“#Greg Van Roten on Jets’ tanking talk: ‘Nothing is guaranteed’”
“It doesn’t matter to me, because if we lose every game there’s a possibility that I’m not going be here next year,” said Van Roten, who signed a three-year contract worth $10.5 million as a free agent in April. “So it doesn’t matter who the Jets end up drafting, that’s kind of how you have to think about it in this league.
“Nothing is guaranteed — not the next game, not the next week, not the next year, not even the next play. You don’t know which play is going to be your last, so you can’t concern yourself with long-term in this league.”
