I’m sure he sees that McCown starting might not last the year so he’ll have his best opportunity to start, not only this year but going forward.

 

I really hate when a player I like a lot signs with a team I hate so much. I need Seferian-Jenkins to move on now..

That’s after you see the video of me running naked down my street after the Bills take Darnold/Mayfield.

 

I'm bigger than you.

For all I know, he might still need to do more rehab work and this is the best financial deal on the table right now.

 

I just want the kid to be healthy and happy. I love him so much.

Yeah, just wish he was healthy and happy on another team. Don’t want to see him twice a year in the GROSS TO THE MAXXX Jets uniforms.

Yeah, but you’re girlier. And Asianer.

I'm not commenting on any NFL attire, not after the 'Oh, I quite like those new Bucs shirts' debacle.

Did I forget that you said those words?

Yeah for sure, they could just dump Hack or Petty or both. But I was just saying that they do have 4 QBs now, 2 of which the current GM drafted to develop and we have no idea how much he likes them.

 

I doubt any any of the 4 QBs on their roster make them pass up a QB at 6 if the guy they like is there. But maybe with the Bridgewater signing it will be enough to keep them from going hard after a trade-up? (I hope...). 

 

I don't really know what the Jets are doing, to be honest. lol 

  Neither do I and it is possible at least one of the big names could be dealt in a draft day deal to somebody who got caught napping.  Who knows?

The ridicule was so overwhelming, I wish I had forgotten saying it.

I thought I had a list. 

 

You didn’t like the Jags unis did you? (They’re changing this year...no more two tone helmet either).

Guarantees the jets won't trade up for a QB with also signing McCown for 10 mIllion.

 

It's all coming together boys, OUR FRANCHISE QB IS COMING!!!

 

 

 

 

I agree.  Makes no sense for Bridgewater to go there in addition to McCown if the Jets were serious about trading up.  Same with Arizona.  Bills must have a deal in place to trade ahead of Jets if Jets are making these moves on 2nd day of free agency.  The fact that Bills don't have a deal for a free agent QB yet is also very telling.

Yep, but i do think we will sign a veteran QB, I'm thinking Derek Anderson.

Kirk Cousins is making $28 million per year. The Jets are paying $25 million for Bridgewater and McCown.

 

 

Two is better than one?  :unsure:

How do you justify signing two free agents (granted, neither of them in high demand) and then drafting a top ten QB after your 2nd rounder never saw the field?  

What are they doing? 

 

I neither know nor care

The Jets ARE NOT drafting a QB.  Makes no sense.

 

They have McCown and Bridgewater already.  First off, to trade the house for 3 when you know atleast one possibly 2 QBs will be gone?

 

Lets say they get Rosen.  First year he is going to learn.  McCown was signed to be the bridge QB.  If he fails, they are going to have to see what they have in Bridgewater (they only have one year to do it). If he falls of the wagon, THEN you use Rosen.  So your going to trade all of that draft capital to move up for a player that probably won't see the field on a do or die year for HC and GM?

 

Bridgewater is their possible future QB.  He is the guy who, if McCown falls on his face, comes in to see if he is the real deal.  He is only 25, and is years ahead experience wise over Rosen, Allen, or Mayfield.

 

For me, the Jets are comfy at 3 cuz they know the first two picks will 99% be QB's.  They then have Barkley fall in their lap.  Their future includes Barkley, and maybe Bridgewater.

The most certainly are as both McCown and Bridgewater are on one year deals.

I can't believe how much they are paying McCown & Teddy and now they moved for a QB - terrible cap management...awful waste of resources...

TBW has a just a $500K guarantee. They could easily walk away from him at anytime.

But why sign Bridgewater then?  You have McCown , Petty and Hackenburg.  If you draft a QB at 3 then you have to plan at some point you want him to see the field the first year.  

I believe they see Bridgewater as a guy that may be their QB of the future.  He is only signed for a 1 year deal in case it doesn't work out.  They can then get into the QB sweepstakes next year or trade for a veteran.  

 

There are non-QB players in this draft that some are saying are the best talent available.  If you can get your top guy on the board at 3?  That's a steal.

Bridgewater will compete in camp but if the Jet's want to get rid of him (for any reason) it costs nothing to move on.

It was a great signing for the Jet's.  This has nothing to do about the Jet's and drafting a QB.

You Are Correct Sir! Look at their RB's, not for too long.. yuck. A franchise QB can change a team for sure. A workhorse RB with Barkleys pedigree can do the same but quicker. Not as big of a learning curve for the RB.  I assure you, Teddy and McCown can manage handing the ball to this dude. Why waste 15$ mil on a mentor QB coming off a career season and a young promising QB who was cut down by injury during development, if they're going to be clip holders for the future?

I don't buy it. Can't piss off the roof and tell me it's raining. Plain as day to see that securing 3rd pick can potentially screw us and they get the next AP. Win/Win for the Jets.

 

What they don't realize is pending how things shake out, our guy may be there at 12. Who knows?

Seems to me we want Lamar Jackson and at 12 IMO, that's good value.

I'm on the side of it being a smart investment. We've seen the trade market for a QB when a starter goes down with Bradford. With minimal commitment, you've got either a capable backup/bridge guy or someone with starting experience that might tempt a team if they lose their guy over the preseason.

Petty and hack are done.  McCown is 39 years old and TBW is there on a nothing contract.  They don't know who they'll be drafting in the #3 slot, but why not take a flyer on TBW while both he and the rookie learn from McCown.

You really think Hack is done? He was drafted pretty high, you'd think they would roll him out a few more times. Of course, it's the Jets, but still.

We'lll agree to disagree.

 

I see the Jets trading to 3 cuz they know they have other non-QB players that can be franchise altering available cuz everyone is stuck on finding their next franchise QB.

 

I also believe they see Bridgewater as their possible long term solution at only 25.  They just want to make sure his knee checks out. That's not to mention what they may see in Petty or Hack.   I think it's a really smart play for the Jets, and It also forces the Bills to move up to 1 or 2 for their QB, which ensures them even more that they will get a non-QB talent at 3.
