Prudent signings, when is the last time we said that? Oline & CB bodies without breaking the bank or handing out any long term contracts. Setting up a competitive system of best players play. Kept just enough guys that know the system, others who benefit from the system & is still adding special teamers. I think what your also seeing is that JD is a great recruiter which we needed so badly. He's the Anti Macc. Can u imagine the discussions Douglas has had talking X & Os with these lineman? This isn't a WHO THE F*CK knows what we run GM. Come here & you'll get a CHANCE to compete & EARN a contract. And JD has proven that, resigning Lewis, Hewitt, Maulet, Griffin, Brown, 5 guys that clearly busted their tails for the Jets last year. Draft can't come fast enough for me. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he doesnt have to reach for OL help while a top WR is sitting at a draft slot How would you feel if we took the Florida CB at #11? I don’t know anything about him but 3 NFL Network mocks last week had him coming here, so I’ll assume he’s an elite prospect. Using that high of a pick on a WR scares me, and there will be plenty of them available later. Same with OL. Looking at our depth chart, I think I’d be okay with going CB there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how he bounced back when we got some semblance of stability with the Oline to end the season. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post dude. one of the big fears going into this FA period was who was going to make this place attractive to FA's or recruit them? Also that we would have to pay the "Jets Tax" and overpay guys just to consider coming to this abyss. That seemingly has not been an issue. We even have a somewhat larger haul than usual this early in the game. The knock is that we did not land the bigger named FA's such as Conklin, but from what I read that was purely $ over not wanting to come here. Going to Cleveland can't be much are attractive if at all even with the dream team they've compiled over there. JD just wasn't budging on his perceived value of a player/position. I think you are right to say that JD probably got into quite a bit of X's and o's with these guys and that has to be cool to do. Most Gm's weren't players so that's a wrinkle we now have going on. If the plan starts to pay dividends and we begin to win some games that will play nicely into what JD brings to the table. Times just may be a changin' Now this Gase character... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I'd take Henderson at 11 before this signing 14. I like his potential to change our pass D, which damn he numbers I didn't ever trust a year ago. Keeping games closer and the offense from constantly playing catchup will take tons of pressure off of Sam and the passing game. Helps Sam and the running game Desir, Henderson with Blessed in the dime sounds good to me JD has left a lot of options available to him at 11 with the FA signings addressing more than a few spots 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you factor in Adams and Maye this is a very solid secondary. In fact. Bless in year 2 could potentially be the best of the CB group. Bless got thrown into the fire with no camp practice too. Hard enough being a rookie, let alone coming out of college injured. I think he's going to be Maccs needle in a haystack, pin the tail on the CB, absolutely shot in the dark luck his ass off draft pick. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncjetman Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Coming off a pretty crappy year. He was good the year before in 2018. I would have preferred Amukamara. Douglas clearly has a plan and is looking for some cheaper FA's he can plug holes with on reasonable contracts while he builds a core group of players through the draft.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlaw Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 That’s a great value contract. Odds are he’ll play better than trumaine for a fraction of the cost. I think we finally have a gm who gets the point. Build through the draft. Use free agency to plug holes.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking to argue here, but if you basing your hopes on a Rose Bowl 4 years ago, I’ll see your Rose Bowl, and raise you Marriota’s Heisman. Their college days are long over. This is a big year for guys like Darnold, Mayfield and Allen. Three years in, and now it’s time for them to show out.

It says "up to" which means it's got some incentives. I bet the cap number is near $3 million with a chance to go up to $5.5. That extra $2.5 million, if incentives were reached, go on to next years cap. So it's probably near half of what Roberts was getting paid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Unreal, Douglas gets Poole (5 million) and Desir (5.5 million) combined for 2 million less than what Johnson was going to get before being cut 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariota has proven hes not the kind of QB the Heisman gave people hope for. Darnold still is a young QB who hasn't disproved his sophomore season hype. Darnold was the more complete NFL QB prospect without the help of a loaded Oregon team that ran a system to the tee Winning the Heisman has never been an indicator of NFL success. Otherwise Tebow would be an established NFL QB not a low level scrub in the Mets minor league system, hanging on to dear life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
