I think Davis will start at MLB and Moseley will get traded during or post draft for a 7th round conditional pick. He really doesn't fit the system as an off the ball linebacker and he's been away 2 years. I think the Jets will cut their losses and move on at this point since JD didn't sign him. It would free up an additional $1.5 million this year and $13 million in 2022.

No one's taking on that contract for a guy who hasn't played in 2 years.

Disagree. Moseley fits just fine. He's an all-pro linebacker, arguably our most accomplished defensive player. No reason to assume he is anything but eager to come back, under 30, never missed a snap until his flukey injury. Jets would be crazy to dump him in a fit of mean spiritedness. If he sucks and can't play anymore that's different, but we won't know that from training camp. Could be like adding another first rounder to our defense.

It has nothing to do with "mean spiritedness". He's coming off a serious injury to his groin and has been away 2 years. He's never played in this style of defense and was never the quickest guy at his position to begin with. Plus, the Jets have been trying to shed older, he'll be 29, expensive veterans since JD got here. There is a difference of $8 million in savings if they trade him now or wait to cut him after the season. It's a huge financial risk that I don't think JD is going to take on a guy who has been away 2 years and coming off a serious injury. It's not personal.

If JD wont take the financial risk then who will?

He's staying because he's untradeable.

He's got 2 years left with any guaranteed money. $6 million cap hit if traded in 2021 and only $8 million guaranteed next year. He can be cut after that with no dead money. The Rams, Packers,  Giants and Broncos all still need an ILB. As long as his medical check out I can see him being traded. There's not a ton of financial risk for the team trading for him.

Teams that are ready to win and can take a financial risk on a veteran player. The Jets are not near ready to win and the risk for them financially makes zero sense.

Good schematic article.  I'm sure Saleh/Ulbrich will have wrinkles, but based
on the player responsibilities the CB's won't be as "stressed" as in a man to
man defense.  Therefore we may not be looking for a CB that early:

This is why I've had my eye on guys like Trill Williams, Paulson Adebo, Benjamin St. Juste rather then the top tier guys. This is great news for us as we should be able to draft o-line with our higher picks.

I agree. Also it seems most use the SS to come down for extra run support if needed. I dont see anyone on the roster who could really do that the way Chancelor and Neal did. Also OLB seems to be a weakness. I could see a tweener SS/OLB or two picked this draft.
