Mason is still an above average player and a young QB's best friend, and he's likely to enjoy an end of career similar to Jerry Rice's. Plax is just old and wasn't that good before he shot himself in the leg.

The Jets receiving corps is adequate now, but they would have been better served hoping for a strong bounceback year from Cotchery than moving on to two 34+ year old guys. I really like Brian Schottenheimer, but he's got very little to work with at the skill positions this year, not to mention a gaping hole at RT.

The Jets do not strike me as a very good team, and I don't know if merely a top ten defense can get them to the playoffs.
