He gets tripled, chipped and they are constantly holding him without any calls. It's a miracle he even sniffs the QB or the RB. We are damn lucky to have that Leo beast. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Best DL on the team - Mac kept wasting first round picks trying to replace him - JD gets it done and will hopefully use the first round pick on Offense or at least a player who will impact the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Well respected and leader in the locker room, prob one of the hardest workers too. Also Quinnen was attached to him all camp. Sends a good message to the locker room extending guys like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 The one DL they have invested the least in by an overwhelming margin, yet still the best of them all. The extension is very well deserved, but man does it shine an even brighter light on the years of unmatched incompetence of (attempting) to address the DL. Hopefully this is the first (of many) indicators that Douglas knows far better than to continue such a ridiculous trend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't know that until he pass on the "Best Player in the Draft" to take a player in a position that can actually have an impact on the game. I'll be holding my breath until then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsjets Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Great signing for a really good dude! Always positive always doing and saying the right thing. An older guy who is always out working the younger guys in camp. Leads by example 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 This totally screams see ya later Leo. Jets don't want to be scrumming around in 2020 to fill this spot when they use all their assets to build the Oline & get Sam some weapons. You know what makes a difference more than Leonard Williams? Jets offensive players spiking the ball in the endzone, not Leo playing paddy cakes down 2 touchdowns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelScott Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Am I the only one wondering why the hell this was something that needed to be done now? We talkin about a 33 year old DT on the edge of retirement. Personally, I'd look to lock up Robby on a 3 or 4 year deal while he's been playing with a 3rd string QB and looks like sh*t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Robby be looking to make a deal under those same circumstances? He could likely get the same as the Jets are offering in free agency and pick his situation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I was thinking if they deal someone who has guaranteed money, they take a slight cap hit because the bonuses, etc get charged to the Jets. Maybe this is a precursor to something while rewarding a really good player with a reasonable contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Werblin Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Wow a front office that recognizes s players value so they extend him during the season and appreciating his age they make it a 1 year deal. Huh? Based on the the jets previous GMs I thought the correct strategy was to let his contract expire and then overpay the player both in dollars and years or let him walk and sign with another team. What a bold new way of thinking by Joe Douglas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bold new way of thinking by Joe Douglas. Normally I’m against signing older players but he is the real leader of the lockeroom (take a seat Jamal). Plus I’m sure he didn’t cost much due to age and this is his last year in the league. Why would he want to move to a new city for 1 year? It benefited both parties. The added bones is that tub if sh*t Leo will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because fans don't understand that most players don't like leaving and starting over somewhere else under most situations. Picking a different situation doesn't always work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe Joe is talking to Robby's agent, this shows he is paying attention and other reasons to do this now; One less thing to consider when the FA frenzy starts Keep retirement out of the thought process, Maybe even an example for QW, Leo had Mo as his example...
