2018 will be a defining year for the New York Jets as they’ll have a lot of salary cap money to play with and a decent first round pick. Here’s how much different they could look next season.

The New York Jets current season has been highlighted by rookie development, culture manipulation, and some unexpected accomplishments, making 2017 quite a standout year despite the below average record.

Much of all of that has come from the production of some under-the-radar players who have been reluctant enough to step into the spotlight amidst a season of negative portrayal. It has been a latter movement all the way from the quarterback to the kicker, and to the safeties to the pass rushers. The Jets have flipped a team of no-names into a team of up and coming threats.

But with 2017 nearing its end, how many of these developments will we see on the future roster? While many of the Jets younger pieces are under contract for quite some time, it is still quite possible that we see a major shift in some key positions along the board. Some current Jets with expiring contracts are Josh McCown, Demario Davis, Chandler Catanzaro, Kony Ealy, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and Morris Claiborne.

So with that, let’s go position by position and predict who will be wearing a Green & White uniform come 2018.
