Albany,n.y.

They're planning on having a rookie QB next year & beyond that who will need someone to throw the ball to.

I'm going with a friend I used to work with in Long Island who moved to South Carolina 2 years ago. Sec 525 Row 9 I just downloaded my boarding pass for tomorrow's flight.

But their current teams can't withstand the cap hit caused by trading them away. Both contracts were structured with the early cap years being low, but the penalty for trading or releasing the player severe. Miami has a bigger problem than Waddle. They're stuck with Tua through next season with dead cap hits this year & next in the $100 million range. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/47598/tua-tagovailoa

The best scene in the new Naked Gun movie is the one where the sons of the original cops in the old movie are looking at their fathers' photos on the wall saying they miss them and crying, then they get to the OJ photo: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1450662632591588

Not when your dead cap hit is $40 million.

I've always wondered why the NBA allows LeBron to do commercials for DraftKings gambling site. At least the NFL wouldn't allow an active player to do gambling ads.

I also believe Parcells is the best coach of the post-merger NFL. Most of the top coaches did it with one team. Parcells turned around every team he coached. He even turned around the Dolphins while in the front office.

It's the same everywhere. I often listen to WFAN from NY & the NYC fans think the local teams should have every superstar either signing as a free agent or getting traded to a NYC team.

That reason isn't because they're in the same division. The reason neither can be traded is because the cap hit to the team trading them would destroy each teams ability to field a competitive roster (not like either team has one now😄). https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/76858/garrett-wilson https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/72385/jaylen-waddle

I never said they're doing the rebuild right, just that they knew they had a long leash and could try with a young veteran over an old one & if he failed, they could plan on drafting their next QB. I called them idiots in a prior post because they tied themselves to Fields for 2 years due to the contract structure & cap hits. They should have been able to get Fields on a 1-year deal with incentives-I doubt there was a lot of competition to be his 3rd team in 3 years after his market value when he was traded to Pittsburgh was a 6th round pick. Personally, I hope they mess it up again & draft another Zach Wilson, but until a team has their guy right at QB, they're always in a rebuild to some extent. Guys on the 1st year of a team that won 5 games the season before they arrived don't want a guy on his last legs, delaying the inevitable. For the Jets to acquire 37-year-old Cousins at 0-7 with his contract, would be a fireable offense even worse than the fact that Field will count at least $22 million on the cap next year.

Aside from the fact that Richardson is on injured reserve right now and can't come back for 4 weeks, he's worse than Fields. https://horseshoeheroes.com/latest-indianapolis-colts-trade-speculation-took-hilarious-terrible-new-turn backup Anthony Richardson is on injured reserve and cannot return until Week 12 at the earliest. He suffered an orbital fracture in a freak accident in pregame warmups ahead of Week 6.

New GM and coach in their 1st year want a long term QB, not someone from prior management. When a new management team comes in, you can't look at any prior years as any evidence of what their plan is.. They want their own young guy as their QB, not some guy in his 30s. There have to be better options in the draft than Cousins, especially when you consider the salary cap. Cousins is 37 years old, if they wanted to wheel out an old guy, they would have kept Rodgers.

It would take the NFL to end the salary cap because he just signed an extension which makes him virtually impossible to trade. Stop dreaming impossible dreams.

The Jets are idiots. I just looked up his contract. He has $10 million guaranteed for next year along with 4 more years of his prorated $15 million signing bonus, which means if they cut him his dead cap hit is $22 million next year. If they keep him his base salary of $20 million plus his prorated signing bonus cap hit of $3 million has a cap hit of $23 million. So it's a huge cap hit either way with only a $1 million difference between keeping or cutting. Even if they renegotiate his full salary down to the $10 million guarantee, they'd still have a cap hit of $13 million for a useless player occupying a roster spot. If they renegotiate it down to that figure, the best thing for them to do is IR him (get Jimmy Spags to break his leg?) and free up the roster spot. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/72391/justin-fields

No rebuilding team wants Kirk Cousins. The whole reason the Jets dumped Rodgers was they wanted a young QB. They figured they'd give Fields a shot & if he bombed they would draft high enough to get their next QB. https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1765507724126487 Life of a young Jets fan.

If Pete Carroll can be a head coach at 74, Rusty Jones needs to come out of retirement at 72 & come back to Buffalo.

They won a meaningless game late in the season that cost them Trevor Lawrence & the settled for Zach Wilson at #2 in a bad QB draft year. SF traded up for Trey Lance at #3 right after the Jets & at #11 the Bears traded up for Justin Fields.

If they play Tyrod, they might win some games that will cost them the top pick. The last time the Jets won a meaningless game they drafted #2 & picked Zach Wilson, who Miami just demoted to 3rd string. If the Jets want a decent future, tank the season elevate Brady Cook from the practice squad & play the undrafted rookie.

Justin Fields was a 1st round pick from Ohio State & he is the worst starting QB in the NFL (if he's still considered a starter after Sunday's benching at halftime). College teams are loaded with future accountants & bartenders. The few NFL caliber players on a college team are playing against those future accountants & bartenders. That's why there are 1st round busts because you never know how a player will perform with & against teams with all NFL caliber players. They're too old to play in the NFL today.

Justin Fields couldn't hit the side of a barn if he was 1" away.

The Dolphins have demoted former Jets bust Zach Wilson to 3rd string: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/dolphins-promote-quinn-ewers-to-backup-qb-behind-tua-tagovailoa-vs-browns/ar-AA1OLwEd?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=68f50c9390924cdf81ba51ae56105206&ei=10

I went to a Bisons game there in the early 1980s, so I did eventually go to the stadium before they tore it down. My regret was not seeing a Bills game there

I regret never going to the Rockpile. I arrived in WNY in 1971 & I had heard so many stories how bad things were in the neighborhood I was afraid to bring my car there. Ironically, in 1978 I was working on the Erie County Re-val & worked in that neighborhood, going into many of the homes. When we were there, we met at the Masten Street Armory in the mornings-across the street from the Rockpile. The game that I regret going to the most isn't a Bills game. I was living in Long Island in 1985 & could have driven to NJ to watch the USFL Championship game that turned out to be the last USFL game ever played. It was a rainy day, so I didn't go.

Carolina: Hold my beer. They had the leading MVP candidate Baker Mayfield and Seattle's starting QB Sam Darnold on the same team & let both get away, just like Browns & Jets did with one of those guys. Those 3 teams are where QBs go to be comatose, leave & suddenly wake up & thrive. Even when the Bills were bad, they didn't have good QBs come in, dump them & then watch these guys thrive elsewhere. When we dumped a QB, he never came back to haunt us, he was bad wherever he went. These 3 teams get the right guys & stymie them until they leave. The Jets have a horrible history with both young guys & vets. It goes back to Favre who sucked as a Jet & went on to Minnesota where he was great again, Geno who was nothing until Seattle, Darnold who is finally the QB that was envisioned in the 2018 draft, and even this year, dumping Rodgers, who is playing good in Pittsburgh and signing the incredibly bad Justin Fields.
