CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Browns dramatically overhauled their roster prior to last season, creating a group that included 29 players with fewer than two years of NFL experience. That was 55 percent of the roster. Thirty percent were rookies.

Inevitably, the word "tank" began to come up more and more as the Browns limped to a 1-15 season, securing the No. 1 pick in the draft.

Now it seems to be the Jets' turn.

With the release of linebacker David Harris and the seemingly eminent cutting/trading of receiver Eric Decker, the Jets' roster has four players in their 30s. This continues an off-season of veteran shedding and a questionable approach to the quarterback position (the depth chart includes Josh McCown, Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty). Type "jets tanking" into Google and you'll be flooded with results just days old.

The question is, are the Browns somewhat to blame for this? Former Colts GM Bill Polian thinks so. Polian told ESPN's Mike & Mike that the Browns not only tanked last season, they started a trend. "The thing that worries me is that the Browns essentially tanked the season last year and no one said -- except a few of us -- said anything about it. And it may well be that this is something that can spread around the league, and I don't think that's good for the sport in the long run. Because in the end it robs the customers of the chance to see a competitive team."
