Larz Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 everyone expecting a day 1 FA bonanza should plan on being let down. This team hasn't paid anyone significant cash for over 2 years.

This is not the behavior of a team about to go FA crazy. idzik has said his plan is to build patiently through the draft to be a consistent contender anyone not listening to that is choosing not to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehFalcon63 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't get why we haven't resigned Howard yet... Our OL gets worse every year. I mean, remember why our OL was: D'Brick-Faneca-Mangold-Moore-Woody Now we have: A regressing D'Brick-Winters-A regressing Mangold (wasn't he rated TERRIBLY by PFF last year?)-Colon-Probably not even Howard anymore We're ****ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's a lousy run blocker. On a run-first team. Who wants to get paid like a top 10 RT. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro55 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 idzik has said his plan is to build patiently through the draft to be a consistent contender anyone not listening to that is choosing not to Who knows. I'd be worried he didn't pay much attention in Seattle if he sticks with that plan though. Remember the Seahawks pretty much made a splash every offseason, good and bad. They made that stupid trade for QB Charlie Whitehurst. They traded for Lynch. They brought in Sydney Rice. They signed Matt Flynn. They traded for Percy Harvin and so on. That team built through the draft because they knew how to find 3-6 round players who could play, but that team also spent a lot of time adding and removing players every offseason. And they also made some big moves for big time players. If the Jets just sit back and wait for the draft, who knows where Idzik learned that from, because it sure wasn't in Seattle.

Arsis Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Adema isn't a word. It's a terrible band from the 90's. Edema is what my parents died of last week. What's that have to do with free agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect many splashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFanatic Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I've been tracking the free agency all morning and I'm getting a little nervous. We ARE going to sign at least one receiver right?? At this point I just want a new body in there. My ideal signing would be Golden Tate or Emmanuel Sanders. Do any of you guys think any one of those guys could turn into a legit #1 WR for us? If none of those guys who do you think out there has a chance at turning into a #1 WR? I just see us coming away with nothing for some odd reason... Thanks guys and here's to a hopefully first successful FA period for our new GM and our boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys and here's to a hopefully first successful FA period for our new GM and our boys Yeah, I'm with you. I have this eerie feeling that the Jets are being used by FA's to get more money from other teams. I bet Vontae Davis is screwing with us to get more money from the Colts. Verner is screwing us to get more money from the Broncos. Asamoah is going to let us buy him a steak dinner before signing with Atlanta. Etc. Etc. Shades of the Nnamdi Asomugha debacle are churning in my stomach. The fact that a lot of veteran WRs are publicly stating their preference to, "go to a team with a proven QB," has demonstrated how much Geno Smith's rawness is really affecting our team.

JetsFanInDenver Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I wont be surprised if there are NO big moves. Maybe McCown. And for the most part players signed in the first couple of days of FA are overpriced. Dont see Idzik overpaying a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely the case. I really hope we land at least one of the receivers. I'd be ok with literally any of them; Decker, Sanders, Tate, Jones, McCluster, Sproles even Hester. They need someone who could make a play. We can't end Free Agency empty handed with all this cap room. We need to sign significant playmakers on both sides.
