I’m all for it, but someone should remind him he still has to field a team this fall. If he thinks the all rookie oline team is going to keep Sam upright - then fck him. He needs to be able to juggle long term plans with short term needs. enough of these one dimensional morons 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really love to have the top end o-line guys but getting some value guys to provide depth behind (hopefully) high draft picks to shore up protection.

May not be the top line guys everyone is clamoring for but i would almost guarantee that we sign at least 2 veteran players to line up and play.

It is possible that Conklin wanted to go to Browns rather than Jets too and would only consider Jets if they massively overpayed (a la CJ Mosley), which JD may not have been willing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettyBoop Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm fine with Douglas having a not-to-exceed number for each FA and not budging past that. I hope this means a deal with Glasgow is imminent. After that, I suspect or hope Vaitai and maybe McGovern could be signed and possibly Beachum re-signed.

I'm not saying I want the Jets to get Jeffrey. I just see JD exploring that route cause of his ties with the Eagles.

Untouchable Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 No reason to not close a deal with Glasgow at this point.
