Mac knows the clocks went forward an hour, instead of back an hour, right?

I get the impatience to want news.. But there is no rumors or unofficial announcements yet on any of the big names.. That will change in about 4-5 hours.

I'd be interested. 

Worth a look.  No compensation, but the Bears can match.  I don't think he will be ready to work out for anybody for some time though.

from Day 1, the Jets offer was $4 million per year for 2 years.  

Which IMO already had the $2m premium built in.

Mac's about 24 hours away from getting canned

This place will be implode if we start hearing Robinson Signing with Bears, Cousins signing with Vikings, Norwell signs with the Giants and Watkins signs with the 49ers before we even get off the couch.

Nfl network just said Washington believes they substantily upgraded their QB by going with Alex Smith instead of Cousins.

not sure what "premium" you speak of.  I had read that the Jets offer to ASJ  was $4 million per year for a 2 year deal.  Never anything else.  And now I'm reading that Mac is sticking to it.  I never read anything about $2 million per year.  At all. I must have missed that if it indeed is correct.

Is there any chance Washington would come out and say "Washington believes they substantially downgraded their QB by going with Alex Smith instead of Cousins."????

That’s what was posted here a week or two ago. If I read it wrong then I take back giving Macc credit for the offer.

Are you suggesting they're being dishonest?

I fully expect Alex Smith to go back to being the level of QB he was at somewhere between his first few years at 9ers and Harbaugh, but not anything more.

I agree, but we have 90 million in cap space. If we come out of free agency with a concussion plagued center, marginal QB and a 4th string RB well there will be some very disgruntled jets fans. And rightfully so.

That's why I don't understand why we're not in the Allen Robinson sweepstakes. 

Yeah...I agree with all of that. Should absolutely be all over Robinson 

I was just saying just have no issue with signing a back in that mold later in FA.

As the Kirk Cousins sweepstakes heats up, sources say at least 2 teams are prepared to offer the free agent QB a 3-year, fully guaranteed contract if that’s what it takes. At least one other team will do a similar deal nearly fully guaranteed. Would make him the highest paid QB.

If I am Mac - the 3-year term makes us pull out of the negotiations... We would be bringing him in to be the long-term answer here. Not be the QB version of Revis

I think that the Jets are the team ready to go 3 yrs fully guaranteed. Bowles is probably getting excited about never playing a rookie QB.

Bowles = pussy

It always amazes me how so many people here (not only you) just love to unleash the negativity at their best on the morning of big days like the draft or beginning of free agency.  It's like the NFL calendar is a schedule by which SOJF on this board like to spew.  It's as predictable as Old Faithful. 

It amazes people here (not only you) expect big things out of FA when you're GM has shown zero ability to sign sought after FA's.

I get excited for the draft, just inevitably let down. 

Sorry we're different.

Twitter is blowing up with chatter. Jimmy talking to the Pack, 49ers chasing Norwell, chiefs and bears looking at Watkins..

 

Nothing on the Jets front.

Can't be.  3 years seems perfect for Minn and Denver.  I hope.

On the plus side, Robbie Anderson will be out on parole for most Cousins’ walk year.

This doesn't mean much. The one thing this group has actually done right is keep the building buttoned up in terms of leaks.

Now you are on the defensive in attack stance and incorrect to boot.  I never said I expected anything from UFA.  I'm just amazed that some posters here pull out their finest versions of extreme negativity on days like this.  It speaks volumes.  They save their most pointed negativism for days when the rest of the fan base is hopeful.  Fantastic trollism, if you ask me.

Alex Smith is the definition of average, and the Redskins are 100% correct!

If it makes you feel better, listening to you guys twist yourselves into knots to justify every dumbass thing this franchise does is no picnic either.

This is true. Even in 2015 when they signed a bunch of players, they were extremely quiet during the tampering period.
