NYJ1 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think Mac's actions during free agency speak loudly to his intentions. Darron Lee's days with the Jets are numbered. So when does he get cut? As much as I've never been a fan of the pick there's definitely a trade market for him. He's still 25 and he can fly. He also had a few stints of decent play here and there. That should be impressive enough for a team running a strict 4-3 alignment or a team that wants to make him a Safety due to his diminutive stature to bite. There's no way Mac can recoup the 1st rounder he wasted on Lee, but I think he might be able to get say a 5th for him? Your thoughts/predictions as to when he gets walked?

Team archer Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I honestly dont think he does get traded. I seen some redskins and bengals fans have interest in him but i dont see mac doing it. But who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenwave81 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Why would he be 'cut'? He's low cost on rookie deal, and we save little to turn him loose. Traded? I suppose that's possible, but he ain't going to garner much interest especially with his substance abuse issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinamite Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 If they are able to get anything for him, I would expect it to be before off season work outs begin early April . I would also keep him rather than release him. But maybe they don't want headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 If they can't get much for him I would hold onto him. He's been good in coverage and that has value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 It’s funny I actually think the best front 7 right now is a 4-3 with Jenkins at WDE, McLendon at NT, Williams at DT, Anderson at SDE, Lee at WLB, Mosley at MLB, and Williamson at SLB. Not perfect fits for everyone but I think those are the best 7 while there are more good off ball linebackers than edges. And frankly another edge rusher arguably just pushes Jenkins to being a nice piece as a rotational rusher. Don’t actually run a lot of seven man fronts but Lee was always more of a WLB. I wonder if there’s a trade in place for say the 5th round but they wait until the draft to announce kind of like what I think happened with Leon Washington.

IndianaJet Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 $1.8 million is his salary for the year. No reason at all to let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Darron Lee is most likely going nowhere. Why would he? New Coaching Staff, brings a new defensive scheme, one that finally fits his skill set. He is on a low cost contract, and is on a roster that needs players added, not subtracted. He made strides last year, despite his suspension. This is his last chance to prove he belongs on this team going forward. He will get that chance this year.

k-met57 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 It’s the nfl, You can never have enough depth...not to mention that Lee had a decent year for us (72 on pff) and makes like 2mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxAF Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Lee gets one more year to prove himself. I recall on an early interview where Gase mentioned he liked Lee. https://www.nj.com/jets/2019/02/nfl-combine-2019-5-takeaways-from-jets-adam-gases-press-conference-leveon-bell-unicorn-chris-herndon-rebuilding-roster-more.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJ1 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 I forgot he only makes 1.8 this year. Thanks and that obviously changed the thought process regarding his future. He might actually be better as a second stringer? I never thought he garnered the necessary talent to be 1st string to begin with. But those claiming he gets one more year to prove himself I disagree with. The Jets just signed probably the best ILB in Mosley. He was signed specifically to take Lee's place in the lineup. Lee remaining with the team past this season could only happen if Lee is willing to accept veteran minimum type money. The arrogant little twerp thinks he's worth more.

JetFaninMI Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I agree Lee is going nowhere based on his cost. However the Jets should see what his worth is to other teams. Who knows? Maybe Bowles wants him bad enough to give up something of value for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bla bla bla Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I'd prefer to hold onto him this year unless we can swing him for a 3rd or 4th from the Bucs. Maybe Bowles wants a guy familiar with his defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 No reason to cut or trade him. The Jets have enough holes already and his cost is less then 2 million. Let’s see how he does under new coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneChrebet80 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think if somebody offered a 4th (What Saints gave up for Apple) the Jets would jump at it. Unfortunately hes probably only going to net a 6th at this point so its probably best just keeping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Averagejetsfan1421 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think in Williams defense he will strive if we do trade him I think it’s going to be a draft day trade with the giants.. they want to move up to 3 and can get s young linebacker too it only makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekskill68 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 If I'm not mistaken, by trading him now you are giving your trading partner the ability to decide on his 5th year option for 2020. There is some value to that I think. Waiting to see how he does with our new DC is fine but if he sucks he will have no trade value then since its likely the Jets won't exercise the option. So if it were my call, I'd hit the phones now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread was specifically made because I thought the Jets wouldn't be done making moves to better the team. Maybe he gets traded for a player? Maybe Mac ends up with an additional pick in the draft? In regards to the comment, it's a fact. Everyone knows it. Get over it. It also goes back to proving just how bad the 2016 draft truly was. If not for Jenkins, the Jets would be looking at another 2014 John Idzik draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Just how is he going to prove himself when we have mosely and avery williamson? He won't see the field.

I agree he's a bad fit for the 3-4, but claiming he won't see the field isn't true. They're not going to simply keep him and plant him on the bench.
