Bell: Jets' additions are loaded with risk, reward

Marty Mornhinweg was on the phone the other day, and the buzz coming from him was palpable.

The bubbly New York Jets offensive coordinator is the seemingly lucky chap who was granted his top three free agency wishes - his own version of The Triplets, sorely needed to inject some juice in a sputtering unit.

Eric Decker? Until DeSean Jackson was kicked to the curb by Chip Kelly and headed south down I-95, Decker was arguably the best receiver on the market this year. Look at his huge stats.

Chris Johnson? He's got a 2,000-yard season on his resume, and with a $4 million average salary on his new deal he pretty much broke the bank for what they're paying NFL running backs these days.

Mike Vick? He lost his job to Nick Foles, but was arguably the best quarterback on the market. He found a perfect landing as he walked into the door knowing Mornhinweg's offense.

And if you believe Eagles star Shady McCoy, there's no way Vick doesn't beat out Geno Smith and win the job in yet another Jets quarterback "compe-versy."

Vick had the best years of his career under Mornhinweg in Philadelphia.

"He's still got it," Mornhinweg said of Vick, 33. "He's going to compete hard."

With the football world watching intensely.

Yes, Mornhinweg - whose unit ranked 29th in the NFL last season for scoring and 31st in passing yards - should be energized by the arrival of his new tools.
