I think it’s fine. He’s a good player. Probably an over pay but that’s what happens in today’s world. There is a lot of wiggle room for a franchise like this, not having to pay for a QB. Makes sense for them to retain good young talent. The combination of Hall, Garrett Wilson, Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper could be a legit arsenal if they get someone competent to run the offense. Oh btw they have 3 first round picks next year, so ple rh of assets left to spend. PS I think ppl just want to assume it’s terrible because it’s the jets. Rightly so - they’ve earned that. But I don’t think it’s an awful move for a team trying to find their footing

Leave our boy alone

Im wondering if players have grown to believe “what’s the rush?” Rosters are, for the most part, filled out. And the vets know the drill. I could imagine some of them prefer to stay home, workout on their own, skip the offseason programs, see how any late spring summer injuries shake out, and then link up with a team as we get closer to TC.

I mention they’ve obviously been giving input and helping build the board. I don’t think it’s strange at all. Considering the picks we started with are not the way we ended, and you have no idea what positions you’ve invested in, or players that are still there. He also said it was a focus on the 1 player per round IIRC that they had the most conviction for. So it wasn’t like a full assessment, just their strongest option on a player who is left. Seems like a very wise strategy to check in with the scouts and hear from the people who crunched the film, met with prospects and have tracked these guys for months if not years.

Yes I believe this is a sub package they’ll use under certain circumstances. To my knowledge, it is called a Penny personnel and will present as a 5-1-5. Old article and a paywall but about a Fangio style of 5-1 https://www.matchquarters.com/p/the-eat-front-within-the-penny-package This older imagine shows another Fangio penny diagram but seems to be displaying a lot of split field coverage. My understanding is that JL prefers to present this shell and then play a lot of single high middle of the field closed coverages https://x.com/TheHonestNFL/status/1579261776029368320/photo/3 The idea that they’ll be using 5 DBs seems to align with what we’ve seen from them in FA (CjGJ, Stone, Alford) along with the incumbants (Bishop, Hairston, Benford) and #66 overall pick Davison IGB and of course, Kilgore.

Beane said he’d primarily start working at safety. Personally I could see his year 1 role similar to how we used Poyer on 3rd and longs in previous years.

Absolutely. The need for a true Nose has been significantly blown out of proportion. My understanding is that there will still be a fair amount of nickle (which I believe they call Peso) and the less familiar Penny front. All of which, seem to require penetrating, attacking DL. IMO a player like Phidarian Mathis has a legit shot at this roster as more of a true 0. Plenty of other guys (Logue, Carter) can also play in this spot too but I believe based on how they’re going to philosophically change their approach to the front 7, size is not as big of a deal as ppl think.

Fair and I tend to agree. Joe Marino suggested that he would be a situational player year 1, allowing him to be spelled in certain situations while also being a key special teams player.

I don’t see a path on the roster for one unless it’s a designated spot on the 53. IMO we really only need to bring in a vet LB and everything else is pretty filled out, for better or for worse

Seems a bit flat footed for a LB in what’s supposed to be a down hill attacking scheme. Fills a need and is a great athletic profile. Hope he can get out into a spot that gives him clean reads and lets him play down hill

Jackson Ackler has a legit shot at the roster as a FB and special teamer IMO

So with 213 and 220 remaining - I could see them start to look at a FB, Punter or possibly more depth at LB

The room is clogged. Someone who was a recent pick is on the outs.

Beane frantically making calls to trade back

I know ppl would disagree but I think there is a case to be made for another, more twitchy OLB here. Who? Idk.
