I also don't like the deal because I think Richardson is a good (and still young) football player, and this team has very few good football players (you can count them on one hand).

Saul Goodman Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Woohoo! Joyous day. Another Idzik draft pick gone, and one that happens to be a titanic douche and team cancer. Bet he sits on the bench during the anthem with Michael Bennett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 The Jets have an Extra 5th this year as well, correct? From Dallas? If so, 9 picks and more salary cap room than they can probably spend is at least the proper way to start a rebuild. Even if it's 3 years after they should have done it to begin with.

This move makes sense -- the Jets have clearly been going for the tank by cutting loose all of the players of value who are unlikely to be here in a year or two. We have too many guys to pay on the DL; Sheldon was always going to be the odd man out with his moronic antics. Getting a 2nd is a dream. If Sheldon is the difference between 1-15 and 3-13, then all the better. #SuckForSam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealeb319 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Seahawks overpaid for a 1 year rental I doubt they resign the guy he is going to hold out and try to be the highest paid player in history. Would be funny too if he gets himself suspended this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Got the two as the incentive to eat Kearse's contract, but who cares, really. Kearse stinks and Seattle is laughing at the Jets about as much as they were when we hired Idzik away from them. This is a case where Maccagnan had to remove yet another player from the locker room who Todd Bowles couldn't handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In principal I agree, but Sheldon was leaving after this year so the Jets would get nothing but a compensatory pic for him. Now, they get a 2nd for him, which is better.

C Mart Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 17 minutes ago, Lith said: I really think that the reason why Jermaine Kearse was in the deal was $$$ for Seattle (plus our obvious need for an experienced WR). By taking Kearse in addition to the 2 -- it cleared $2MM cap space for Seattle so there was no need for Sheldon to redo his contract. Deal makes sense for both sides. I read last night Kearse was being shopped. It's why I knew of his college WCO experience. I looked him up and thought he could be a good addition this yr based on his experience and experience in WCO.

They couldn't and for 2 reasons . A 1st time HC and GM needed to show that with some talent, they could produce a winning team . The Money john Idzik didn't spend needed to be spent and it needed to be spent on players that would eat up the required amount and fulfill the 1st reason .

flgreen Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 20 minutes ago, Tony MaC said: This was a great trade. We were never keeping Richardson after this year, Mac just turned a would be free agent who we may or may not have got a (third round at best) comp pick for into a second rounder. AND a WR who might help us. This is a winner, I never thought something like this could be pulled off. very unlikely they would get a comp pick. Comp picks are based on when a team loses more FA's then they sign. Jets have $80 M cap space next year. No comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 1 hour ago, gEYno said: Last year Kearse had a 46% Catch Rate, which, along with Hackenberg's 50% completion percentage should really rev the engines of this offense. We just traded one of our top 3 players for a guy who isn't even one of Seattle's top 3 pass-catchers. We better get that 2nd. Actually, he would have been 5th on Seattle's depth chart this year. They like his blocking but he struggles to create separation. According to Rotoworld, we get their 2nd round pick and we swap 7th round picks. If that is accurate, it is a good deal -- it is all about the 2nd round pick. Seattle probably insisted we take Kearse in order to get the 2nd since he is under contract through 2018 ($5 million) and they have a log jam at WR.

Bleedin Green Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Sheldon for a 2nd is something I would be happy with regardless of the situation. Basically, Kearse just ends up being a throw-in from Seattle, which is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
