ScarletKnight89 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The Jets clearly identified Barr as a guy who was worth giving a big contract to and Houston as someone who isn't, most likely because of his age. I'd love Houston but he's probably commanding more money than the Jets are willing to give him. He'd be great to add on a short term deal but if Houston is going to take a short term contract, it's probably not going to be with a team like the Jets. It looks like Macc has made a commitment to sign FA's who are young and can be here for a while. He learned his lesson from his first off season when he paid guys like Marshall, Revis, Cromartie who didn't have much time left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys a freak hopefully his price comes down It may come down, Vac was saying guys like Shane Ray and Ziggy may have to lower their prices too. Still solid guys out there. The second phase of free agency is where teams are made. Poole could be a good signing for us, young and has showed flashes. Still have a ton of work to do but excited where it is going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully80 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I don't think Jets want Houston. Like an earlier post said, they've had a ton of time to evaluate the market and Houston still isn't a Jet, nor has he visited. Sounds like they made a call and heard what he wanted and walked away. They may circle back if no one gives him that money but I don't see it. I agree with everyone here I'd give him 4 years, how many guys have we seen be effective pass rushers in the mid 30s Demarcus Ware and Cameron Wake immediately come to mind.

RichardTodd27 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Houston had 9 sacks in 12 games last year (and 10 the year before). We might have to pay this guy something substantial. If we still have the cap room, I don't see why not. You can never have too many elite pass rushers (and as of now, we pretty much don't have any ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costello said he doubts the jets look into him on Joe and Evan yesterday. For a short term deal with an out, I see no reason not too. We have so much cap and glaring holes. Give him $13-15mil per for 3 years with an out after 2. We need talent at all costs and don’t have to worry about the cap for s few years. This gives us draft flexibility in case we are lucky enough to have a trade down option. We aren’t stuck reaching because we have zero pass rush. Houston alone would help greatly compared to the trash that we had last year. It wouldn’t be a “good deal” but would fill a major need and be better than rolling over a sh*t ton of money again.

Yeah I wouldn't want him... but maybe with a Hardcore coach like Williams that will bench him and a leader like Mosley it will light a fire under his ass.... give him a 1-2 year prove it deal. benefits both him (ups his value for next offseason) and the Jets will have another pass rusher opposite Bosa/Allen/Sweat whoever they draft that will take over for the ansah role by the end of the year.

playtowinthegame Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I think Mac is done handing out big contracts. We are going thrift shopping and monitoring the trade market as well as a potential trade down. I expect a big draft trade by Mac which will involve the 3rd overall pick. The Cardinals and 49ers are NOT picking Kyler Murray or Dwayne Haskins. Here is how I see the first 2 picks of the draft going: 1. Arizona Cardinals: Nick Bosa, DE/3-4OLB, Ohio State Note: They are not pulling the plug on Rosen after 1 year. They'll select the best edge rusher! in the draft. 2. San Francisco 49ers: Quinnen Williams, DT/3-4DE , Alabama Note: John Lynch played with Warren Sapp and he will build his defense around that beast. 3. New York Jets: Draft Josh Allen or trade down to with the Giants, Lions, Redskins, Bengals, Broncos, or Dolphins. The choice for Mac is an easy one. Trade down and turn one pick (3rd overall) into 2 to 3 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
