    But he only had 36 carries, and if you take out the one 75 yard carry he had, it was only 3.3 yds/carry.

    We can cut Bell now. It's the Ballage Era.

    Conditional pick

    This isnt a trade, as its conditional and we'll wait to the terms come out to throw petrol on the fire.

    With all the "injuries" knocking about, we took a flier on a guy who knows the system.

    Likleyhood is this is just protection for bell incase we need a rb3 to be on the roster.

    I picked him up in fantasy in 2018 and he flashed a game or two. Then he was supposed to be in fight for starting job in 2019 but all the press was he sucked etc. Not sure how he got such a bad rep suddenly.

    Its a conditional 7th round pick. Lets see that effective WR on the market for a conditional 7th round pick.

    He wont even make the roster unless we carry 4.

  11. We're up in arms b.c for yet another yr this team is content to be non competitive at multiple impactful positions DESPITE having a war chest of trade ammunition & significant cap Space. Instead, they choose to spend time & resources fixating on bottom of the roster re-treads who bringi nothing more but knowing Gase's system at positions that seem pretty well set.

    Widen THE scope just a tad....are you happy w. the trash this team is fielding at edge & WR? What about over the last 10 years? Whatever your answer is...the FO sure as hell seems content. And has for about 10 yrs spanning 4 stinking GMs!!!! The real issue on the team is 4th string RBs who had acouple big plays under the HC 3 seasons ago.

    People getting upset about this because he’s not a WR? It’s not like this move is somehow prohibitive of acquiring a receiver...

    I'm pretty sure if he doesn't make the roster we won't give up a pick.

    I don't really get it but whatever. Possible that we move Bell as Perine's been good and we have Gore/Ballage?

    Can't wait to hear the meltdowns if that scenario happened.

    You probably SHOULD meltdown if that happens but not even Adam Gase is that stupid...

    ...right?

    This would be the best thing to do if that scenario played out...

    Considering Joe Douglas controls the personnel decisions, I'm not really sure what Adam Gase's stupidity has to do with it.

    Bell is gone at the end of the year anyway. Not sure why getting a pick in return for him would be terrible if the runningback position stays shored up. I'd take a second rounder alllllll day for an EOY cut.

  18. What about the notion that Gase simply cant coexist w star players? Frankly how about the Jets entire organization?

    You trade Bell this team’s roster really is D level.You trade Bell & all us WR “Whiners” push things into overdrive. Herndon gonna compensate for the entire skill group being hot garbage?

    That’s all fine & dandy and I mean I am in agreement for the most part but for one thing JD should not pay for the sins of his predecessors. He has had one offseason and it’s been pretty widely seen as a solid start to this rebuild. He needs more than one offseason to build this team and if WR is not a priority next offseason I’ll be right there with you screaming.

    Another is this move in no way precludes JD from improving the WR position if the opportunity arises which is the main reason it amazes me hen Jets fans freak out over moves like this.

    This isn’t the time of the season where your building the core of the team, it’s a time to fiddle with the bottom of the roster and hope you catch lightning in a bottle.

    I’d be very surprised if the Jets don’t have at least one if not two WRs on the final 53 that are t on roster yet.
