The Athletic's Mike Sando has reported that an NFL executive told him that the Jets "were in on a ton of guys and got nobody," which certainly lines up with what happened regarding wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The Pro Bowler chose to be traded to the Miami Dolphins instead of the Jets a few weeks ago.

 

"They don’t have a selling point to players right now. People don’t know what to think of Zach Wilson, players don’t necessarily covet playing in that market, and guys who have choices tend to wind up elsewhere."


Sounds like they’ve gone after pretty much all the top guys but got rejected by everyone. 

i guess reportedly woody Johnson is starting to get impatient.

They said his brother Chris had a lot more patience but now that Woody’s back he’s already losing his patience with the slow rebuild.

i think they are trying to go about doing things the right way though. stocking up on draft picks and trying to build a culture. like the bills back in the bad days, FAs are turning them down, but i dont think their GM and HC were bad hires at all.

 

i respect their staff more than i do miamis and new englands personally. its just tough for them to get FAs because they are still early in their process and have not established the credibility like JA17, McD, and Beane.

 

I wouldnt be surprised if in 2-4 years though that they overtake the cheats and fish in the division. zach is better than their other QBs, and they have the draft capital and cap space to make things happen.

Couldn't you argue this is a good thing somehow, in terms of finding more value players? Teams are still going to only be able to pay x% to the position group. It doesn't reset the market as much as move the money to the top guys, which means more prove it one/two year deals for the rest.

 

Is that the right type of thinking, or somewhere along the lines of losing to an NFC team boosts your playoff chances?

He reset the CB market. 

Jaylen Ramsey already did that.  Ward is easily a top 10 CB so he’s worth the contract he just got.  The guarantees reported are almost certainly money included in “total guarantees” not money that is “guaranteed at signing”. Agents often report their clients’ contract guarantees that way as a marketing tool.

Basically Jalen Ramsey said the same thing on The Pivot Podcast. He said Jackson should’ve gotten more than him.

$31M less guaranteed than Ward. 

 

Less per year than other guys like White who signed years ago. 

 

Horrendous deal for the top CB on the open market.

Build a culture?  Have you seen their QB?

I wish the Browns would just stick to screwing up the Browns. That seem like a full time job for them.

Agree with all of this. Miami has done like a half rebuild then went full Rex Ryan with all these splash moves and weird contracts. They could be in cap hell at some point soon and they don’t even have a QB. Similar to the Bills of old

 

NE will be in QB purgatory with McCorkle. He’s better than we Give him credit for, but he’s close to Dalton than Brady

 

if they hit in Wilson (big of right now) they will have a decent shot

Overpay. He is good. He isn't a top 6 or 7 corner though. More like in that 8-15 range. 

I'm curious, where would you place Tre? Before his injury ofc since we have yet to see him play after the injury occurred.

He is such a great story. Never left Ohio. Drafted 4th overall and lived up to it in his hometown, which is a ton of pressure. He’s a really good kid and deserves the bag, as we know its a premium position and he’s the latest to be paid so he’s going to the top of the pile, doesn’t matter whether he’s the best in the league or not.
