Here’s my ideal. 1) sign Kirk 2) sign Sammy Watkins if he hits the market 3) sign Carlos hyde or cj Anderson 4) bolster o line in free agency 5) trade back from 6 and attack remainder of the roster
Resign Demario Davis Quincy Enuwa WR ASJ TE Kony Ealy DE Mike Pennel DE Morris Claiborne CB Chandler Catanzaro K Draft 1 Sequon Barkley RB 2a. Arden Key OLB 2b. Frank Ragnow OC 3. Deon Cain WR 4. Alex Cappa OT 5.Troy Fumagali,TE 6. Riley Ferguson, QB 7. Mike Mccray, LB Free Agency QB Kirk Cousins QB Ryan Mallett QB Johnny Manziel WR Allen Robinson WR Donte Moncreif TE Tyler Eifert OG Andrew Norwell OC Weston Richburg RT Chris Hubbard DE Sheldon Richardson OLB Trent Murphy OLB Junior Gallette CB Kyle Fuller CB Bashaud Breeland Cuts Matt Forte RB James Carpenter OG Muhammad Wilkerson DE Buster Skrine CB
Some of the free agents will come pretty cheap. With $100 mil in cap space I don't see why we should go into the draft with any holes. Mallett is a solid # 2, much better than anything we have now. He is also 6'6" and unlikely to end up on IR. Manziel will come cheap and has a ton of upside. At worst he is camp fodder.
I think he's considered in the top 5, but he doesn't get nearly as much love as the other RBs, I agree ... I like him more then Nick Chubb ... this class is very deep at RB.
We still have to save $$$ to potentially resign Leonard Williams and Q ... cant blow the entire wad WR Allen Robinson WR Donte Moncreif TE Tyler Eifert OG Andrew Norwell DE Sheldon Richardson CB Bashaud Breeland Those won't come cheap IMO ... IDK what world Mallett is a solid #2 though, I would still resign McCown and draft a QB late, I think McCown is a upcoming coach in this league.
Eifert would cost less than $7 mil per year. Moncreif will basically be camp fodder, he won't make much at all. The other four guys ain't cheap but we need talent and they all have it.
So say thats about 50M, then 30M for Cousins that brings us to around 80M ... then rookies and depth? Yeah I don't know if that will work out
While I love Barkley, Penney might be a close second for a "do it all" RB and he can probably be had in the 2nd.
Cousins will probably cost around $20 mil this year as the signing bonus is spread over the life of the contract (salaries usually go higher). Other contracts will also grow over time rather than have an equal hit in each year. If we are allowed to do so I would extend Leonard Williams now. We really do not have too many guys on the roster now that we have to worry about losing later. Part of the reason I have us signing two CBs along with Eifert is that we could lose ASJ and McClendon. I would like to have them back at the right price but there are other options.
Want no part of that moron... he says all the right things and does the exact opposite... I’d take Hack or Petty any day.. at least they won’t be hung over trying to play backyard football
I don't like the idea of signing Hyde or cj . There are plenty RB in this year's draft. I'ld like to see Us get penny in the third round
might be able to get him a round later, Sony Michel Eifert would be nice, but he can't stay healthy. McClendon's contract was exercised, so he will be back. I still don't think we will be able to sign all of those players, but it's not worth the further debate IMO. They are good players I would like on the Jets.
Whose going to throw preseason TDs and get overjoyed to be our savior at QB, if we cut TGG hall of fame Petty?
Sheldon??? Cmon now u can’t be serious.... dude is a head case. I think the Jags will franchise A Rob... I like Eifert, Norwell, Breeland and Moncrief though. Eifert has a huge ceiling but needs to stay on the field, same for Moncrief... Norwall is a stud. Breeland is underrated imo
