Jets, especially if Roster Strength keeps traveling. The next New York Jets jump has to come from Recent Performance. It is a useful reminder that one New York Jets strength can carry the read only so far. If that weaker New York Jets grade moves, the overall read starts to look a lot more convincing.
PFM RatingsWhat the PFM Numbers Say
PFM has New York at No. 26 with a score of 73.3. The team sits in our Needs More Help tier. Inside the AFC East, the Jets are No. 4. PFM sees a fairly even team on both sides of the ball: 70.9 on offense and 77.1 on defense. If you want to know what this team does best, start with Roster Strength at 79.2. That is the biggest reason for the Work in Progress archetype. Geno Smith gives New York a workable answer at quarterback. The 73.7 QB Stability grade, No. 27 in PFM shows there is still room for more.
There is a 15.4-point gap between the best and worst grades. This is still a very uneven team. Recent Performance is down at 63.8. The stronger parts of the team will not matter as much if the wins do not follow.
