Popular Post JohnnyLV Posted August 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2021 We are #2 on the waiver wire. There is no doubt there will be a lot of names as well as terrific prospects that teams will release some time next Saturday. With the #2 waiver wire position we will be able to get almost anyone we want out of the waived players. WE can certainly upgrade TE, OG, get some developmental players that upgrade the back end ofour roster, etc... With 500 players being released it is almost like a 2nd chance draft for us. It is a pretty powerful tool for us to add more talent to this roster. With 500 players being released there is almost certainty that there will be a good number of legitimate starters released.

joewilly12 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I mentioned earlier in the week there are 2-5 players who will be added to the roster once the other teams make cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greengeek Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I actually don’t want to be number 2 on the waiver wire next year. Just weird I guess. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethead Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 If opportunity knocks, no question we should take advantage. But, I hope, and bet, we avoid higher floor, low ceiling mid-career vets, even if they might make us better this year. Build for the long haul like it is a second 2020 draft.

Beerfish Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I also see some possible trades. We have accumulated some lower round picks. I'll refuse to believe we cannot upgrade TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJet Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Only players with less than 4 years experience go into the waiver process. Also, we stay at #2 for the first three weeks of the season. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will likely take those few players that are other teams draft picks that could not make their teams due to having good depth at certain positions. Or it could be some 2nd-3rd year players or even some UDFAs we like better than the teams that release them. Not sure we will take too many vets other than maybe someone at Edge if we don't make a trade there, someone like Vic Beasley maybe a player that is a bit of a vet we would bring in though he is already a FA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to improve all parts of your roster including the bottom end and developmental guys so it is a dereliction of duty to not look closely at bottom of the roster players that might turn into something. The jets were the 2nd worst team in the league last year for a numb er of reasons. no one is going to convince me we can;t upgrade our 2nd or 3rd TE with some other teams cast off or trade for one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets Voice of Reason Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 It’s kind of like a smaller version of a draft. Wish there was a name you could call something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecuadorian Jet Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I get the point of not getting excited about players that did not make their original team, but we also need lots of help at offensive line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, those are exactly the guys you're looking for. Hate to break it to you, but the only first and second rounders early in their career getting cut are the so-so mid level or worse guys. I'd love to be wrong. However, solid mid career vets, are good glue guys for a couple years. As drafts come and go you can replace them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your expectation is instead "backup OG who can play for a game or two and not get Zach Adrien Clarked", that seems much more reasonable. I think we have 6 OL who I'm not terrified of. Getting even one more would be *very* nice... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
