The New York Jets didn’t get a chance to participate in the playoffs this year, but the fans of the green and white did get some sick pleasure in watching how things unfolded.
The primary of which featured the passing of the torch from the New England Patriots to the Buffalo Bills in epic fashion.
For the first time in the Bill Belichick era, the Pats were humiliated, embarrassed, and flat-out trounced in a blowout playoff loss 47 to 17.
Although that apparently wasn’t the only loss that titillated the fans and a certain former player of the Jets.

Roasted and Toasted
During the triple-header of playoff football on Sunday the Dallas Cowboys welcomed in the San Francisco 49ers for a historic clash of the titans.
America’s Team ended up blowing it in epic fashion losing 23 to 17 and a former Jets legend enjoyed every second of it.
Future Pro Football Hall of Famer, Darrelle Revis, tweeted out, “Same ole Cowboys” with a viral picture of a Dallas fan who was quite displeased with the result:
Same ole Cowboys.
The Jets and Cowboys have had a very strange recent history with one another, despite being in opposite conferences in the NFL.
Dallas Owner Jerry Jones was accused of tampering with former Jets safety Jamal Adams when he was looking for a trade back in 2019.
While America’s Team has had a ton of historical success with five Super Bowl championships, they haven’t had that same level of fortune versus Gang Green.
The Jets have won the last three matches in a row and that spans over 15 years. In other words, the last time Dallas beat the green and white was back in 2007.
A Delectable Menu of Tasty Options
Speaking of the Cowboys, they have an array of players that are set to be unrestricted free agents which could be ideal targets for the Jets.
Offense
- Cedrick Wilson, wide receiver
- Connor Williams, offensive lineman
- Michael Gallup, wide receiver
- Dalton Schultz, tight end
Defense
- Keanu Neal, linebacker/safety
- Leighton Vander Esch, linebacker
- Randy Gregory, EDGE
- Dorance Armstrong, EDGE
According to Spotrac, the Cowboys have negative $13 million in projected 2022 cap space. Somehow that only ranks 29th in the NFL.
In other words, Dallas won’t be able to keep everyone, so some of these talented players are going to reach the open market and that’ll be a great opportunity for the Jets to poach some insane talent.
The two biggest names to watch are Neal and Schultz.
The former safety converted linebacker was down to the Cowboys and the Jets in free agency last year, so it would make sense there would still be interest there.
While the void at tight end was hard to ignore this year for the Jets and Schultz will likely land a megadeal during free agency. That could be a match made in heaven.
