Conklin to the Browns


Recommended Posts

If the Jets want to build a strong offensive line and protect their QB they are going to have to overpay some players in order to do it. That's the price you pay for not drafting well. They need to overpay for a guy like Glasgow. They've got to be aggressive. You aren't going to build a great O-Line by finding bargain players in all 5 spots.

This sucks. That's a very reasonable contract when you aren't paying big money for your QB yet. He would have been a great addition to this team. 

I'm so tired every off season of watching the best offensive lineman and pass rushers sign elsewhere and then hear the Jets beat writers talk about how "the Jets didn't want to go into that price range." as if the Jets are this team with a surplus of talent instead of being a team in dire need of it. 

id be much happier with vai tai. He will be cheaper, can play both slots, and is a much better pass blocker. It would've been a mistake to pay someone who required help on most snaps. And it would've limited whoever we draft to playing only on the left side. Addition by skipping

That's what I'm thinking honestly 

It makes sense. They literally have two legit WR's, just added a legit TE to the offense, two legit RB's, a legit pass rusher on rookie deal and their QB on a rookie deal. 

The worst part of the Browns is that Oline, acquiring all of that talent only to ignore the Oline would warrant firing Stefanski and Berry the moment they decide to go in another direction. That Oline was terrible under Freddie Bathrooms.

For weeks now Jets fans have been hearing that their team was prepared to offer a massive deal to free agent right tackle Jack Conklin, and now we know that whatever that offer was, it wasn’t enough.

Conklin has agreed to terms with the Cleveland Browns, leaving the Jets looking elsewhere for help on the O-line.

The post Jets Lose out on Conklin appeared first on JetNation.com (NY Jets Blog & Forum).

14 million per is a long way from the 18 million he was being projected to get.  you gotta wonder where the jets offer was.

Not enough unfortunately. Hopefully they're not acting like the what I hear from fans and coveting the money more than the talent that the money should be spent on. 

What good is saving the money if Sam Darnold is getting killed in Metlife? 

 

The fact that Conklin was signed for that amount of money IN FREE AGENCY has me alittle concerned, unless it was a situation where Conklin just said "no" to us.

Conklin was a top ten tackle last year. Vaitai played well when he came in for the Eagles last season but he's started 4 regular season games the last 2 years.
