    Ok. I would love to know what his offer to Orlando Franklin was, if there was one.

    WAAAAAAH.

    Shut up. Can we at least wait, I dunno, 1 day into his first free agency before getting 'frustrated' with the new gm? You guys are ridiculous sometimes.

    Btw, big names don't always = best option.

    It's a process.

    Maybe we are just sitting tight for that boatload of picks from the Eagles to come in, having to sign Foles to a long term deal.

    People were saying this same bullshit during free agency last year....Don't Overpay!!!! We ended up with no one and went 4-12.If overpaying a few guys helps us get back to the playoffs I'm all for it.

    Ok, and of those teams, they allegedly have 1 signee.

    Make that 2, Jax totally overpaid for a OT that started like 7 games.

    And they are loser franchises that fail at everything that they do. What is your point?

    Because Reggie McKenzie can't get anybody, Jet fans should be content?

    I'm not that nervous yet but watching us "agressivly pursuing" players and coming up short is getting old.This roster is paper thin right now

    Honestly it doesn't seem like they went after anyone hard,.l there gonna go hard after revis, probably sign cro or browner, there gonna attemp to trade out of 6 and get foles. We need lineman.. I hope they have a plan for that. I just have a feeling we're gonna be ok, and as a jet fan I usually feel impending doom. Lol

    Your point was that we are in an elite group of teams with excess money, and I was pointing out that there haven't been many alleged surreal signings by the teams with excess cap space.

    Let's be realistic here. The Jets have money. They also have a new regime, and are coming off a 4-12 season. So let's not all pretend and become holier than thou, the Jets have been pretty lousy as well. Our FO got shit canned because of fans putting up billboards. Believe it or not, it's still a pretty tough sell.

    That said, FA starts tomorrow. So who knows what will happen. I'm as anxious as the next guy, but it's a bit premature to jump off a bridge. Shoot, some of these "reports" aren't even going to be accurate come tomorrow.

    I hope that's sarcasm - if that's our big plan (which we have no reason to believe will happen as we have no idea if Mariota will be available at pick 6
    Big trades don't happen (for the most part in the NFL). Big move could be coming, big trade is much less likely.

    Understood that Macc may be facing an uphill battle as far as having to "recruit" guys.

    But that's part of his job. That's what he's getting paid for. It's too early to pass judgment obviously. All I'm saying is the last 48 hours have not exactly been inspiring.

    Have some faith in the fact that he HAS to spend a ton of money this offseason by league rule. That might be the only factual thing we have right now, he is obligated to spend that money. So we have that!

    Haha this thread is funny. Earlier today before the NFL put a gag order on teams, agents were leaking "deal is done" on so many players probably to get other teams to raise their offers, bet. Nobody is signed anywhere yet and won't be till tomorrow no matter what they say. Hell the deal was almost done for this guy in Oakland and then the gag order got put in place and most of the leaks stopped

    For all we know the Raiders and Jets bidding war lost steam and Iupati's agent told him to start telling his loudmouth buddies that he was going to sign with Arizona just to get them to start raising stakes again

    People need to chill until we start seeing those cornball Twitter pics of players putting pen to paper
