Spoot-Face 25,336 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just by reading the last page I'm gonna take a wild guess and say there's more nail biting, soiled panties, and general freaking out in this thread than in the covid 19 pandemic thread.

I'd be calling the Cowboys and Raiders and try to pry a 1st and 3rd rounder from them. It's apparent that JD intends to fix the Jets through the draft so he's going to need all the picks he can get. Yeah, that’s the way to get potential value for a guy if you think you want to move him. Call a team and ask what you’d give us for him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep Keep in mind that Douglas has a very lucrative 6 year contract. He doesn't need a "win now" team. He has at least 3 more years 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I think that's garbage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let Douglas go to work and you’ll tell early on if he’s good or not based on his moves and specifically draft style. FA is never good unless we get value guys. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can we stop with the Cowboys trade? They can't even figure a way to re sign Dak and Amari to contracts with their cap situation, and they had to let Byron Jones loose for nothing. Do you really think they can give up a 1st and more to get Adams AND give him a new contract? I swear, it's like you guys never stop and think about the other team before you throw out these stupid proposals. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if that was the last time big money was spent on the OL in FA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remember when we signed Jumbo Elliot and David Williams in the same year along with Odonnell. Great times.

It's okay not to spend huge money on these guys, so long as he does something. It's day one. This team isn't a high priced RT or G away from competence. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, I started to include him, but then imagined my notifications lighting up to tell me how good he is but he got hurt and then saying something like, "if it were his contract year, he'd have found his way back on the field" and then they'd say, 'what are you a doctor, you don't know how hurt he was' and then I'd say, 'you probably said something like that about John Abraham, right,' and they'd be all like, nuh uh, and I'd say, uh huh and then some hot chick would dance up on me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he'd rather draft a Cesar Ruiz in the second instead of paying a rotational player like Glasgow 11 mil per. I know I would. If a guy like Conklin was so special why did his drafting team decline the 5th year option?
