Popular Post Matt39 Posted April 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2021 It's been well documented that Joe Douglas and Sam Darnold both employ Sexton as their representation. Thoughts on how much influence this could potentially have at 2? Just total gut feeling that the Jets are not locked into a QB at 2 and there's some serious internal (and external push) to keep Darnold. This would obviously be bad and a total conflict of interest...but also worth noting that the two big signings the Jets made this offseason - (Davis and Lawson) are both represented by the same agency as Darnold and Douglas. Maybe we need to connect the dots? 3 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Jimmy was also gase agent This is who really runs the Jets Who do they represent in this draft? If it's Zach wilson that makes a world of sense 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we need to connect the dots? Adam Gase was also represented by the same agency and he is gone. Also, there were plenty of people that Douglas could have hired that he had previous connections with, but he chose Saleh because that is what is best for the team. Douglas will do what is best for the team.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Adoni Beast Posted April 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2021 If anything it will be beneficial to Sam and Sexton to get Sam out of here. Keeping him here, the first 3 & out the whole fan base and media will be out to destroy Sam. You think Sanchez had a rough ending here? You ain’t seen nothing yet. Let him move on and regroup and build his career. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gase agreed to leave though...everyone knew that was too toxic to keep going. He got his last HC pay day and left happy and rich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the jets keep darnold and Wilson becomes a star, darnold will be hated here forever as will douglas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wit Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 3 minutes ago, Integrity28 said: You don’t trade back until you’re in the clock. It’s pretty simple. If the Jets have Wilson head and shoulders above Darnold or fields they won’t trade down. If they want Wilson but there isn’t that much daylight between the QBs they may trade out if BLOWN AWAY by an offer. Just remember what Miami got before considering what that deal (from Carolina or perhaps even the bears) would have to look like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we need to connect the dots? If Sexton had his way, what would be the move here? I’d guess it’d be getting Darnold paid, then traded? I think @football guy posited this at one point—the Jets give Darnold three years at $18 mil per, removing the urgency of the fifth year option at lesser cost, and then giving him the chance to either recover here, or go somewhere else where the new team doesn’t have to pay him right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Life Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Or maybe we just have a bunch of his clients because hes the top agent in football and represents a ton of players and coaches. I know that’s probably crazy though. Lets go with your take that he’s secretly running the franchise. Jimmy Sexton is a reptilian confirmed 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we need to connect the dots? The dots we as fans and as a team need to connect is that we probably(as long as it doesn't cause any strife like splitting the locker room and hurting the team) is in reality just take Wilson at 2 and keep Darnold. Even getting a draft pick which is day 2 or less for Darnold isn't worth not having one or the other of these QBs be what we need long term. Doesn't matter which, we just nee a very good QB under center. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinc855 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I have been floating this for months....there is no lock at QB at 2. Its to simple, to predicatable, not JD like. I expect to see a last minute trade or shocker pick.... Looking forward to the meltdowns tho 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embrace the Suck Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I would say none. Why do people act like agents are sith lords? They do as they are told not the other way around. They aren't in charge of anything. Joe Douglas will make choices based on his team's wants and needs not his agent's. Unless someone wants to make the case that Sexton is going to drop JD as a client for not taking orders which sounds silly doesn't it since JD will just hire a new agent. Agents are greedy little pigs waiting at the trough to get fed nothing more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Whether you like it or not, Zachapono will be the starter for the NY Jets week 1. For anyone with a pulse, it's frightening. For the Jets, it's business as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
