What it means
New York skewed toward size and length on defense and kept four tight ends to support heavier personnel groupings. The QB room gives Brian Daboll flexibility while the WR group blends top-end explosiveness (Nabers/Hyatt) with a special-teams ace in Olszewski. Early practice-squad churn is likely as injuries clear and waiver claims settle.
