Dunnie Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Don't kid yourself. Mac is still a horrible GM, who is NOT highly respected around the league. It was foolish to keep him when they cut Bowles loose. He got taken for a ride by Barr and inexplicably told Paradis to wait while they were waiting on Bell. F-ing idiot. Once again, Mac can't multi-task. How in the world did we ever acquire (and 4 awful years later decide to keep) such a handicapped GM? It is mind boggling.Dcat you are better than this ... What do Barr and Cousins have in common ???

I would have targeted a pure edge and Barr rather than and ILB. No one could have seen that coming though. It’s one thing to not want to come here and use us but it’s another to verbally agree and then back out. That sucks. Indeed under the law it is actionable. Meaning you give your word and people rely on your word to their detriment (meaning lost opportunity or $$$$$) you can be sued. The NFL should do something now before a team eventually sues the player, as well as the Agent and the league itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brown Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 2 hours ago, Sonny Werblin said: The problem Bell presents is that it is really, really difficult to "take him away" because he is so versatile. He can run inside and outside, blocks well, and has the skillset of a starting slot receiver. So, how do you take him away? 8 in the box can stop the running, but then you shift him outside and suddenly the D has the wrong personnel on the field. If you go nickel or dime against him, the jets will run the ball. IMO, only 1 D scheme can slow Bell down and it requires a team to have 3 starting quality Safeties. Big Nickel would be my base package against Bell. Unless all of your starting LB's are really good in coverage. And even that would not neutralize him. Thank you! Bell as you indicated is as versatile as he is dangerous. If Bell plays up to his potential he will be one the best offensive weapons in NYJ history.

One of the best offensive weapons - yes weapon because he is a rb and wr - is signed and people get mad because the gm couldn't find one in the draft. It is ok to dislike Mac but it would be stupid to complain about this deal. The money is what it is. Remember the cap keeps going up. Bell basically makes $5 million more per year than Jerrick McKinnon lol. Think about that for a second. Seriously....the dude has hall of fame like talent.

The Vikings are quickly losing a lot of trading partners. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk The Jets NEVER had any deal in place with Cousins. They made him an offer and then he accepted the Vikings offer That's fair. On the other hand, from what I surmise, there was a deal in place for Barr and he reneged. (Like CB Winfield did to the Jets many years ago). That's dirty pool. Mac got screwed by Barr and his agent. Not the same at all as Cousins.

Charlie Brown Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 2 hours ago, Chrebetfan80 said: yea its out there now so i feel like i can say it... The league actually has a pretty big issue on its hands with this... I'm not sure how many times something like this has happened, but in a period the nfl created to drive FA popularity further, their first real hiccup is this with the jets where they have a player that agreed to a deal, Would have signed it if it was actual FA, and then backed out costing a team valuable time with other FA. the fact that he backed out so much later and other guys at that position who the team would have targeted signed elsewhere in that time frame is a very bad optic for the league. Like i said legally the jets have no leg to stand on really since its known players cant sign, but with how the league caves to media pressure its worth holding their feet to the fire to see if you can get anything. AS I stated above I do believe that the doctrine of detrimental reliance would give the Jets a legal leg to stand on.. What is Detrimental reliance? "Detrimental reliance is a term commonly used to force another to perform their obligations under a contract (Oral Contracts Count and = an Oral Promise for an Oral Promise), using the theory of promissory estoppel. Promissory estoppel may apply when the following elements are proven: A promise was made (Here the Jets & Barr). The Jets relying on the promise by Barr was reasonable or foreseeable."

The Steelers offered $17 million guaranteed on a five-year, $70 million deal, Bell says. Though the particulars of those guarantees are unknown, it's likely that $17 million was the signing bonus and they counted the first year as essentially guaranteed since they wouldn't cut him months after doing a deal.

RBs can be had/drafted at a BETTER VALUE @$475K/year and a rough total of $4M for 4 YEARS! A GOOD DRAFTER, and MOST of the NFL, will NOT pay a Premium for a position - RB - that depreciates at a MUCH HIGHER Rate than any other offensive position on the team and are susceptible to career-ending injury on ANY given play when compared to other positions. THAT SAID. Mac CAN NOT DRAFT for $hit and it's WHY the Jets - perceived as the NFL's "Johns" for always signing aging past-prime high-priced FA - have to PAY PREMIUM $ for Offensive Weapons. In Principle, I'm against paying a RB THAT MUCH in FA, but Jets MUST take advantage of Darnold's rookie contract and surround the QB w/weapons. The Jets are better and I'm happier for it and we DID get a better deal than MOST anticipated, but it still stings to pay a RB $14M/year and a MLB $17M/Year.

The Paradis thing is being misreported as you are quoting here and has since been corrected... The Jets were the first to the table with an offer when he first came to NY and basically told his agent that he wants to go to the country and not a big city. So they used the Jets to get better offers but that is why the Jets pulled their offer... He didn't want to come... Hence the tweet from Gary it takes 2 to Tango...

If the player/agent go that far to agree to terms and then leave them at the alter, the team that they sign with should have to cough up a 3rd round pick. Not too steep of a price but not too small where it would keep everyone honest. This should go both ways in case the team backs out and screws the player.
