#27TheDominator Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 24 minutes ago, choon328 said: Production is the only thing that matters once you're in the NFL. Paying players solely based on talent without the production is a huge mistake. Quinnen will probably beat Leo's production from 2018 and that won't be hard to do. Especially, since all I heard leading up to the draft on this site was how he was a "generational talent". So if you trade Leo you have the same defensive line as last year except swapping Quinnen for Leo. That means you have an improved defensive line from 2018 and an extra 3rd(?) for the 2020 draft. Talent + coaching = production. I'm not lining up to pay him, but as I showed you, he has produced a sh*t load more than the 2 slugs you want to use to replace him. I would probably defer to Gregg Williams because the extra $14M isn't doing us much good. I like draft picks, but a 3rd rounder for a guy that would start on pretty much every team in the league isn't something I would jump on, though I might take it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alka Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 The thought of trading Leo for anything less than a 1st round draft pick makes me sick. The bottom line is that like someone else said on this board recently, Leo could start for basically any team in the NFL, so why would the Jets trade someone that they need for our team? Outside of Quinnen, "who is better than Leo to start on the D'line?" We assume Quinnen will be better, but until he proves it, Leo is the best D' Lineman we have on the team. Just to be serious, there are a lot of really intelligent Jets fans out there, but the thought of getting rid of Leo for a 3rd round pick makes me question that statement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterChiefJets Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Why get rid of Leo now? If Williams has a place for him in his Defense, he will be here for this year at least.

But when you add Quinnen and Henry, that seems like too many resources applied there, and Leo’s contract is up now. To me this is more of an odd man out thing rather than is Leo worth it. Leo is not that different a player from Trey Flowers, at least statistically. Just too expensive for a 2nd contract DL who oftentimes don’t work. If I am a GM I draft DL and sign FA to short contracts, even if expensive per year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily find a player like Leo in Free Agency or the draft. 3. The D-line is stacked and the Jets don't need Leo. 4. Leo is too expensive to keep long term. 5. Leo has not lived up to where he was drafted so he was a bad draft pick from the beginning. To me, there may be SOME truth to these things, but the reality is that players like Leo do not come around that often. He's not a JAG that you can sign on the cheap or pick up in the 3rd round and say to yourself, well, I can probably get the same impact from this guy as I can from Leo. Leo IS an impact player, regardless of how many sacks he gets. All you have to do is watch him play. For the past 4 years that he has been a Jet it looked like he was the only one causing havoc on the opposing O-line. You can't just assume you can draft a guy like that. Certainly not in the 2nd or 3rd round. He has been in the league for 4 seasons, stayed healthy ALL OF THEM. And he' 24 years old. 24!

He is one of our best players and Gase would be a complete idiot if he traded him for a 3rd or 2nd round pick. I would even argue that trading him for a starting C would be moronic.

Do not get rid of one of your best players, period. Leo big cat plays like a kitten. When he came out he was slated as the ‘best player’ in the draft yet fell to 6. He probably would have fallen further down if not for Mac taking him. He is NOT an elite DL in the mold of the Rams Donald. He’s decent but that grade doesn’t warrant a huge extended contract. It ain’t gonna happen. If there’s one thing that’s quite apparent, Gase is not settling for mediocre to average players like Macc has. The money they’d spend Leo could be spent elsewhere. Yes like on the OL which I’m sure Gase and the new GM will make a priority in 2020 or begin revamping it even this season.

PFF has him as the 30th best interior lineman last year and if I recall he was 24th the year before. That’s not bad, and it is valuable to have an above average starting caliber player with a lot of upside. Still, he will be expensive and it’s unclear what his real price point should be. It’s also clear that there are much better quality price options in the NFL. Look no further than Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealeb319 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Leo big cat plays like a kitten. When he came out he was slated as the ‘best player’ in the draft yet fell to 6. He probably would have fallen further down if not for Mac taking him. He is NOT an elite DL in the mold of the Rams Donald. He’s decent but that grade doesn’t warrant a huge extended contract. It ain’t gonna happen. If there’s one thing that’s quite apparent, Gase is not settling for mediocre to average players like Macc has. The money they’d spend Leo could be spent elsewhere. Yes like on the OL which I’m sure Gase and the new GM will make a priority in 2020 or begin revamping it even this season. Granting Leo a huge contract based on being a ‘good’ player would be Macc-like. But ohhhh he’s history! Leo big cat plays like a kitten.

But ohhhh he’s history!1) you really think he would have fallen further than the sixth pick if we passed on him with the sixth pick?2) the gase comment, gase traded away his good players in Miami to settle for mediocre ones. Guys like Jay ajayi and Jarvis Landry who were the heartbeat of the dolphins offense got traded away for next to nothing and left the team with no talent to fill the holes.3) who would we spend the money on in free agency? Who will be available? Someone else's players who aren't worth the money to be signed by their own teams?Sent from my LGUS991 using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
