Lith Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 3 minutes ago, docdhc said: I missed the 21M 3 years. We have to be out of cap space The deal is probably structured so the hit is only $4M - $5M. Cut Griffin and we save $3M, and since only top 51 salaries count against the offseason cap, another guy drops out of the calculation. This deal may not have much of an impact on the cap at all, if Griffin is cut loose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Conky's deal is really another classic Joe Douglas 2 year deal. So I dont think signing Uzhoma or Conky will have any bearing if the Jets really like McBride. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmhertz Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I'm a numbers guy, the first thing I do when the Jets sign a player is look at his metrics. Conk has nice #s in terms of explosion 38'' vert, 10' LJ and agilities 4.23 shuttle and 7.13 cones 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Ruckert? Amazingly, this is suddenly a somewhat crowded position on the depth chart. 2 legit starters signed in Uzomah and Conklin. 1 “hold the fort“ guy still under contract in Griffin. 2 developmental guys in Yeboah and Cager. This signing is a tiny bit surprising only in that TE seems to be relatively deep in this Draft. With our picks I thought getting one of the top two or three guys in the Draft might be a smart idea. Younger, cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Many of us thought the double dip at TE would be in the draft. It turned out it was during free agency. A bit surprising to me but what do I know? Glad that a major deficiency has now been turned into what is probably a slightly above average group. I’m really starting to think about the implications for our draft. I think some folks will like it, some may not. Put it this way, WR is still wide open. Likely a big draft target. But also, to this point, we haven’t done anything in the front 7 except say goodbye to Kyle Phillips, Foley, Cashman, etc. We resigned Nathan Shepardson. What does that tell you? Do with this information what you will! My guess…. DL and LB incoming!!!! #NFLDraft 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD has not been a GM here all that long, but he is on his second quarterback and second HC. He needs to understand these guys well and then mold the team around them. Imagine if he had gone big in 2020 thinking that Darnold and Gase were entrenched! He has obviously been accumulating draft capital and Cap space for the point in time when he understands the direction he needs to take. Saleh and Wilson aren’t going anywhere soon. Even if they simply tread water, they are here through the end of 2023. That means the purging is over and the acquisition is beginning. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBeardedSavage Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 After free agency, and with no great receiver in this class... get on board for the most the NYJ thing you've ever seen in round 1. + And it might actually be the right thing to do this time? As opposed to, you know, the last decade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 54 minutes ago, football guy said: Probably. It's also possible the Jets draft only 1 TE and keep one of Bawden or Wesco, but people close to the organization have been saying they've been looking for an TE/HB hybrid to serve the "Kyle Jusczcyk" role for a while now. They wanted him in FA, then they targeted Tommy Tremble, now this. Agents thought it would be Ricard because his agents have been saying he's going to be more of a TE/HB and sign with a team who would use him in such way, but I think everyone overlooked Conklin, who was a TE/HB/FB for the Vikings when they ran the Shanahan offense.

fullblast Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Feel like TE is still very much on the table for day 2 or 3, but now they won't feel as pressured to take one. And whoever they do draft won't need to contribute immediately, which is usually a lot to ask of a rookie TE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genot Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 This signing tells me. Our 2nd rd pick will be a tackle. Moses signs for 5 mill a year. To let him go at that price tells me, he had his eye on someone early on in the draft.

I see Joe doing what he did last year. Take one of our 2nd round picks (just one and some other later picks) to move back into later 1st round for a quality player that slips. I love JD man!!!!
