If we re-sign our top 7 UFAs, I think we have 11 needs this off season

[Sarge4Tide]

 

By my estimation, the Jets have 42 of the 53 players that will be on next year's opening day 53 man roster.  This assumes we re-sign our top Unrestricted Free Agents

1. McCown
2. Sefarian-Jenkins
3. Mike Pennel
4. Kony Ealy
5. Demario Davis
6. Morris Claiborne
7. Chandler Catazano

With the cap space we have, we can probably sign all 7 of those without too much of a dent.  Ealy might be the hardest to keep

If we re-sign all 7 we have 42 players I feel good about for next year, meaning, of course, that we need to find 11 players this off season through the draft or free agency:

1. Quarterback (Starting Quality)
2. Running Back (Backup)
3. Wide Receiver (Backup or Kick Returner)
4. Offensive Lineman (Starting Quality)
5. Offensive Lineman (Starting Quality)
6. Offensive Lineman  (Backup)
7. Linebacker (Starting Quality OLB)
8. Linebacker (Backup ILB)
9. Cornerback (Starting Quality)
10. Safety (Backup)
11. Defensive Backup at DL, LB, or CB

I guess you didn't do too much this New Years Eve. 

[section314]

Agree with you on all but Seferian-Jenkins.

Agreed. ASJ was OK but I like what I saw from Sterling. I wouldn't off much for ASJ & if he balks? Sayanara. 

[nycdan]

Maybe add one more CB to the mix and cut Skrine.

We should also specify that we absolutely need a new Center next year as one of the OL starters.

 

[Maxman]

I would like to cut shaved even though he played well down the stretch.

I also really hope that McCown retires.

He isn't going to replicate last season they need to not fall into that trap of thinking he can even be a bridge.

The center needs to be mission two right behind QB. Like when you get a new QB see if he has any center recommendations lol.

Unfortunately, the FA market for Centers looks bleak.  About the only guy that feels like he could be an upgrade from Johnson is the NYG guy - Richburg.  He's no Mangold but he may be the only option out there.  Ugly.  The other choice is to hope we can get our mitts on Billy Price or maybe Ragnow with one of our 2nd rounders.  

[SenorGato]

None of those FAs are really worth resigning.

[JohnnyLV]

So much wrong with that, I do not know where to even start. We are way more than 11 players next year in terms of player turn over. We could easily have over 20 new players on the opening day roster.

[LIJetsFan]

We're not keeping both Petty and Hack.  One is gone, probably Petty and his zero upside.

[Barkus]

We need to upgrade RB. Powell needs to split time with another solid back. McGuire is a 3rd down back-up type guy. 

Center needs a major upgrade 

Draft a guard to starting pushing carpenter and/or winters

With enunwa coming back I think we can win the WR group we have as long as qb is decent and get contributions from RB and TE position in passing game.

[NoBowles]

Can someone wake me up in 2020 when we start over again with a new regime?

[NYallDay]

Agreed. ASJ was OK but I like what I saw from Sterling. I wouldn't off much for ASJ & if he balks? Sayanara. 

Saw from sterling? Has like 4 catches for the season. Retain asj or get top FA.

He just stated on some recent article I thought about posting, he wanted to be a Jet for life.

 

you hear this a lot though..I.E Brandon Marshall..Darrelle Revis

[SayNoToDMC]

It's find a QB or rinse and repeat the same sh*t I've been watching since I was born

Todd Bowles: There are a lot of guys I’d like back, but it’s a business. Says football is a revolving door.

i think you forget dylan donohue. no tomlinson?  i also think catanazaro can be replaced. i have no problem re-signing mccown as long as he is firmly planted to the bench.  better yet, make him a qb coach.
