Columnist Stephen A. Smith of ESPN.com says if the Jets are serious about winning the Super Bowl, then retaining cornerback Antonio Cromartie should be their top priority during free agency. Writes Smith: If the Jets plan on winning an additional amount of football games this upcoming season, it might bode well for them to go and get Plaxico Burress. If they want to look flashy while doing so, then Randy Moss is their man. But if a Super Bowl berth is, indeed, at the top of the agenda -- along with finally fulfilling a multitude of guarantees bloviated by coach Rex Ryan -- then Gang Green needs to ignore both of them, along with all this rhetoric about their growth at quarterback, and focus their attention on keeping Antonio Cromartie in town.
If you're the Jets, the focus has to be on stability. On building off a season in which your defense was third in the league in yards allowed per play (4.76) and per game (291.5).
You don't get better as a team by diminishing your greatest strength and, clearly, the Jets' defense is their strength.
