flgreen 28,526 #71 Posted January 8 6 minutes ago, Gangrene said: You know that May is the deadline for Darnold's fifth year rookie contract (2022) option. Trade or no trade, no NFL franchise on planet earth, including the Jets is picking up Darnold's fifth year option. IMO, this is a major, major issue. I just can't see why the Jets would pass on 2 highly rated QB's with rookie contracts, to keep Darnold in the blind hope that he might improve. Just can't see it. i don't think Darnold is as bad as he played this year, and will improve some. Just think the risk reward for Douglas' future isn't worth it. IMO it will be a hard sell to any HC candidate who has options. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your 100% correct. But............................. As a fan, with 0 inside info, I'm really nervous. lol With the new incoming HC, 2 POTENTIAL franchise QB's at #2, and Darnold being off a horrible year, it's pretty clear that what happens in the next 4 months is going to control the Jets' future for 5 year's or more. I should probably do myself a favor, and just go fishing. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO it will be a hard sell to any HC candidate who has options. Darnold, if he stays ( a big IF), I imagine will have serious competition in 2021...either a rookie or a veteran. The Jets probably will not pass on the two top qbs after Lawrence in the draft but if they do it's because the Joe Douglas's current roster is absolutely abysmal, and it needs a massive injection of talent. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QB1 1,286 #76 Posted January 8 Yup that may deadline is stupid, defeats the point of the 5th year option. Are we sure it’s correct? It makes no sense ok here it is, the option is only guaranteed for injury “Fifth-year options must be picked up prior to May 3 of the player’s fourth season and are not fully guaranteed until the start of the next year’s league year. Fifth year is guaranteed for injury only. Ryan Shazier’s fifth year falls into this category.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RVAJet815 779 #77 Posted January 8 Would be very happy with Saleh. He's one of the 3 I'm really hoping for (Campbell and Smith are the others). Cmon JD! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlightBoyz 1,143 #78 Posted January 8 Saleh is a very intriguing candidate. Would not be disappointed if he ends up being the Jets HC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnysd 7,202 #82 Posted January 8 5 hours ago, KRL said: Since we played SF this year Saleh had to breakdown Darnold and our offense. If Saleh brings a unique perspective on Darnold as a player and how to improve him he could stand out as a candidate One of the requirements of any head coaching interview is to completely break down the team and offer their plan. You can learn a lot from multiple interviews even with people you have no intention of hiring. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnysd 7,202 #83 Posted January 8 If we hire Saleh I could see him pushing for Sewell and then maybe RB and QB later to try and focus on run heavy offense. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BloodGreen 204 #85 Posted January 8 You also liked Adam Gase, so maybe I’ll change my stance on Saleh. Also, what makes Glenn attractive?Purely a gut feeling thing, but I like Glenn and have reservations about Saleh. No reasons behind it, beyond a feeling.

Well since SF is 3 hrs behind I would guess the interview did not start before 10 eastern, 7 SF time. It was done before 1:30 eastern To me, that’s not a long time for an interview for a regular job, never mind a NFL head coach 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
