  1. The messages are right there. "JetBlue controls players and the New York Jets owners."
  2. Don't care. It's too early to start winning 2025.
  3. No we have Zach Wilson at home.
  4. It sure sounded like that earlier line was about ZW but definitely a shot at Douglas because ZW was supposed to have a redshirt year. It's comical for Woody to whine that Douglas didn't plan for Rodgers to drop during the season but Woody thought the same when he passed on buying insurance against a Rodgers injury. There's no conspiracy or greater power keeping ZW on the team. Woody is looking at his second potential top five QB bust holding tight to the belief that he was right about ZW and right about Rodgers converting ZW into a star. He's doing what wealthy people do: believe in themselves absolutely and blame everybody else for their failings.
  5. Between this and the rumors in the other thread, just seems a lot like a desperate PR campaign to elicit trade offers before the draft. It's real nuts that Woody or anybody else in the front office believes other teams can be duped into this nonsense. It's on brand for this team but still nuts. Or JetBlue strikes again.
  6. It's not out of the realm of possibility that he comes back but I would be extremely surprised if the Jets are turning down offers and this isn't ZW's agent spreading rumors to generate the appearance of demand. I still think he gets cut but I don't care if he's back. There's no extra money paid to keep him and he's QB3 put on a shelf never to be seen after the preseason. If the Jets end up down to any QB3 this season, the season is over regardless.
  7. Seems he still thinks there is a market for him to land a starting role or at least a deal where he's seriously competing for the starting job. Until his mindset changes, he's not likely to sign any backup contracts. My guess here is that he's still unemployed through the draft and accepts his fate during the summer when some team needs another body at tackle. I wouldn't be hateful if the team picks him up on a backup contract but I'm not losing sleep if he goes off to another team.
  8. I don't believe Lazard has ever played slot but he isn't exactly built to play slot, either. It makes way more sense to put him as WR4/5 primarily as a backup to the outside receivers. The Jets need to come up with a legit slot receiver this offseason.
  9. So this story is going around that Fields "blocked" trades to four teams before the Steelers. All of the stories I've seen point out they have no idea who the other teams are and give no details on how his camp might have blocked trades. Only that all four teams would have upgraded their QB room with Fields. I don't believe rookie contracts ever have a poison pill provision. I don't believe this at all. Sounds a lot like damage control for Fields to pretend that there was more of a market for him. Not only does it seem like there was no serious market for him, but it sounds like the only reason the Steelers went after Fields is because that team was desperate to get Pickett off the roster and needed a replacement.
  10. There are slightly different rules for incentives and roster bonuses and when they hit the cap but eventually they always hit the cap. There are two types of performance incentives: likely to be earned (LTBE) and not likely to be earned (NLTBE). Likely to be earned are incentives that pay out if the player hits a goal they hit in the preceding year. Like a WR made 50 catches last year and this year his contract has an incentive if he catches 40 passes. Those incentives count against the salary cap this year. If the WR fails to achieve the incentive goal, the performance incentive is credited to the following year's cap. Not likely to be earned work the other way around. A WR caught 40 passes last year. The incentive this year pays if he catches 50. These incentives do not count against the salary cap this year. If he receives the performance incentive this year, it attaches to the salary cap for next year. Roster bonuses work similar to LTBE incentives. You look back at how many games the player played the prior year and multiply that by the per-game roster bonus. That amount falls under the current year's cap. If the player plays more games than expected, each additional game hits the current year's cap. If the player plays fewer games than the prior year, the cap is credited the remainder in the following year.
  11. The reports seem true with nobody disputing them and consistency with how poorly Woody and Douglas talked about him since the last game. Who's leaking this mess to reporters? It makes ZW and the Jets look terrible.
  12. With the injury history on this OL, it's fairly likely he'll see play time. A lack of interest in FA can be a real wake up call for him. If he comes back humbled, he may be willing to put in the work as a backup. If he comes back with a sh*t attitude, Douglas should let him continue to try his luck somewhere else.
  13. Lazard wasn't this bad at WR2 with Rodgers but he sure seemed to not give any kind of sh*t about anything last year other than kicking around a soccer ball. It's going to be tough getting a decent trade out of that contract for somebody who performed so poorly for the money.
