CBS Sports sees more improvement in the New York Jets roster than most others.
A welcomed surprised.
The outlet released their latest roster rankings as others have this offseason. Different sites have seen the Jets improve, such as Pro Football Focus. PFF slotted New York into the No. 24 overall spot.
But CBS Sports brings more heat. The Jets have the 20th best roster in the NFL, according to their poll.
That comes after an offseason where New York made numerous additions both in free agency and the draft.
DJ Reed and Jordan Whitehead joined the secondary as free agents, but the marquee signing was the addition of Laken Tomlinson on the offensive line. Via the 2022 NFL draft, the Jets further bolstered their ranks with three first-round picks: WR Garrett Wilson, CB Sauce Gardner and DE Jermaine Johnson.
As far as this roster ranking is concerned, there could be some good things en route for the Jets.
Or at least compared to the New England Patriots.
The long-time AFC East winners are actually the lowest-ranked divisional team in CBS Sports’ ratings. The Buffalo Bills do take the top placement while the Miami Dolphins are at No. 14, but the Pats are at No. 24.
Tough break, Patriots.
