The Jets will likely cut Corey Davis and Braxton Berrios but, they'll need to fill those positions for next season. Can they rely on Mims or do they go after a proven star like Deandre Hopkins? A tandem of Garrett Wilson and Deandre Hopkins would be among the top in the NFL wide receiver ranks and probably be even more enticing to potential quarterbacks the Jets plan to sign. Douglas has yet to make the huge splashy signings is this the year he goes for the gold with everything on the line?
I don't see Braxton getting cut. Corey Davis maybe. In any event I'd be all for this assuming we get a viable QB.
I like the idea of having two great receivers. It would give the offense they haven't had since I don't know when. But they really have to decide what they're doing at QB and how much that will cost them. They can't afford to caught without enough money to pay whoever they target as QB. Of course they could just stand pat there - calm down!, no chance in hell that's happening. The thing is this would involve a trade which could be done any time, meaning before FA, so you don't know who you could get at QB and how much it will cost, with the possible exception of Carr who could be available sooner. Finally, since I don't watch other teams IDK what the story is with Hopkins. Why are they looking to trade him if he's so good? This smells a little like another "trap" the SOJ have fallen into in the past. As much as I want them to upgrade the weapons, I don't want them to mortgage the future or buy another lemon.
Thanks. Well I'm not saying he's right or smart, but Bidwell certainly isn't being passive about the Cards losing record over the past few years, and we've got a longer losing record. Just might give Woody ideas.
Nah. Money aside, Hopkins will be 31 at the start of next season. He was never particularly fast to begin with but he’s standing on the receiver cliff. Usually receivers have one down year and then they’re absolutely shot after that. Very similar career trajectory to AJ Green so it’s not like he can’t still be productive but it’s not worth what we’ll give up for the short term boost. Not to mention he just got banned for using PEDs.
Spot on, you can probably get another really good year out of him, but he hasn't really been all that great last two years. PED usage is not a great sign either. It's a lot of risk, and the guy wants to renegotiate a two year deal, currently worth 17.5 mil per to presumably increase it. It was a good deal 3 years ago when Cardinals traded for him. At 31 next season, using PED, and wanting to get paid multi year deal North of 17.5 per I would steer clear. Particularly since we will need to spend for QBs and have a lot of our own free agents to resign and need to pay for the OLine. I would just keep Corey Davis for 10.5 mil and waive Berrios and let Moore return punts. Davis was a great blocker and dropped only two balls this year. With better QB play he will do much better next year, and god knows we need to block well next season. Plus he will only be 28 next year.
