The Jets ought to be throughout this. How might they not be? … That is one which’s over all of our heads [as general managers]. This comes from the highest. One morning the proprietor calls you and says, ‘I need Lamar Jackson,’ and your job turns into getting Lamar Jackson. Similar factor with the Falcons. They’ve to satisfy with this child and see what he needs. It’s a must to discover it.”
