Seahawks = matt Flynn + 2nd rounder Niners = alex smith + 2nd rounder or alex smith + kendall hunter + 3rd rounder
If Idzik doesn't get us at least, AT LEAST a 1st and a 3rd then I will headline the Fire Idzik Thread, I can tell you that much.
^Unless it's a #1 overall or something close. I just read the NY post article, and Schwartz said, "If I'm the Kansas City Chiefs, I offer the #1 overall pick for him". That would be pretty bad ass to get a #1 overall. I'd take that #1, and trade it down for a later 1 and 2+3 or something like that. We'd have 2 firsts, 2 seconds and 2 third round picks. That should be enough to stock up on Linebackers and offensive linesman. I want that to be the theme of this draft, and try to get an early RB as well. I really really hate to see Revis go, however, but it's either now or risk losing him and taking a 9 million dollar hit for 2014. I don't understand that cap hit at all, what the fuck was Tanny thinking with that contract? He should be rehired and then fired again for that shit! Funny now that he's gone we're starting to realize just how many bad contracts he signed. I didn't even know about that 9 million hit for 2014 if he leaves.
My side of the argument is simple. He's got one year at 6 mil, and is a two time holdout, following the Sean Gilbert school of negotiation. So.... A high 2. You?
Dude this thing sucks. For some reason, I can't even quote a new post without doucheing the memory. But it keeps my ass off the hard office chair at the pc. Apologies.
You honestly think a team would trade for Revis without a contract already done? Cmon man, you’re [hopefully] better than that. A trade isnt getting done unless Revis agrees with a new contract with his new team, because as then the Jets would definitely not be maximizing his value (a hugh 2 as you say). If Revis decides to hold out with that new team in 3 years, that’s their problem...
10 per ent of the cap on a corner, is cause for immediate termination of a GM. Al Davis cou,d do it because he was an owner.
Matt Flynn has no chance to push Sanchez. Alex Smith could, but would crumble in the media shitstorm, if he won
Rex wants to keep Mevi$ +SHARE By Gregg Rosenthal Published: January 24, 2013 at 7:42 AM Modified: January 24, 2013 at 7:28 PM New York Jets coach Rex Ryan is fond of referring to Darrelle Revis as the best defensive player in the NFL. It should be no surprise that Ryan reportedly wants to keep his cornerback. My old boss, Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, reported Thursday that Ryan doesn't want to trade Revis. The cornerback is coming off anterior cruciate ligament surgery and has only one year left on his contract, so Jets owner Woody Johnson has made it clear he wants to explore all options with Revis. To recap: The owner might want to trade the team's best player. The coach wants to keep him. The general manager, who was just hired, is caught in the middle. The coach and general manager don't know each other. On top of all that, Johnson wasn't exactly effusive in his praise of Ryan to prospective general managers in interviews. Former Denver Broncos executive Ted Sundquist interviewed with the Jets and said Johnson's wildly supportive news conference of Ryan was not reflective of the owner's feelings behind closed doors. "I think Mr. Johnson realizes there are weaknesses and deficiencies there," Sundquist told ESPNNewYork.com. "He was adamant about how the players love Rex, their connection with him. But then he was like, 'That said ... ' -- and he listed X, Y and Z, the things Rex needs to improve upon." Ryan has two years left on his contract. Revis has one. It wouldn't be a shock if they both work elsewhere in 2014. Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal. Sorry if this was already posted, I have not seen it.
The Sundquist thing is the main reason that I am skeptical about the Idzik hire. Yeah, Woody went out and got a consultant to help him find a new GM. One of the candidates is a blogger who is now using that interview to go buck wild in the media about the state of the team. If that consulting firm is so clueless about candidates that they would bring a guy in who has very overt ulterior motives, how confident can we be about the character of the other candidates?
Alex Smith took almost a decade to show that he was halfway decent and all it took was the team surrounding him with all stars on the offensive line, at runningback and tight end, and a very solid receiving corps that they keep trying to stick with talent. That sucker would fail all day long on this team.
Yeah, all of this sounds like assumption. Rex thinks Revis the best, therefore, it can be reported that Rex wants to keep him putting the new GM in the middle. Great reporting douchebags.
No thanks on both. Those Qb's are or will want big money and are not that good, I'd rather draft one either this year or next and bring in a veteran of the WCO. Kendall Hunter is now a 3rd choice rb. Their using Lamicheal James more and more now
Of course Rex wants to keep him. Rex is a coach with the best CB in the league on his team. That is perfectly natural. He cannot be commenting to people about it though. He can voice it in the "collaborative" meeting. With our moronic media, I wonder if anyone has said anything. Or if they are just throwing out their 'anonymouses." That is a practice that has to stop.
Maybe. Maybe this guy realized that he has not been a GM for a few years, could not get the Jet job, and does not figure to get many more offers, so he is burning bridges.
To be fair, you would think that most candidates who are interviewing for this (or any job) would be willing to not talk about it so openly. It's not the fault of Woody or the firm that they guy can't keep his mouth shut when he has been interviewed for a position. I'm actually curious if he has ever interviewed for GM openings in the past, and if so, did he blab about what that team did/said to the media...? Guy is trying to sell drama in the Jets organization where I bet most cap-strapped organizations are going through the same dilemma.
Greggggg Rosenthal is the guy that used to be on PFT and work with Florio, and I think we all know the position that site had/has regarding the Jets.
