Todd Bowles has been a strong defensive-minded coach, and in his first year as a head coach, got a team to ten wins. However, the 2016 season, his commitment to Ryan Fitzpatrick, and the way that his team has flat out given up at times this season can give a reason that it is time to move on from Bowles. Once you lose your players, there is no coming back.

What Payton may see here is a team with a defense he has wanting, and an offense just a quarterback and scheme away. The Jets will be picking in the top five this year, but with the addition of Payton, and the talent on the defensive front, they may be players for a quarterback in a trade as well. Tony Romo, Carson Palmer, Jay Cutler and even Drew Brees become names that could be tossed around.

The Jets could then use their draft to sure up the secondary, and come into the season with a true high powered and feared offense. At running back, Matt Forte and Bilal Powell should be a strong duo, and Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa now join Brandon Marshall and a hopefully healthy Eric Decker to form an offense just a quarterback away. Payton can attract that quarterback, and he can revitalize the Jets in one off-season.
