Would make sense to move him if another player of need becomes available. I've read rumors on a Lee for Eagles Aghilor type of trade. That said, why should we be anxious to move a player that *does* have talent. At worst, he shifts down on the depth chart, provides insurance, and becomes an elite ST'er because of his speed. Fans want to rush players off the roster complaining we have have player a and b already on the roster, and then in the next sentence, suggest we don't have depth, and bottom of the roster talent...

I actually think Jets fans spend far too much time killing the GM overall, because it seems the "hip" thing to do and we have a lot of arm chair GM's in the fan base. Some deserve it, some don't. Always good to debate, but except for the few draftnik's or the people on the board that do some of this for a living or as a hobby and have *some* credence to their views, most of us don't have nearly the access these people do, and I always get a kick at how brash and naive fans can be on this topic. The Jets fan base overall are the most cynical in the country. I get it that the team has earned some of that, I've been one for over 35 years. But fans have no patience, and it drives me nuts. Anyway, I actually think Mac has done a good job overall. I look at the entire body of work. This team heading into this year, compared to what he had when he took over. There is a LOT to be excited about with this roster, going into THIS season. Every roster has holes, not every position and every slot on the 53 will be a first round pick. I think draft strategy requires to get the best talent first, tayloring to needs fit, culture, and player "type" based on coaching regime's strategy second. Like every GM, even the greatest ever, they make mistakes, they "miss," etc etc... Mac has done a good job getting this roster to where it is today, taking over a complete mess, with players that they themselves failed. Players like Wilkerson and Richardson, great talents that just decided to let themselves go... That's not always on the GM.

A staple in Gase's offensive scheme.

The biggest risk player was Austin, but was at a position of need, and the player was highly regarded that if healthy would have been a day 1 or 2 pick. Killing this pick is absurd. Debating there was another player on the board that would have been a better selection? Sure, always debatable, but who and why? All I see on the board are fans lashing out, Fire Mac, blah blah blah... Yet, our armchair GM's don't offer up their preferred plan. From what I've read, the Jets did their homework on these players, and with Austin's medical history. He may never work out, but in the 6th round, that is where you select a player like Austin.

Why bother to inject reason and common sense, when it completely destroys the agenda and narrative of the pompous SOJF debbie downer know it alls of the board?

What is the alternative? These are 5th and 6th round picks, it's the right place in the draft to go after high risk/high reward players. Taking a shot at a player that at one time was on the path to being a day 1 or day 2 pick is good strategy. You factor in current make up of roster, the work done in FA, and the work still yet to be done... Far too much criticism on players selected on day 3.

🙄 This guy

In the head!

Unless Jets get a great offer, he should go no where... Would be very good #3 MLB behind Williamson and Mosley. Rookie contract.

Upgrade from Tomlinson, ST'er, and knows Gase/Loggains offensive system. Depth signing, Jets will sign more of these, not sure why people are freaking out. Seems like a solid depth player.

Hopefully, the Jets can beat the Browns to the FA pick-up... Too soon? 🤔

Yep!

So is the fan base going to freak out about every piece of news that involves a player that isn't a name player? That $100 million needs to be used to rebuild a hefty chunk of the roster, not to put it all on big name players... 🙄

As opposed to an OC with a defensive mind? 🤔

Great video and analysis!

This exactly!!! DB and WR injuries too much to overcome without a move like this, makes sense. Burnett gets a taste of action, Prior will be back! Only other possibility is a trade coming, but I doubt it!

The release of this book is surely going to exponentially advance that timeline... It will be fascinating watching how things play out even this year as the book comes out. Watching the media pounce will be popcorn worthy.

Pretty much... Instant swelling after watching that video... Is it 7 pm on Monday yet?

Giants trying to sneak him on their PS; jets grab him on waivers as #3

Boom! #realnews

Bingo! What's up all?

You're still waiting, because nobody has said anything of the sort.

Who gives a sh*t? Another lame excuse to dump on Bowles? 🙄 Belichick's defenses were never top of the line. The hero worshipping of Belichick by some is over the top ridiculous. Yes, great coach, overall, teams are well coached. With Brady declining, let's see how things go, because Belichick burns plenty of bridges, players leave and they speak out on him too. Pepper is out of the league for a reason, and Belichick let him go too!
