Just in time. Texans might have complicated things.

He was just signed to a one year deal. I thought he might have been an impactful player for them. He was reportedly taking a month away for personal reasons. He's still only 26.

are you referring to his Bronco days? He was an assistant to the director then but i don't think we know how much of it he was actually responsible for.

"The Jets requests for GM interviews have gone out, sources say. Among them: Eagles VP Player Personnel Joe Douglas and Bears Assistant Director of Player Personnel Champ Kelly." Finally. Assuming Kelly is to fill the Rooney Rule requirement, Douglas is our guy.

Something called the "Rooney Rule"

Daniel Jeremiah said he hasn't been contacted by the Jets. “Look, I haven’t said anything on any of this stuff with the Jets,” Jeremiah said. “The reason I haven’t said anything [is] I have not been contacted by anybody with the Jets. I’m very happy doing what I’m doing here. I couldn’t be happier, things couldn’t be better.”

"The Jets added a punter Monday, signing free agent Matt Darr to a contract. Darr, 26, played five games with the Buffalo Bills last season while averaging 40.5 yards per punt and posting a net average of 36.3. Prior to joining the Bills, the 6’1”, 217-pound Darr spent two seasons in Miami including the 2016 campaign under current Jets head coach Adam Gase. During those two years, he had a gross punting average of 46 and a net putting average of 39.8. For his career, Barr has had 33% of his punts (67 of 202) downed inside the opposition 20-yard-line. Darr joins incumbent punter Lachlan Edwards on the roster."

Terrible comp for our former 1st round pick! We couldn't even get a 5th??? Wow

Johnson's statement: "This morning, I informed Mike that he was being relieved of his duties as General Manager of the team, effective immediately. Mike helped to execute the strategic vision of the organization during the last four seasons and especially the past few months. However, I came to the decision to make a change after much thought and a careful assessment of what would be in the best long-term interests of the New York Jets. I will start a search for our new General Manager immediately. In the interim, Coach Gase will be the acting General Manager. I would like to thank Mike for his time and efforts during his tenure, and I wish only the best for him and his wife Betty.”

Took long enough. Looks bad. Now who replaces him?

A couple of sites have Polite ranked right next to Winovich. CBS had him sandwiched between Allen and Sweat!

He did just turn 24 last week

Value-wise. Our 2 3's can only approximately get us up to the 20th pick in the 2nd. Not sure i would want to do that.

I would have preferred not to find out if he becomes any good in our division. He's gonna have a serious chip on the chip already on his shoulder.
