slimjasi Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Although I understand the temptation, I would have to pass on all 3. We have been so injury plagued (especially at WR) and next year is such a huge year for JD/Saleh/Wilson, that I just don’t think I’d be interested in putting major resources into a guy who is going to miss the first chunk of next season right off the bat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeJet Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 When I tore my ACL when I was 18, it was a clean tear and I was back full participant in baseball(was hurt in football) 6 months later. That was 20 years ago. If it’s a clean ACL tear(no other major damage), there should be little to no concern for regaining top form. For example, I was as slow and non-explosive as I ever was. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Leprechaun Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Not in the first round and only if I already drafted a potential #1 WR who was healthy in the first round or picked up one in FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Absolutely not! This team cannot take chances playing spin the bottle with players who have had major injuries and these are considered major injuries. To be honest, I thought the Jets took a chance with Carl Lawson when we signed him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I 100 % want Godwin. He fits this system like a glove and is a monster at what he does. He'll be worth the wait. I'd still add a more readily available veteran WR plus draft one within the first 3 rounds. Godwin wouldn't be the only prize this offseason at WR.

Dallas can save $16 million$ by unloading Amari Cooper's contract and they have major cap issues. Would explore that opportunity first.

Godwin seems like(to me) a target we’d have a real shot at too. Already won a title, so won’t necessarily be chasing that. Not to say he won’t want to play for a winner, but might not be the end all be all. Wasn’t a high draft pick and has already had a serious injury. Might be looking for the biggest payday. Throw in that he can be at the forefront here after playing 2nd fiddle in Tampa, maybe we’d be a fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 6 hours ago, TheClashFan said: JD needs to nail this draft. He needs at least 3 immediate, impact starters in those first 4 picks (all four would be nice, but allowing for 1 guy to disappoint or get injured). He shouldn't risk a pick on Williams to effectively "redshirt" until the 3rd round, at the earliest. Yes, some other team will probably take him before that. But, a good team can afford to take such a risk. Bad teams like the Jets need more sure things, especially in the first two rounds of a draft, and extra especially b/c JD's 2020 draft is turning out so badly. yup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 If the price is right but if the player has other injury concerns, no— we gotta get away from being the home of the broken toys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 No, not when we are trying to develop a young QB who needs weapons. We need a guy where the expectation is that he will go through the entire offseason program, training camp, pre-season and regular season with the QB. Williams tearing an ACL now is likely to miss the offseason program and best case scenario is still likely to be limited at the start of camp and into the season. Williams would make sense for a team with an established QB and a solid group of veteran WRs where you can afford to bring him along slowly. We are not that team.

Shelbyblue Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 It all depends on the price and prior performance. I would take Williams or Metchie with a 3rd or 4th, neither will contribute next season it would be for the 24 season. Godwin I would not overplay he was good not great and who knows how he will return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to re-sign Hill, but let Hardman go and have a fully healthy Williams replace him for 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted in another thread, only way I could see JD even thinking about it for us would be if we signed a guy like Mike Williams in FA, and also a # 1 TE. Even under those circumstances, can't see it. We just need way too much in other areas. Enjoy your first weekend in 40 years as national Champs.??
