The New York Jets have been accused

This offseason, the Jets are showing that their main goal is to win and they are doing everything they can to unseat the Patriots in the AFC.

First of all, the Jets gave D'Brickashaw Ferguson a hefty contract extension of six years with a huge pay raise.

In fact, this offseason, the Jets have splurged way more than most of the league. They have been one of the most aggressive teams this offseason. They are trying to build on their rollercoaster season last year that peaked in the playoffs, as they reached the AFC Championship game before they were defeated by a much more composed Indianapolis Colts team.

The Jets acquisitions this offseason have now led them to having 12 positional players who have been to the Pro Bowl before. That is the same amount as the team they are trying to dethrone, the New England Patriots.

In the last couple of years, the Jets have proven that they are out to win. They didn't hesitate to experiment with Dustin Keller when he became available and traded for him before the 2008 season.

In the 2008 draft, they traded up to get Mark Sanchez, giving them a quarterback to build around.

Now this offseason, the Jets have been very aggressive. They traded for Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes, who will serve a suspension at the start of the season. Shortly after, they also traded for former Pro Bowler Antonio Cromartie, and signed longtime Chargers franchise running back Ladainian Tomlinson.

The Jets also signed longtime Miami Dolphin Jason Taylor. Also, in the past couple of seasons, they have also added Kris Jenkins, Bart Scott and Damien Woody. Those players don't come around cheap.

The Jets now have a payroll of over $112 million and that number will go higher. On top of signing Darrelle Revis  Ferguson, the Jets will still have to spend over $200 million in contracts if they are to extend center Nick Mangold, linebacker David Harris and cornerback Darrelle Revis.

Revis wants to be the highest paid cornerback in the league. Last season, he was the best corner and he wants to be paid accordingly. That means the Jets would have to pay him over $15 million per season.

The home opener against Miami on Sept. 12 and the Nov. 28 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers are now considered sellouts. Season tickets are still available for the 2010 season, including the Miami and Pittsburgh games. Limited individual seats remain for the Oct. 3 game against the New York Jets jerseys.
