The broad strokes of Idziks plan was fine he just couldn’t execute it. If you are going to be frugal in free agency you need to draft well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 There's nothing wrong with having JAGS especially when they're being paid accordingly. With that said he was serviceable enough to earn more. I hope he hits his incentives and cashes in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are getting a re-up we pay slightly more to keep... if your new ... i'll give you a prove it 1-year contract or low ball short term contract. Sets a culture to stay rather then leave... If this is by design, it's a significant shift. Jets have been paying thru the nose for other team's free agents and screwing over their own for this entire millennium. And probably before that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfield Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 This is a great deal for a decent lineman. I was skeptical at first because he is a borderline starter, but at that price, it is definitely worth it. At a minimum he is a very good backup.

KRL Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 To me the deals Douglas gave Lewis and Van Roten indicate that there's going to be a 3 man battle to see who the starting guards will be. Winters (if healthy) will be given a shot to see if he can beat one of them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 We also have to give Winters some props as many of those games he toughen out. Why? No clue. But with 3 serviceable guards he can afford to miss a game or two instead of playing through the injury looking like a total liability.

RevisIsland610 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 JD is doing a great job with the most glaring weakness on this team. Build your Oline and protect your QB. That is the number 1 priority in this off season and that can't be overstated. Every signing doesn't have to be a blockbuster, depth is important. There are plenty of other deficiencies on this roster but they all can't be addressed this year. I'm looking forward to a solid draft also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardTodd27 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Van Rotten was a nice signing. But I hope this doesn't prevent JD from drafting another C/G in rounds 2 or 3. To me, investing mid to early round draft picks on O-linemen should be an annual event. Something Mac never believed in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcoops Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I wonder if Winters could also get a chance to compete at Right Tackle. He was drafted as a Tackle before moving inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can safely assume JD will be drafting at least 2 OL in this draft. The guys he signed were band-aids and he knows that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is, although, putting an awful lot of pressure on himself to nail this draft though. I guess I like that - a lot of self confidence - if he’s not just Gase’s puppet.

Given the philosophy of the Ravens for decades and how the Eagles drafted while Douglas held essentially Assistant GM duties, I think we can make an educated guess that JD is absolutely going to draft 2+ OL.

He was drafted as a Tackle before moving inside. Can’t see him getting any sort of chance here Between re-signing Lewis, bringing in Van Roten and Josh Andrews, currently counting over $6 million against the cap, etc... Winters and Avery Williamson are in almost identical situations at this point. Winters can get lost as far as I’m concerned, but it would’ve been nice to see a healthy Mosley/Williamson tandem. But just getting rid of Winters and Williamson would free up the money to bring in someone like Griffen/Golden to pair with Jenkins on the edge and a vet corner like Amukamara to play opposite Desir on the outside.

NYJ1 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 JD is no different than Mac at least so far. Mac sucked and I'm not sure if (we'll have to see) JD is any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you expect the entire roster to be overhauled in less than a year? It's not JD's fault that the previous GM was a complete moron and left him with a less than stellar roster with major deficiencies at key positions. The guy hasn't even had 1 draft yet. Can we at least give him that? I guarantee you it will be far more productive than the previous hack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
