It not only makes them a playoff team it makes them a potential division threat and a deep playoff team. You add the #4 defense, offensive rookie of the year at WR and what may have been the offensive rookie of the year at RB had he not been injured with an average QB (which Carr is) and you have the makings of a dangerous team.
I know most of us have black and gold blinders on but New York is a much better situation than we have. If the money is close, he'd be a fool not to go to the Jets.
