With the Jets season now halfway over and the playoff chances looking dim after a surprising start, I thought it was a good time to look at the Jets and where they go from here. This has little to do with any contract related stuff and its just my usual yearly Jets assessment, so if […]
Last week I looked at the value of QB play in the NFL and this week I turned my attention to running backs. My valuation process was pretty similar.

It was hailed as the worst contract in Steelers history (which actually says a lot for how good the Steelers have been with their contracts) since he barely played […]
