27. New York Jets

Speaking of teams that failed to live up to the hype, let’s talk about how much of a disaster this season turned out for the New York Jets after falling just shy of reaching the playoffs the previous year. Everyone expected the Jets to emerge as one of the teams to beat in the AFC during Todd Bowles‘ second year as head coach for the team, but the team struggled to overcome a 1-5 start before eventually going on to win just five games all season.

As much as New York doesn’t want to hear it, this team is an absolute mess heading into the offseason with plenty of big decisions to make at numerous positions, especially at quarterback. Thank goodness the Jets didn’t give in to Ryan Fitzpatrick‘s demands last offseason by rewarding the veteran with a long-term deal when seeing how much he struggled throughout the 2016 season.

From New York’s perspective, the smart move would be to start fresh, and select a quarterback in the upcoming draft to build the franchise around since none of the current ones on the roster seem to be the right fit. Not to mention Darrelle Revis seems to be washed up, and looked like anything but a dominant cornerback this past season when seeing how often receivers would blow by him.
