Note: The Jets are in offseason mode but there was some news as Elliotte Friedman reported that the team was interviewing Barry Trotz for their vacant head coaching position.
Note II: The Moose held their end of season media availability on Tuesday and there was a ton of good content that came out of it starting with our chat with head coach Mark Morrison. We will have an end of season wrap up show similar to what we did last season on our IC YouTube channel.
