Pretty much all the free agent OTs still around. A few starting-caliber guards and few centers too. Still early!
He had no intention of keeping him. Mute point. Will see how he does on another team. We are fine defensively with or without him, we need all ammunition on The O.
Everything is a moot point with JD. Doing a pick swap, losing Broderick Jones, losing Huff. Btw, Ezra Cleveland, another moot point for JD, a solid G who was available for a 6th round pick around trade deadline last year, was just resigned by the Jags for 3 year 24 mil, 14.5 guaranteed: https://jaguarswire.usatoday.com/2024/03/08/ezra-cleveland-jaguars-salary-cap-contract/ This could and should have been us, and a lot of us were begging for this at the time. This is a significant upgrade over Laken for half the price. But yeah, a moot point indeed.
Not true. People wanted a pass rusher desperately at that time. Everyone was ecstatic to get JJ. I think we can all agree 2022 draft was universally praised. 2023 - not so much.
You can just smell it in the air. The Vikings would have overpaid us handsomely for Rodgers, if we would have been rebuilding instead of running it all back.
We keep revisiting the past, which is all good and well, but it does not help the now one iota. There was no way Huff was in the cards after the moves made last year and the horrific results. So now he has to produce much better results will a lot less capital.
IMO both the Barkley and more so the Cousin deals are a major stretch and overly expensive. I’m not going to go out and applauded either of them.
I thought Barkley’s deal was pretty friendly. There’s no long term commitment that would cripple the cap and if it’s structured correctly, it’s probably really only a two year deal ($26 million guaranteed). We weren’t in the market for a running back so I wouldn’t have paid that if I’m the Jets but the Giants are dopes for how they handled Jones & Barkley. Saquon was a much bigger part of their 2022 playoff berth IMO than Daniel Jones was.
I don’t think so. Their management usually makes pretty realistic sound decisions. I get that they did it with Favre but it’s even more the reason that a franchise like them wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. They have a really good infrastructure to draft a young QB and toss them in there with a cast that’ll take pressure off them.
Nah. Outside the hype train bs the writing was already on the wall with Rodgers' best days being clearly behind him. Nobody else was touching him or his baggage with that contract last year. His body giving out on him 4 plays into last season didn't change that. Now watching Russ sign for $1.2m today. That is the regretful smell in the air atm/imo. Russ had a better overall game manager season last year then Rodgers had in 2022. I mean Woody doing Woody things and fawning all over him and his ego better then Pittsburgh did probably gets that done. No super expensive contract. No Hackett. No turning our best HC since Rex into a neutered simp after literally making the QB his boss. No having to budget in extra precious cap spending for a guy's friends since Russ doesn't have any. In that different reality playthrough this team is so much better off overall.
Because their owner/chairman, WIlf, over values big name QBs. Especially ones that were in their division. Now they are in a pickle without a QB. It would have been an easy sale if we started negotiations after the SB.
I'd rather sign Tyler Boyd. He's not an outside WR, but his hands are solid, which imo is what we need. We don't need Davis back dropping passes. Boyd is said to probably get a contract for $8.5 million that's a lot better than $13 or $14 million.
Barkley's going to kill it with a real OL in Philly next season. Happy for him to get his shot. He paid his dues. Minshew off the board. 2 years, $25M. Too rich for the Jets but damn I would've loved to have that guy. All heart and clutch. Greg the leg was actually a good re-sign for us. He's solid with great range. Will the Jets sign any OL, WR or backup QB? Let's see.
Minshew signed for $12.5mil/yr. The tricky thing for the Jets will be the high end backups looking for starting opportunities and Minshew could get it in Vegas but here only with injury. Would love if they could get Brissett but I honestly doubt it.
Nah they really dont. When WIlf got there in 2006, they seriously over drafted Tarvaris Jackson, a 6th round projection, in the second round. Following Farve, they gave up two picks for McNabb in 2011. Then traded a 1st in 2016 for Sam Bradford. Then a record contract to Cousins. Wilf goes after QB bait, and Rodgers in Minn would make perfect sense to him.
