Mecca Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hey guys, so I have an agent friend. The same friend that told me Hack was a lock for us a week before the draft. He told me that the Jets are preparing a 180 million dollar contract with 100 guaranteed to Kirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untouchable Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 My source says not only will the Jets land Cousins, but Barkley is a lock to fall to #6. Good times ahead, gents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times ahead, gents. This RB class is very deep. I still don’t see the value in a first round RB. Barkley is a great running back but I just don’t see the value. Would depend on how free agency got figured out. And Jay Cutler shouldn’t be a consideration for this team at any level. Ever. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Killa Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Getting Cutler and Cousins doesn’t really make much sense. I know Bates is the connection ..but unless Cutler is going to be the back up on a bet minimum contract then it’s pointless imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Yeah, agree with everyone else that the combo of both Cousins and Cutler makes no sense. In regards to the latter, my only guess is the basis of that report would be Cutler's history with Bates. Given how highly he's spoken of Bates in the past, it's entirely possible Cutler would be the one who'd want to make that move, rather than the other way around. The only other possibility would be if Cutler would be considered some sort of backup plan, if they weren't to land Cousins, although I wouldn't be so thrilled with that. In regards to that Cousins offer, if at all accurate, I would imagine that means the offer would likely be for 6 years, maybe 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe the Cousins aspect That at least makes a bit more sense. Obviously Cutler wouldn't be a long-term answer, so you'd think if they were planning to go QB in the draft anyway if they missed out in Cousins, they'd simply bring back McCown.

Stark Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 To me based on what your sources are saying, I am hearing: JETS #1 target is Cousins if that fails then Cutler is the #2 option (probably due to the Bates connection) and we will draft a QB, which Bowles will leave on the bench for 3 years as Cutler gives us the best chance to win.

No. I agree about Barkley. I love him as a RB but I just don't see the value at 6. Not when the team has massive other needs. Frankly, if we landed cousins I would be on board to trade down as we need DE Pass Rusher- assuming Wilk is released, RB, O-line, O-line, and O-line.

And probably close to what the going rate is on a long term deal for a 'Franchise' QB. Whether you agree that Cousins is a 'Franchise' QB is a completely irrelevant, b/c there WILL be a team that believes that he is, and not just the Jets.

rex-n-effect Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Cousins' current contract is $24MM and 100% guaranteed so yes, he's going to look for a larger contract than $25MM. He's definitely landing somewhere between $25-30MM. I'm not sold that he's worth that contract and I'd love to see us land a early 20s starter in the draft; but reality is this is not a coaching regime that seems capable of coaching up a young QB. I'd rather spend the money at QB and draft great supporting cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsbb Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Maccagnon knows he is tied to a very limited Bowles. Cousins gives him the best chance at staying GM instead of rolling the dice on a young QB. He will give Cousins whatever he wants for his own Job security not necessarily whats best for the team.

I don't know abut Tannehill, if he's in their plans. Maybe they want to draft a Qb too. As for the money for Cousins why is he attracting such high salaries. He is good but not great. I wouldn't give him that deal. I could see McCown going to KC maybe as a backup to the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
