Jetster Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Provided this guy is 100% healthy when camp starts, could he return a 3rd rounder? His salary is only 6.5 Million which is very reasonable for a starter & from what I've seen watching the NFL there are a lot bad defenses out there. I could see JD dangling him to see what he could bring. If nothing transpires you keep him & have a good deep LB core with CJ back & all of the guys who got experience with all of the injuries we had. Sucks that our offense needs so much help because this defense is as close to dominant as you can get with a pass rusher & CB. Just amazing how Macc never moved around in the draft to target any needs. That's one thing I'll give Tannenbaum credit for, sure he had misses but he had somewhat of a clue. Macc just seemed like he picked guys regardless of our needs. How much better off would we be going into this coming draft with Josh Allen instead of QW? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 It’s extremely unfortunate that Mosley and Williamson couldn’t be on the field together. That would’ve been a very good linebacker duo. Unfortunately, Gase had Williamson playing deep in a meaningless preseason game. Personally, I’d bring him back and focus on re-signing Jenkins. I’d also sign a CB and a pass rusher. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sperm Edwards Posted January 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2020 No one is trading anywhere near a 3rd round pick for him. He hasn’t seen the field yet since a bad injury, so it’s no sure thing that specifically for all of 2020 he’ll already be as good as 2018/prior, and just as significantly he only has that one year left on his contract anyway. He isn’t getting traded and isn’t taking a pay cut. He’s a Jet in 2020 or he’s getting cut to clear cap space. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I don’t think we can get a 3rd for him. Best case is we get a 2021 day 3 pick. Likely we are just going to cut him. Henry Anderson is another player I’d try and get something for. Won’t be much either but we still have a logjam and iDL despite trading Leo.

Good player who got hurt at a bad time We would have to resign Hewitt and he has proven to be a solid starter, so we would have to sign him to starter money. With that, we may not save much by cutting Williamson (2 mil maybe?). If we can trade him, I say do it, but unless that 2 mil helps sign someone else (Robby?) I am not sure how much sense it makes to cut him. As I said, we won’t be paying Hewitt what we paid him this year. At first I thought cutting him was a no brainer but the most recent JN podcast made this point and it kind of makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Cowbell Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Right now we don't know what we have at ILB in either CJ or Avery so until you get an answer on that, you have to stand pat. Best case scenario is Avery and CJ come back healthy next season and we have two dynamic players at ILB, worst case, niether can play to the level they had. In any case, nobody is going to give us anything resembling value in a trade if Avery can come back the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is why he was playing late in a preseason game. To add stability and practice making the play calls. As I understand it, that was the explanation for the D falling apart when Mosley went down against Buffalo week 1. Mosley and Williamson were the #1 and backup to make the calls. #3 had less than a week on the job and even the other vets hadn't had much time in Gregg Williams system 18 minutes ago, kdels62 said: I don’t think people are scared of ACL injuries anymore.

Being scared of returning at all, or being scared of eventually returning to prior form, isn't the same as betting on it in year 1 returning and making a trade to bet on it in March/April after a mid-August injury. Oh yeah, and then as a further deterrent to doing so, he's a UFA after just 1 season. I'd be very surprised if he fetches a 3rd rounder.

They've been linked to Derrick Brown a lot as their run defense was awful. Could go Simmon instead and deal with DT later. In any case, they have to be looking at options in FA but there are actually some good UFAs at ILB this year so I'm not holding my breath on moving Williamson anyway.

Leo was 100% healthy, has a recent #6 overall pedigree, and despite our disappointment plays a much higher-valued position. Not the same. There could be some eye-of-beholder people (including at least one on the Giants) who think he's ready to finally take that big leap forward as he enters his prime, and fully realize his initial hoopla. Is there a GM anywhere who believes Williamson is about to explode better than ever in 2020? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
