The Jets are always catching strays.

The New York Jets are typically viewed as one of the worst organizations in the NFL, and at times, that's tough to argue with.
The Jets just haven't done enough over much of their existence to suggest that they're a good football team.
As things currently stand, New York is certainly trying to change its ways, hoping that this most recent draft class and other decisions over the past year or so with head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey can put them in a position to succeed.
Around the league, there are a lot of very impressive franchises, including the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, the Steelers haven't played the type of football that anybody expects out of them in recent years, and they were recently criticized for some of the decisions they've made, with Colin Cowherd saying that the Steelers are closer to the Jets than they are to an elite franchise.
“The Steelers view themselves, because of their history, as an elite franchise. The Steelers are much closer to the Jets… but they’re a more functional version,” Cowherd said, H/T Heavy. “The idea that the good teams in the league would just allow a 41-year-old quarterback to string them along is laughable. Eagles aren’t doing that. Rams aren’t doing that. Chiefs aren’t doing that.”
I wouldn't say a team that is always in the playoffs is any bit close to the Jets, but that's just my opinion.
I understand what Cowherd is saying, as the Steelers haven't necessarily been in a position to win a Super Bowl despite making the playoffs, but there's still something to be said about some of the success they've found over the past few decades.
