yeah your wife is just like a professional athlete. and a broken and dislocated ankle is a much rarer and more difficult injury to recover from than a knee replacement at this point.
Yup, just saw... Interesting, I wonder who the Seahawks are going to trot out there. That makes them an unexpected player in the FA market. Damn...
Blatt, Dick Chimney and others called it as well. It does look Fields is the #1 target of the Jets. Which tells me Mooge and AG are on the right path. But ... we need to close the deal on Monday. After Justin the pickings are EXTREMELY slim.
Just saw this one floated as well. What does everyone think of Carson Wentz? Personally, this dude doesn't have the temperament to be in the NY market. Neither does Winston. Can you see Jameis Winston going "off book" and pulling some shit, like he did down in Tampa, in NY? The fans alone would eviscerate him. Besides, Winston throws too many picks for this fan base. We're still recovering from "Wilson Shell Shock." I still say Fields is the best of both worlds. Cheap and ascending (potentially). At the very least, if he puts his best foot forward and looks like he's improving he hasn't hit his peak yet and the Jets would have a starter for a decade. If not, he's cheap and we draft another next year. I guess, if the $$ were right, they could bring in BOTH Wentz and Fields. I just don't think Wentz is a good fit for the market.
Could it be in a bizarre turn of events that Fields comes to the Jets, R. Wilson returns to Seattle, Davante to the Rams and AR to the Steelers? That would be ok with me, but I still would push for a QB with the second pick if the right guy is available.
I personally wouldn't hate taking a cheaper contract flyer on Wentz (which should of happened in 2023, and which to this day i still ultimately blame on AR's ego with a GM level say in the matter) if it was done in a "bring 2 vets in and make them compete for the starting job" format. Such as Winston + Wentz. I can't say this enough about Fields. I think people are getting way too caught up in the surface concept appeal of the guy's age and untapped potential that still might be there because of that, and as such are glossing over the probability reality that he won't end up being a good system fit for our new and very green OC. Generally speaking I think people should be reigning in the expectations they have with a new OC that basically got the job for being buddies with the new head coach and breathing the same air as another guy who was simply out of our hiring league. Somebody Detroit also willingly let walk out of that building instead of handing him over the successor job with Ben leaving, and which to me seems unlikely Engstrand turns down just to take the same career job *here*. All in all I'm more comfortable with the concept idea of rolling out with the more seasoned vets and handing Engstand less of a "puzzle" that needs to be solved. We can talk more about puzzle solving and reaching at higher ceiling outcomes a year from now and in the event he's not on the firing block.

Actually, it looks like they have no plans to keep him. Darnold may go to the Seahawks now that they traded Geno.
Is this news? I believe the same could be (or at least should be) said of a dozen or more quarterbacks. It would be more newsworthy of she reported that the Jets were not discussing him.
The Stealers did bench the guy after he went 4-2, and the same HC that did that is still the coach. There should be every motivation to go elsewhere. We have to get this across the line on Monday. At this point it would be a huge disappointment if he is not a Jet.
More seasoned probably means Mariota, Wentz, maybe Winston. These guys are worse than Tyrod. That means we might draft a QB early too. Or a tank year. I was hoping to actually upgrade QB position to try to make play-offs, and Fields would be an upgrade, who could give some hope.
