    JD has shown he wants high character. JUJU ain’t coming here.

    doubt they also treat crowder that way just to sign say Samuel? A lot will depend on if they plan to keep Sam and keep crowder, a familiar target, for him.

    I know that he's a good player, he just has had a lot of injuries. Poole has too over the last two years, but Guidry looked good last year. I was hoping they'd re-sign Poole for a year, and then if he was injured and missed games this year, it would give Guidry more time to develop, then he could take over as the slot CB in 2022.

    Cutting a hard nosed player like Crowder who has played through the bullshit the past two years to replace him with a free agent is counterproductive.

    Let's not get crazy here.

    Crowder's stats are heavily inflated because of Gase's ridiculous scheme where only slot receivers exist.

    EDIT: I will add, I love Crowder and think he's a solid football player but JuJu has way more upside and is more talented imo.

    Perhaps, but he's still a very good WR, great player in the lockerroom and not an assclown like JuJu. I want no part of JuJu ever.

    Juju certainly better fits the profile of player you'd build with.

    Some of you guys underrate Crowder...he’s one of the better slot WRs in the game and will be just fine in this type of offense.

    JuJu is a good player but I wouldn’t say he’s 100% an upgrade for what they do. This isn’t Madden either...I can’t see something like that happening

    $11M+ is a lot for a slot receiver.

    I think Saleh is the perfect coach for a guy like Juju.

    I am 100% sold on going after him

    For a team with plenty of space to afford it. He's also on the last year of his deal and the proposal was to just sign a replacement.

    I imagine they draft his replacement for next year anyways.

    I was just frustrated and worried when Douglas hadn't signed anyone of note yet. I needed to work in my yard today, and was never even tempted to come in and check to see whom JD had signed. I trusted that he would have signed 2-3 topnotch FAs by the time I came in and checked Twitter and here. I came in, saw nothing on Twitter, and then saw that the only signing was Jarrad Davis, and I had never even heard of him. IMO that was good reason for concern and frustration. Now that he has added Davis and Lawson, I feel better. I still trust him, but think he moves too slowly, and he needs to move with a greater sense of urgency. I want to see the OL fixed and this team start winning. I'm done with the losing. I have zero tolerance for a slow, 5-year rebuild. Other teams build in a sustainable fashion and do it quickly, and I expect JD to do too, or he can kiss my ass. LOL

    No disrespect to all the passionate fans here but if we relax a little we might find out that our Jets leadership seems to be navigating free agency well without our help. Not a bad first day, more to come. Hopefully an OL, another pass rusher, a CB and we can start to breath easy.

    Don't forget we need another TE and could use depth at WR or a playmaker like Kadarius Toney. It would also be nice to add a RB like Harris, Etienne or J. Williams rather than waiting until the 4th or 5th round and taking K. Gainwell or J. Patterson.

    Not landing an IOL is concerning but we should all be thrilled with the Davis and Lawson deals.

    Keep in mind 23 and 34 are great spots to grab a guard.

    None taken. I just lost it when I came in from working hard in the yard, and saw that only Jarrad Davis had been signed, and it didn't even look like anyone else was close to signing, and the Pats and other teams were signing players left and right.

    I like Samuel, but would be surprised if JD signed two WRs, and I think it would send the wrong message to the team. You can come in, play at a very high level, be a great citizen and teammate, and the team doesn't appreciates you, just dumps you after a couple of years and moves on. If the team expects players to have some loyalty, they're going to have to show some loyalty; otherwise, it's just going to be a mercenary mess.
