How happy are we that we didn’t land Kirk Cousins? It would of been a disaster. I don’t think u can draft a center and have him start and be effective game 1 but we could draft a RB in the 2nd round - trade up or down to get a 2nd and throw him right in the fire. Maybe our RBs will be better with an actual O line. In either event we need Paradis. Bell would be an expensive bonus that would hurt us elsewhere. Last time I looked we still need a corner. I agree that we need Paradis more than Bell, but we can't control where players prefer to go. If Paradis should get 3/30 and we offer 3/35 what else can Macc do. Personally, I am pretty ambivalent on Bell. Not a huge fan of signing RBs at 27 to big deals, but it doesn't sound like it will cost as much as the media thought. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macc can't just sign every player he wants. There are plenty of other teams with cap space and players have other considerations when picking teams. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the notion that we get conflicting reports and this is dragging out a little longer than expected shouldn't be surprising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they win 11 the division this year he is a failure because he didn't get Bell or Paradis? How does that make sense? He failed to get Cousins, instead Darnold fell in our lap. Stop being so dramatic about free agent signings. They are fun. They fill needs. They don't always pan out and sometimes the ones you don't get are a blessing in disguise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be respectable He dicked around with the Steelers for a few months so waiting a few hours isn't a big deal. The reality is that he sat out an entire year and is likely trying to milk every penny out of the Jets before signing. I can't really blame him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoJoTownsell1 9,598 Posted March 12, 2019 1 minute ago, Darnold Schwarzenegger said: If Macc is only bidding against himself, and somehow doesn't sign Bell, he sucks worse than I thought What are you talking about? This happens all the time in free agency across all sports. A team really wants a player and is the only team willing to pay a certain amount, the player knows it and tries to milk every last penny. The team eventually says FU and pulls the offer and the player signs with another team for less. Do some of you guys follow sports outside of the Jets bubble you live in? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
