BornJetsFan1983 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 10-15? We don't have the roster of studs or a bunch of up and coming draft picks that are about to take the starting roles as Joe is used to from his days, but he is setting the table right now. I love to hear reports that Joe is bargain shopping for guys which I assume will all be upgrades by being actual NFL quality starters... Some are worried hearing these reports - and yes they could be false reports - but I think it is very likely true. This is great news. This team is being run by a GM that knows what he is doing. Think about all the bad drafts we have had (holy sh*t like most of our picks are out of the league) - we need to stock the shelves and this year there is going to be a lot of talent looking for work. Is it crazy to think we could have 10-15 new starters on the team from FA? People forget how bad the line was and then we added NFL quality talent and all of the sudden the line play magically got decent. We need that everywhere . SO JOE by all mean go shopping, we need to picking up 10 plus in starting roles 15 starters book it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shuler82 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I’m thinking 18 free agents. Only 4 starters remain - Q, Becton, Mosley and Maye. Actually we’re trading Becton to Cincinnati after we draft Sewell, so only 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 It’s so hard to say when you’ve got guys line off ball linebackers, nickel corners, running backs, receivers, and fullbacks who will be part time players. I think a lot of little things will be picked up in FA but I’d expect more like 4-6 no doubt starters and a bunch of guys who will walk into smaller roles or be fighting for larger roles with existing players and draft picks.

peebag Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I think someone posted the list of free agents that the Jets had and it was around 18-19 if I recall. That's 30% of the roster (please don't check my math, I'm horrible). so ya, there's gonna be a lot of new starters/roster roles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrebetfan80 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I think 1-2 definite starters (high profile FA), with an additional 2-3 rotational could push for a starting role caliber player and then just a bunch of depth. Again there is only around 28 players under contract on the roster, a lot of FA will be about adding quality depth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Wooty Doo Doo Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Every player as a FA (5-6) should be a starter and in the draft we should get 4 starters Sent from my SM-G996U using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freestater Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 If we land 2 or 3 good quality starters, it will be an improvement from last year. Douglas' glaring weakness has been his FA acquisitions. Ryan Kalil, Van Roten, Perriman. He's handled this part of the job horribly so far. If he can move to "relatively competent" I'll be happily surprised.

heymangold Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Well figure starters are needed at QB, RB, WR, OL, LB, CB, S and K. While all aren’t going to be had through FA, figure about 5-8 will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I think they’ll bring in 2 or 3 starting caliber free agents and then 8-10 jags or depth guys. They should be able to get 4 starters from the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYJ1 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 15 starters is utterly absurd. I want to say JD would be satisfied with adding two starters. It could be more, but 15 is off the reservation crazy. I'm just certain JD will use the draft to build this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDown Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I'm expecting a decent number of free agent signings penciled in as starters. Take a look at last year as an example. McGovern, Fant, Lewis, Van Roten, Gore, Perriman, Desir, Poole, Jenkins. They may not be great starters, but they were starters nonetheless. Take a look at the current players under contract in 2021. Half of them are practice squad level or worse. Douglas has no choice but to sign a bunch of players just to fill out a semi-respectable 53 man roster. This is why they need every draft pick and free agent dollar they have. I don't see Douglas making a bunch of splashy first tier free agent signings. But he's going to be all over second and third tier free agents and cap casualties from other teams. These players are inevitably going to be filling in the starting positions week 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like when the Jets signed Fant and labeled him a LT only to replace with Becton. We might sign a few guys as placeholders... WR, OG or C, RB - That's 3 on offense. LB, DE, CB - That's 3 on defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the Mac days of blowing 100+Mil of cap space in an off season didn't produce 15 starters. I doubt we even come close to signing 15 FA's in TOTAL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
