While the team will certainly make a few more moves before the real bullets start flying in late July, the vast majority of offseason needs have been fulfilled with the initial waves of free agency and the draft in the books.

That could serve him just fine in the NFL.
Or it could bite him, especially in the unforgiving New York/New Jersey market.
