The Jets’ offseason instability also concerns Cowherd. 

“Aaron Rodgers has already missed the mandatory mini-camp. Hassan Reddick is a no show. Arthur Smith was rumored of getting hired by the Jets to babysit their offensive play caller, Nathanial Hackett. But yeah, they are going to win the Super Bowl,” Cowherd said sarcastically. 

“The Jets are just…
