No, the Jets brass tanking wouldn't surprise me. But I think they're incompetent. Unless hiring Gase was a 2-3 year tank plan.
I was speaking to the Dolphins and your claim that "Eventually, the NFL competition committee got involved." Would be interested in how they got involved. That link was a fluff piece.
For the record, I'm a firm believer that coaches and players don't tank for a better draft pick.
