    Lawson may actually be alright with it. Here he's probably going to get buried on the depth chart as the season progresses; in New Orleans, he would be starting for a team that has the best odds of winning their division. Not sure about the scheme; if we want an OL who we know is a scheme fit, that would be Yosh Nijman of the Packers. But Hurst is a better player; Nijman is more of a third tackle than a true starter.

    The most value Huff would fetch right now as far as draft pick value would probably be a 4th round pick ….. I would think his best value in a trade would be in exchange for a veteran OT or part of a trade for a higher end OL. But the Jets really like Huff in those pass rush situations so I imagine JD is first going to scour the waiver wire for veteran OL help cutdown day before proposing trades.

    You are right though - Huff is a pending FA and it’s probably going to be hard to resign him to such a loaded position. I wonder what tender he would fetch if he leaves as a FA.

    I agree that trading one of our Edges, or specifically Huff would only happen after JD had first scoured the waiver wire, and then only in desperation. I would be shocked if they traded Huff, although in one way he has more trade value than Lawson. I think they're both getting paid about the same amount this year. The problem with Huff is that he will be a FA, so any team that traded for him would have to sign him to a contract extension, and he might not be willing to do that. We might get more than a 4th round pick since he has a 2nd round tender, but that would have to be from a contending team that lost one of its Edge rushers, and would need to be an NFC team.

    I really hope that we don't trade Huff or Lawson. I love the idea of having great depth where we can always throw fresh pass rusher at opposing QBs.

    WMD is a lot easier to type...

    Now we need a nickname for the D-line.

    Okay, WMD works.

    Naming stuff like the Dline doesn't usually work out too well in recent years aside from Revis Island.... but did it work out?

    I thought that's what WMD is, an abbreviation for Weapons of Mass Destruction

    Correct.

    I think it fits better than Will the Thrill...

    While I agree that Weapon (singular) of Mass Destruction is better than Will the Thrill, I thought it was intended as plural for the WHOLE DL Weapons of Mass Destruction. I like it better as a name for the DL than just McDonald.

    I’m not too big on names but Revis Island was pretty appropriate.

    Nothing will ever top the Sack Exchange.

    I like that too...

    All I know is that a silhouette of Clemons clutching a barbed wire bat should be the logo...

    Yeah I agree with that. I liked the fact that Hackett had some easy throws, and some screens which I felt wasn’t apart of the gameplan a lot last season. Zach also seemed to love to throw the deep in near the seams to a WR too (the type concept escapes me at 5:30 am) but it was nice to see Zach take what the defense gives him then go over the top for his WR to make a play when on one on one situations.
