    Chatelain: Giants Should Make Serious Play For Jets' Wilkerson
    By Ryan Chatelain » More Columns These three words might not be easy for Jets fans to hear as free agency kicks into fifth gear Thursday: Let Mo go. Provided other things work out, trading defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is the right move and could go a long way toward helping the Jets sustain what they started last season.
