“You have to discover what it means to be a professional,” he said. “That’s a big part of building culture. The last two weeks we can really see who’s on board, moving forward and who’s ready to go. It’s just part of the game. I’ve been on a couple of teams that were out and It is interesting to observe the habits of practice, the habits of preparation.
“Hopefully, we’ll do the right thing, and it means a lot because everyone is watching, and it’s a matter of who you know. There will be interesting conversations in the coming weeks, but focus on the relationships we have together and try to finish this like a professional.”
The Jets underwent dramatic changes during the season, from the firing of their head coach and general manager to a major trade for Davante Adams.
The team could see more changes as Garrett Wilson has not committed to his future with the team.
