“Who’s to say Thuney would’ve even decided to come here” is an awful strategy in free agency

That’s not the strategy. I’m making a point that money could’ve been equal and Thuney may have still opted to sign elsewhere. Bottom line was that the Chiefs essentially gave him a 3-year, $49 million fully guaranteed contract. Jets weren’t going there

Since we own Seattle’s picks, do we send one if their picks back to them with Sam in exchange for RW?

Even if the Jets offered the same exact deal KC offered, Thuney would go to KC. Thuney is from the midwest, the Chiefs are a SB contender and the cost of living in KC is cheap compared to NJ.

I mean, he was a Patriot. It’s feasible he wouldn’t have come to the Jets just because if BB’s influence.

He was getting a good deal or 3 to choose from no matter what.

Add in the fact that the guy has played his whole career with the Pats, goes to the Super Bowl almost every year, and it's really not a tough decision.

That’s fine. But you have to try. Everyone is talking about all things being equal, can we at least get to equal first? 

[HawkeyeJet]

Hypothetically and I completely understand this is a huge IF at this point, but if the Jets can nab one of the top WRs and one of the top Edge remaining, would you still view this FA period as a success?

Get Suh or Tomlinson at nose tackle opposite Q. Then get Lawson and another de .

There is no doubt we suck period.

Plus Sam the interception machine Darnold is still on the books. 

[cookiemonsta911]

There’s still a variety of ways for this free agency to be a success. Still plenty of good players. 

[cookiemonsta911]

CJ Mosley is not a fit for the 4 - 3 , neither is Judon or Bud Dupree.   Lawson is a fit at weakside defensive end.

Are there rumored to be pursuing anyone? I’m just getting off work, anyone want to fill me in on who we may be linked to?

Here you go...

 

 

 

 

[GreekJet]

Trading Mosley would make this off-season 

[Jetlife33]

 

[cookiemonsta911]

Good defense :    zuniga - suh - williams - lawson   

then you can plug in some lbs for cheap.  For corners you can get Jenoris Jenkins and K Williams from the Niners. You can also add Solomon Thomas in the dt rotation.

Yes

And I just said so recently.

Give me, say, Golladay and Hendrickson between tonight and tomorrow and all is basically forgiven.

Provided that we draft an OL within the Top 35 and another developmental guy in the mid rounds.

Don’t do that, and Douglas can eat a bag of dicks and be tossed on the same pile as Macc, Idzik and Bradway. His first draft class sure as hell didn’t dictate to me that we can just collectively say f*ck free agency and we’ll build a super team through the draft.

[Barkus]

Obviously sucks that Jets have not made any good signings on day one but still a lot of good players out there. Great value is found after the frenzy dies down. Still a chance to get players like Carl Lawson, Hendrickson, Samuel, etc.

Agreed.  More than one way to skin a cat(what a weird euphemism).

QB not with standing, I was hoping for 2 strong signings at any position of WR, RB, IOL, Edge and CB.  Still a chance to do that.  Fingers crossed.  I also think the IOL is the easiest position to draft a high quality starter at with our picks, absent of #2 which is reserved for QB.

Reddick doesnt fit the 4 -3 and neither does depree. CJ Mosley doesn't' fir the 4 - 3. 

43 defense need speedy linebackers  for  coverage.  

Most of the players other than Ndakwue are not scheme fits.  We are running the Falcons, Seahawks 43 defense.

[Jetlife33]

It would be understandable for Robert Saleh to bring some familiar troops to New York, and the new Jets head coach has his eye on one of his former secondary pupils.

The former 49ers defensive coordinator appears to be interested in adding K’Waun Williams. The Jets have the veteran slot cornerback on their radar, per SNY’s Ralph Vacchiano (on Twitter). Williams is also interested in rejoining Saleh, Vacchiano adds, though the Jets are not expected to move toward a deal for a bit. That would be a slight risk, given Williams’ status as one of the game’s top slot corners, but Saleh would seem to have a good read on the veteran’s free agency plans.

Saleh and Williams each spent four seasons in San Francisco, with the 49ers signing the ex-Browns slot stopper in 2017. Williams excelled for much of his Bay Area stay, helping Saleh form one of the NFL’s top defenses over the past two seasons. He will turn 30 this offseason.

The Jets used Brian Poole as their slot corner in both years of the ill-fated Adam Gase–Gregg Williams partnership, re-signing Poole last year. But the veteran is now a free agent. With Saleh coming in, Poole may need to head elsewhere to continue his career. Williams and Poole would not seem to fit as teammates.

 

[Jetlife33]

The Jaguars have agreed to sign Carlos Hyde(Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). The former Seahawks running back will get a two-year, $6MM deal.

 

[cookiemonsta911]

Clowney is a fit and Tack Mckinley is a fit as well.

[Maxman]

Are we allowed to say that Clowney isn't good yet? 32 sacks through 7 seasons.

[Jetlife33]

Rayshawn Jenkins is heading to Jacksonville. The veteran safety is signing a four-year deal with the Jaguars, according to ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio (via Twitter).
