The unofficial start of the fall? Sept. 5, 2013, when the Denver Broncos host the reigning Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. With the first game exactly 100 days away, there's still plenty of time for notable developments to occur. What's one thing you expect to go down before the 2013 season officially kicks off? Gregg Rosenthal NFL.com Geno Smith will earn Jets' starting job, sending Mark Sanchez to the bench I expect Geno Smith to be named the starting quarterback of the New York Jets. His skill set is superior to that of Mark Sanchez. And at this point, Sanchez's experience seems to be a negative, rather than a positive; he just has too many bad habits and memories to get rid of. Cutting Sanchez seemingly would make this a simpler process, but nothing in New York is simple. So I expect Sanchez to go into the season as an $8 million backup. Charley Casserly NFL.com Matt Ryan's on the verge of getting PAID by the Falcons Every year brings a few more player suspensions, and this year won't be any different. I'm also expecting a couple of players to sustain critical injuries in the preseason. There is no way to predict these things; teams just have to adjust to them. Additionally, I expect to see the signing of one more big quarterback contract. With extensions already done for Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers, logic says that Matt Ryan -- who is entering the last year of his contract -- will be next. The time is now for both sides to finish the deal, but there is more pressure on the Atlanta Falcons to get it done. Even if Ryan were to get hurt, Atlanta would have to franchise him at the very least, if not continue efforts to lock him up with a long-term deal. Adam Rank NFL.com Peyton Manning will be prematurely crowned -- again The media will once again give Peyton Manning the Lombardi Trophy before the season starts. It's as much of a fall tradition as the changing of the leaves and the rolling out of another bad NBC sitcom. And yet, every year it seems like Peyton's season ends pretty much the same way "Animal Practice" ended on NBC. Well, perhaps 14 seasons isn't enough of a sample size to truly gauge Peyton's playoff savvy. The excuse-makers always bring up his weapons and constantly stress that this is a team game, but the excuses are out the window this year. With Wes Welker in the mix, it's time for Manning to put a stamp on his career. Jason Smith NFL.com Jets will stir up the tabloids with three notable moves Continuing their trend of at least winning the headline war, the Jets will make three big moves over the next couple of months. First, they'll sign Brandon Lloyd. With a receiving corps that is overrun with injuries and question marks, they have nowhere to turn for help, as they didn't draft any up-and-comers. The longer they go without seeing Santonio Holmes and Stephen Hill in practice, the more they'll panic. Eventually, they'll decide to sign someone who's a) familiar with the New England Patriots and would come in as no worse than their second-best wideout. Second, if the Jets get an inkling the legal process isn't going to go their way with Mike Goodson, they'll release him and sign Ahmad Bradshaw. While Bradshaw doesn't have the West Coast offense skills OC Marty Mornhinweg was hoping to get out of Goodson, the veteran back provides a safety net if something doesn't go right with Chris Ivory. There aren't many landing spots where Bradshaw can count on playing time, so he'll come cheap. Finally, all of this will look like a warm-up act when the Jets waive Mark Sanchez. We spent a lot of time on his three-pick day during organized team activities, but his ultimate fate has nothing to do with how he plays. As long as Geno Smith continues to improve and play well, he'll open the season as the Jets' starter, and Sanchez will be let go during the summer. You don't get bashed by your head coach after Day 2 of OTAs unless the writing is on the wall. But he won't be out of work long. After the Jets let him go, the drama will really get going. He'll land in either Jacksonville or Cleveland as a backup/potential starter down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFSIKH Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Number 1, 2 and are not exactly bold. Four, is not exactly bold either, but waiving Sanchez might be a minor tremor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 That guy predicts us to waive Sanchez AND sign Lloyd and Bradshaw? With what cap space? lol. Sanchez being cut even after June 1st still costs us about $5M in 2013 cap space, right? That's not a bold prediction, that's an impossible one. And Idzik doesn't strike me as a guy to make panic signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O23 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Ryan Lindley. Eh you give him 4 full years and the Jet's defense I bet he can match Sanchez's production (or lack there of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
