The New York Jets are in Seattle. This is the first thing. The chance of a lifetime is that Mike White will get the first chance to be the quarterback of the future. He will also face playoff-like intensity on Sunday. White has to play for his future in order to survive. He will be an unrestricted free agent and could make a nice amount of money. According to an agent who represents prominent quarterbacks, if White plays well and leads the Jets to the playoffs, he could get a two-year, $30 million contract. The agent projected a floor of $10 million to $12 million annually. The agent said that White has enough good games on tape to convince teams that he is a bridge quarterback. Is the Jets going to try to re-sign him? If White ends with a flurry, it doesn't mean he's the quarterback. White would be weighed against other quarterbacks in the organization's evaluation. Within three days of the Super Bowl, the Las Vegas Raiders will likely cut or trade their star player. Jimmy Garoppolo is due to become a free agent and the 49ers would be interested in him. White has only six career starts and is a favorite in the locker room. The Jets might prefer a more proven player with more at stake. White has two games to state his case, but he insists he won't think ahead. Last year, he learned that lesson. He wants to concentrate on Seattle. He said that the starting job was just the opportunity. When you're named the starter, you wear that Badge with Honor. There are two Is it true that there are restless people in Seattle? Woody Johnson could be tested if the Jets end the season with a six-game losing streak. He has not made any major changes since 2015, when he hired Mike Maccagnan as the general manager. The organization is curious as to how he will react if the season ends in disaster. Woody has been doing well. He wants to win the game. We are all looking for answers. When Johnson takes a step back, he is likely to see that the organization is in a better place than it was a year ago. The current slide is being used as a teaching tool. This is a silver lining and not all of it has been great. Through adversity is where you find out the most about yourself and where you have the most growth. That is how we are attacking it. Since 1996, the Jets have not dropped five straight after the 10th game. In 1986 and 1994 it did happen. There are three. Were you aware? Hall hasn't played in two months because of a knee injury, but he's still the team's leading running back. There are four. D.J. Reed is motivated for the revenge game. He said Seattle's offer was "insulting" when he joined the team. He said he has no ill will towards his former team. He allowed that he was looking forward to facing them. Reed was stung by not being selected to the Pro Bowl. It will be obvious next year. Check the latest picture of the playoffs. The Playoff machine.

There are five. He was overcome with emotion when he found out he had been selected to the Pro Bowl. Matthew Slater was a 10-time Pro Bowler. The gesture of congratulating him was classy.
He told me he had a vote.
There are six. Steve Young was critical of Wilson on the Michael Kay Show. Young, who has provided counsel on occasion, wasn't a fan of Wilson's benching in November. Young has changed his opinion on what's best for Wilson after seeing last week's poor performance.
I wasn't right. The Pro Football Hall of Famer said that he couldn't play at the moment. He has to leave the field because he isn't learning.
Young doesn't think that basic quarterback throws can happen in a game. The team recognizes the talent, but also recognizes something isn't right.
The most important personnel decision in the off-season will be Wilson's future.
There are seven. It's half empty. The Jets lead the league in plays out of the empty formation with 123, according to the Jets X-Factor website.
The Jets aren't the only team that hasn't scored a touchdown out of empty formations. The fourth-down goal-line play against the Minnesota Vikings was the most glaring example of being empty out.
It makes sense for a team that wants a strong running game to keep a running back in the backfield more often.
There are eight. PeteCarroll is one of the most influential people in his coaching career. He didn't know where he would end up after being out of work. He spent three seasons as a defensive quality-control coach for the Seattle.
"My wife is worried because she doesn't know where our next meal is going to come from because I didn't have a contract," he stated. I received a blessing when the good Lord came off the ropes.
There are nine. There are former Jets quarterbacks in the league. Every week, the Jets cross paths with one. Geno Smith left the Jets as a free agent six years ago and has blossomed into a legitimate starter. Ryan Fitzpatrick is an analyst for Prime Video for the Jets, Mark Brunell is an assistant coach for the Detroit Lions and Kevin O'Connell is the Minnesota Vikings coach.
Where did you go?
There are ten. We have to maximize each day and have fun on Sunday. We go out there and win. Reed said the team planned to do that.
