JD Felt the Heat

[kevinc855]

What a very unlike JD trade deadline for JD. Trader Joe was gun shy, only making a small move at RG. 

Keeps Maye, Mimms, Crowder and Cole. 

My take, 1-5, wasn't sitting well, the media exploded. Then, we beat the Bengals. This team wants to keep winning. 

JD knew keeping guys like Crowder or Maye help them win THIS YEAR over a 4th or 5th next year. Quite the adjustment in strategy. 

Wonder if Saleh lobbied him. Very unlike JD last 24.

I think culture is more important than a 4th or 5th round pick when we already have 9 draft picks.

Plus we have the off chance at getting some comp picks depending on how JD approaches his FA signings. Players who are cut don't factor against us in the formula. We will have about $44m to spend in FA (per OTC)

Joe Douglas did exactly what he should have.  He would have moved some guys but not for 4th and 5th round picks.  He set the value for Maye and Crowder and no team offered what they were worth.

Smart move for Joe D to stand pat.  Its all about setting a precedent of who you are as a gm and Joe has finalized that he only does business at his price.

That will pay off big time down the road and its exactly why he has already robbed other teams big time on trades.

Thank you Joe Douglas!  Thank you!!

I think he wants to win too. He held out for higher draft picks otherwise he already has enough capital for this year.

Thank you Mike White . Thank you, 

[JoJoTownsell1]

I just think JD won't just give away good players.  If the price was right he would have traded each of those guys. 

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Actually for JD like. Smart and methodical. Thank you Joe Douglas, thank you!

I think his approach was right this time. Just a change for him in strategy it seems 

[Jetscode1]

The Johnson family needs to extend/re-sign Joe D to a new contract pronto.  Dude earned a raise.

Because of all of his previously tremendous trade deadline moves?

Saying that Saleh lobbied his GM to keep playmakers isn't a conspiracy theory....its called reality actually.

Sincere apologies.

your right he was feeling the heat after that NE game. but i think the pressure came from above. when the media is waiting for Woody outside a NFL meeting is not a good sign.

i am a little shocked he didnt dump Crowder just to open a spot for Moore or Mims. we need to see what they got before next year.

i think the Bengal game got this team excited. there thinking there not such a bad team. and if  we had a little bit better QB play this year we beat Carolina and Atlanta.

GVR actually had a better week. Do I trust him going forward? No. Gotta give credit where its due, JD took a shot at upgrading the position.

More like teams probably tried to low ball JD for Crowder or Maye and wanted us to pick up the tab for the rest of the year. Eff that. Maybe he now he tags Maye next year.

Forget it, man.  Too many on the board who are suckling at JD's swollen teat.  They keep getting fed sh*t.  But just keep asking for bigger spoons.

[BigRy56]

I don't think he felt the heat at all... I think this is his vision. He tore the team apart over the last 2 years and started putting together his base in his first 2 drafts. He's got his pieces in place and I think the next 2 offseasons, and next on in particular, are going to be about adding to the team. 

The time for selling is over - we almost don't have anything to sell anymore. I wouldn't be surprised to see us make a move like the Bills made in trading for Diggs

Technically It's 4D chess, not 3D. 3D is normal chess that we always play. Everyone tends to forget the 4th dimension always exists in our world.

I think you've over dramatized the situation. He made very logical moves. Shore up oline, keep weapons to help both young QBs. Not sure there's more than that here...

Thank you Joe Douglas!  Thank you!!

His trade was good, we needed a prospect at RG since we have to upgrade GVR, and then addition by subtraction getting rid of TE Brown who wasn't doing much for us and now hopefully this opens up the final TE slot for Kenny Y. to get him more time/experience. Those 2 areas of RG and TE is where we needed some movement and we got that based on what occurred as I stated. In keeping Maye we didn't cause us to have a serious problem at safety. And, keeping WRs Crowder and Mims were no brainers since we need all the weapons on O we can get regardless of who plays QB. Whatever we would have gotten for Crowder or Maye was not worth losing us for now in this season to help us to continue to progress. As was mentioned maybe we get comp picks when they leave or even have possible sign and trade deals to get something since we likely are to lose both unless the Jets and Maye come to some sort of an agreement. Crowder there are just too many slot WRs already in our future and Moore is getting better and more valuable each week so we have to keep giving him a lot of playing time.
