The best thing about a Douglas hire would be the unusual feeling that the Jets actually had a plan here from the start and then successfully executed it.

Figured this deserved its own thread, but feel free to merge if I’m wrong:

I'd love to hear how a negotiation for something like this goes down. It's the Jets so I fully expect it to end something like this. "Sorry Joe, we really like you as a GM candidate and we would

such a savage. I really hate him. 

I imagine that the Jets are also not thrilled that Manish Mehta is their local beat reporter.

I love it when the Jets pretend they have any leverage. 

This time of year they just might. This isn't January when multiple teams are fighting for their new GM.

If this falls through, Douglas goes back to the Eagles and waits six months while the Jets gets publicly destroyed for hiring a different guy to save a few bucks. sh*t would be a monstrous self-own and Sexton would kick Chris Johnson’s head through every extant media portal like motherfuocking Pele.

Douglas is the guy, always has been. That is why when he gets hired he will already have a staff on hand. Then and only then will people realize that he had this job a month ago.

As a condition for taking the job in 2015, Maccagnan demanded that Woody spend more money on scouting:

Thing is I'm pretty sure Sexton represents Darnold to.  Can't wait

Remember when the Jets couldn't get their shiny new Quarterback into camp on time because they were haggling over 750k in offset language on a slotted rookie deal? 

Smh. This friggin team

There is just too much evidence of the Johnson's being cheap.  They spend ONLY when they are forced to.

The biggest problem is that win or lose the massive tv revenue comes into them just the same.

Bowles and Maccagnan, not worth minimum wage, must have been paid at the very bottom of the scale of the league....and you get what you pay for.

The year prior to the idiotic Revis signing (over an outcry), the Jets played the entire year without a Secondary while being significantly below the cap. why there was an outcry.

I don't have much confidence in what will happen with this GM hire, I don't think Douglas is a sure thing to be signed because of the Johnsons , but fortunately, having lucked into Darnold, all the new guy will have to do is make Oline a priority and tweak here and tweak there.

At this point I don't care who it is.  I'm pretty sure he won't draft the Consensus pick in the 1st Rd next year who could be a DT (Maccagnan would have), or make stupid moves with old players trying to look smart.

Never heard of a GM job coming down to money.  There is a salary range for GMs and I cant see the Jets unwilling to pay in that range....especially if its under a million as this NBA reporter is suggesting...and i'm assuming thats over 3-4 years of the contract...

I don't get this.  The earlier reports were that they neg. how much money to spend on scouting  dept. & i would assume they already agreed to his salary.  Knowing how tight lipped they are about whats going on at jet headquarters; no leaks coming out anywhere, the only way we are going to find out anything is when they announce it.  not time to panic yet.

Does anyone else find the idea that the Jets have two owners with literally an endless well of money in their bank accounts and the team actually has a limited budget for scouting preposterous? Or for anything at all?


Well theres a few possible reasons for this. They probably dont put much personal money into the team unless it needs it. You cant just give a business money. It has to be treated as a loan or income and it doesnt make good business sense. Also just because a team makes a lot of money doesnt mean it is cash rich. The team did just build a new stadium and has had notable trouble selling tickets. They also built the new floram park facility recently. Just because something has value on paper doesnt mean it has great cash flow. This could explain why they have gone the cheap route with everything including players the last several years. Cash flow could be an issue for the team.

What if was reported that the Jets were finalizing some of their scout positions salaries......would you feel different? Apparently Mac got the budget he wanted so why wouldn't Douglas?

I've always wondered why teams don't invest so much more into scouting. Even if at this point you're just paying analysts to scour over video to get relevant material to the actual talent evaluators. How do you get a Hackenburg wrong with so much information and video available for such an investment.

I think you're missing the point.  While investing in scouting is a necessary tool and is of course useful, it is surely not an exact science, and there is no empirical evidence to prove that investing more will lead to better results.

The fact of the matter is .that minor league, college and amateur sports are distinctly different from professional level competition.  Projecting what young prospects will develop into is simply a crapshoot and educated guess.  Misses in drafting and recruiting are rife throughout all professional sports.

That is the nature of the beast, and one of the most intriguing and special aspects of sports fandom.

Just my opinion.

Huh? The Jets routinely overspend for crappy players in free agency, they always have dating back to the eighties.
