Did it taste good after everyone said Richardson would never bring back a 2 and a WR,  Were as sure as you are about the younger, Leo?

Yes?

I still can’t believe we got a 2nd for Sheldon. Look at the Steelers this year trading a top 10 draft pick for Minkah. They already knew Big Ben was done for be year. There’s always a sucker out there. I just hope we have a shrewd/active GM. 

[RutgersJetFan]

Big fan of this new strategy of drafting players with high picks and then unloading them for mid to late rounders. Really brilliant stuff here. You look at the consistently successful franchises in the NFL and this is something they all clearly engage in.

Exactly.  

Leo still gets pretty good to good press.  I could see a team thinking a change of scenery or a change in scheme, linemates etc would unlock what he was thought to be

I understand your point but we are just cutting our losses because UNLIKE successful franchises, we don’t draft well with top picks at all. That’s the glaring issue. Not unloading jags for mid to late rounders. We have fix the source of the problem which is TERRIBLE drafting. 

[UntouchableCrew]

If we're going to turn this around we're going to do it by Joe Douglas drafting good players, which means we want to get him as many draft picks as possible to work with. If we can get a third or better this is a no brainer.

You're a Jets fan.  This is not new nor brilliant but you knew that already.

If hes the Bell whos a top of the NFL back? 

To play with Sam?

Ugh, yes, we would

Because the opinion that you can just plug and play any RB with a good OL has been proven wrong time and time again?

[Icer]

What's the compensatory pick look like if he signs during FA with another team? Depends on the $, I would assume

Best we could get is a 3rd rounder in that case. Doubt he signs for 3rd rounder money though. Best case we get a 4th.

better to try and trade him first.

Didn't the Steelers' backup RB do very well last year?  Connor I think was his name.

Is that the same rb who hasn't topped 56 yards rushing this year

He’s probably worth a 3rd or 4th so if you can get someone big eyed and desperate enough...

Per Adam Schefter, the price for Williams would be in a similar range or even higher than other deals we’ve seen in the last two years for other defenders.

For example, the Houston Texans traded former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks for a third-round draft choice, Barkevious Mingo and Jacob Martin.

The other example from 2018 was the Jacksonville Jaguars sent pass rusher Dante Fowler Jr. to the Los Angeles Rams for third and fifth-round draft picks.

Schefter is reporting that the Jets can get at least that and probably even more stemming from a possible bidding war.

 

Not sure who this Schefter is but JN intelligentsia has told me that we should take a 4th and run.

Why would you take anything less when they can get a 3rd round comp pick for letting him walk. 

Because we have to turn over a lot of the roster, meaning we might be buyers in free agency.  That would negate the 3rd round compensatory pick we MIGHT get in 2021.

That's no guarantee. And at best, it would be something like the last pick in the third round in 2021 vs. a higher third round pick in 2020. A third would definitely be on the table. 

I don't think so..  but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

What do you suggest they do with him?  Re-sign?

Joe Douglas didn't draft Leonard Williams.  I'd like to fire Macc again if we could.  

[GreenFish]

not sure this will help as much as Gase and GW saying it, but Leo is playing great. Now trade him for the best offer.

[Beerfish]

We are not getting any comp picks most likely so forget that.  If we are dumping price vets and adding to the cap so we can spend we will not get comp picks unless the team carries over a lot of cap space.

At least Richardson flashed before. Leo is GARBAGE! A team will be idiotic to give up a 2nd for him.

This is a good point. Have to figure Joe Douglas will be more of a buyer than seller in next year's free agent market.

Get rid of the fat now, get ducks in a row and build his team. I am looking forward to what he will do we have been waiting for a long time.

[BroadwayJoe12]

Age is on our side. Production not so much. Need Williams to keep pumping that doing-the-dirty-work angle and maybe we can see a 2nd, or 3rd and late-rounder.

Don't fall into the trap of loss aversion. We don't want to compound our mistake by trying to remediate it when it can't be.

The Seahawks gave up a 2nd and a player for Sheldon..

[Creepy Lurker]

I hope he has a fluke big game today which can propel his *ss out of here. 

[bostonmajet]

If we let him walk, we get a 3rd (unless we are active in FA) a year later; so, I would expect we won't trade him unless we get at least a 3rd. There may be other teams who care about more than just stats.... I never thought we would get a 2nd for Sheldon - here is hoping...

[freestater]

Jump for joy at a 3rd. For a guy we're not resigning anyway.
