A lot of bold statements here without really not knowing what the hell was discussed, current positions by both parties nor where the disconnect is. For all we know there is an agreement in principle to be executed after a certain date, or JD plans to stay firm till after the draft.
Let's see how it works out. I have seen this tactic before. Basically sending a message that we will only negotiate in good faith, waiting a little, then negotiating, so that everyone feels they are dead serious, since they don't negotiate in bad faith. There is also a sensitive situation with Arod if they start talking to Lamar now. I think at this point we just have to see how it works out before judging this.
Or simply the Jets have no interest in LJ or as a back up position only if no agreement is reached by a predetermined date.,
JD also stated we are in no hurry and no meetings have been scheduled with GB, but some believe we lost leverage because he stated he wants to continue with the planned negotiations in good faith. Really now? I think exactly the opposite. Quote. “March towards the draft with all options is the plan, we can adjust if needed” Simply perfect.
It's fan perspective. People don't consider what they don't know. For JD to be that confident, already tells me he believes In the talks and direction things have gone thus far. It seems he has a strong pulse on the overall situation. It doesn't sound like a big deal to me.
This would be a very bad scenario. Lamar, Josh Allen, tua(was playing well before the concussions drama. If can stay healthy top 10 qb) for years to come.
It’s because the money is a HUGE difference…giving up all those draft assets for the number one pick is an expensive trade, but the contract for the player will be a relatively cheap 4 year plus 5th year option for the player. On the other hand, giving up all those draft assets PLUS giving a HUGE guaranteed contract for a player is a double whammy that clearly no team is interested in doing
But Jackson will cost WAY more in terms of draft compensation. By rule, the Ravens are entitled to 2 first round picks if a team signs Jackson. So while Baltimore may be free to negotiate a trade that is less than that (though I’m not sure if they can because until he signs the tender, he’s not technically under contract to them…though I’m sure those kinds of technicalities can be worked out)…Baltimore’s starting price will be two first round picks. We are not going to give up anything near that for Rodgers, so yes Rodgers will cost a lot of money (still not as much as Jackson if he really is holding out for such a large deal), but Rodgers will not cost anything near the cost in draft picks that Baltimore would demand for Jackson. My opinion…
I don’t know…from my standpoint, I’ve seen JD get over on more trades than not…I think the man knows what the fuck he’s doing when it comes to trade negotiations…
Well I think even more so than the player themselves not understanding their own value, it has to do with organizations not wanting to be entangled with the same player the coaching staff is going to have to coach up. And not knowing the volatility as to whether or not the player is going to leak anything about said negotiations. I don’t think his stance is crazy because he’s just basing it off of Watson. If he met teams down by Kyler Murray/Russell Wilson’s contracts, then it seems as though he’s starting high purposely knowing that’s where he’ll ultimately end up.
Interesting strategy…. Piss off everyone and risk losing all options. I thought you were a bad armchair lawyer but this takes the cake.
So, you're quite happy with the Jets broadcasting to the NFL world that they have no options other than the man in the dark? That's wonderful for you, but it sucks for the team. Give us a single good reason why the Jets should not be exploring every viable option that may put a decent quarterback in green and white in the coming season. Who would the team be pissing off that would let pride get in the way of good business decisions? I'll let the totally unnecessary and pointless personal shit go by - considering the source makes it easy.
Broadcasting it is nothing, especially when everyone knows you always have options. Is it the one you want or as good maybe not. Stafford is out there if needed and other vets, Lamar wants a trade everyone knows there are options other GMs aren’t dumb. Saying what he did doesn’t change anything but make GB want to deal with us in good faith for now and Vice Versa. Because both sides know they need ea other. Arod wants NY and we want Arod anyone with two eyes can see that
Yes, the source of your post made it very easy to look down on. You also seem to be under the impression that you are privy of everything there is to know about what the FO is doing. Lol. Silly goose.
I'm the last one to believe I know what any of the parties in this little drama have going on and my posts in this regard have made that very clear to anyone with a modicum of reading comprehension. Nobody here at TGG knows what's going on more than anyone else. My comments regarding recent statements made by Saleh and Douglas that there would be no discussion with starting quarterbacks other than Rogers stand for themselves as any such inaction would represent terrible business practices when now more than ever keeping as many options active and open as possible is imperative. What successful business do you know that limits its sources unnecessarily?
But my point is they would not have to give up that many draft assets for Jackson. There is NO WAY Baltimore will get two 1s and two 2s for Jackson. Not a chance!
It's not surprising to me that the Jets, only a month ago in the position to have their pick of the crop of experienced quarterbacks in different stages of availability, are now being relegated by some to the likes of Matthew Stafford as the quarterback to lead them out of the bottom of the NFL. You state the Jets have options other than Rodgers but they are now down to third tier options. Until a deal is agreed to by all parties to secure Rodgers there is no good reason for the Jets to not explore all options for backup plans by reaching out to those they may need in the not too distant future.
