Look for Jets to get younger

Next season is already here for Mike Maccagnan and the New York Jets.

As the NFL playoffs began without the Jets for the sixth straight year, the general manager faces plenty of questions in an offseason of uncertainty.

The biggest will be — surprise! — addressing the team’s quarterback situation, which is dismal at the moment with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Geno Smith scheduled to be free agents, Bryce Petty coming off a shoulder injury and Christian Hackenberg unable to get on the field for a single snap during a redshirt rookie season.

“I’m not going to necessarily speculate on where we are in terms of that position,” Maccagnan said. “I do think we have two good, young quarterbacks that we are excited about seeing going forward. But to me, all options are on the table in terms of how we are going to approach that position.”

That means the starter in 2017 could be on another roster at the moment.

Several veterans could be salary-cap casualties as New York needs to create some room to get under the cap. Cornerback Darrelle Revis (15.3 million cap hit), left tackle Ryan Clady ($10.5 million), center Nick Mangold ($9.075 million), right tackle Breno Giacomini ($5.125 million) and wide receiver Brandon Marshall ($7.5 million) could all be asked to take pay cuts or be shown the door.

That could open up opportunities for young players to have bigger roles next season, just as Robby Anderson, Wesley Johnson, Darron Lee and Jordan Jenkins saw significant playing time this past season.

Hold the charges

Some wise guy changed the name of the 1-15 Browns’ training facility on Google Maps to “Cleveland Clowns.” Here’s guessing it wasn’t a San Diego Charger.

Running into a wall

A man in Germany made a shocking discovery when he opened his front door: Someone had built a brick wall in his doorway overnight. Coincidence? Rams RB Todd Gurley had the same recurring dream all season.

Pounding the football

Dontari Poe, the Chiefs’ 346-pound defensive tackle, made NFL history Christmas night when he became the heaviest player to throw a TD pass, a 2-yarder against the Broncos. For those of you scoring at home, that was good for a 118.75 passer rating and a 5.7 on the Richter scale.

Headlines

■ Jets receiver Brandon Marshall, to Showtime’s “Inside the NFL,” on his team’s 5-11 season: “The best way I can describe it is having a diaper on and never changing it. And just sitting in that diaper the whole year.”

■ Odell Beckham Jr. is one of the NFL’s most dynamic players. In three seasons he has 288 catches for 4,122 yards and 35 touchdowns for the Giants. He is also a distraction with his antics on or off the field. Going to Miami for a day in the week leading up to the Packers debacle didn’t help his image. He has to get his act together. Coach Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese likely will keep after him in the future.
