Personally, I would have filled in a G with someone like LDT for 1/3 the price, signed Moses for 3x$5mm for depth and given Marcus Williams more money. But I agree that JD can mostly go BPA in the draft, but he needs to walk away with a WR, LB, EDGE (given this draft) and S in rds 1-3. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronx Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Once we become a decent team, we will attract top tier players. I don't buy into the high state taxes as an excuse for not coming here. This is the biggest market where good players can sign lucrative deals outside the NFL. We all should be grateful for these low risks contracts. Hopefully they will translate into wins and help the team earn a decent reputation. I believe that we will attract pro bowlers in the future, but I think JD will continue spending wisely instead of breaking the budget for star players. I am overall satisfied with these moves, but the verdict is still pending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtnelson Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 We complained about holes everywhere on the roster. He is filling those holes with quality starting NFL players. If our defense is better, the offense is better and Zach comes out of 2022 looking like the true future of the franchise, 2023 FA is where we maybe end up with a legit all star in FA. Until then, got to hit on the draft picks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndianaJet Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 They've been telling you, since the departure of Gase, that this was a three year process and it wasn't going to look good initially and they've preached patience. JD is managing the roster magnificently building with the right players for the right prices. The one thing he has yet to do is find that absolute stud in the draft. Hopefully, this year changes that or Zach turns into that. If things go to plan, we will have a solid foundation for years at which point JD can go out and make those splashy FA moves. But the foundation is still being laid...expect improvement this year, but still more pain. 2023 we should be competing for playoff spots, 2024 we will be competing for a ring. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He filled holes, that we had basically practice squad type players - with legitimate NFL talent. Making the team competent everywhere - huge step in the right direction. But hasn't done much to make the team special yet. We don't have any Impact players on the roster right now. Some potential in Moore, Becton and AVT - and the four picks in top 38 that hope to land one or two of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Jets draft OL in the 2nd and 4th round this year (probably OT in the 2nd and IOL in the 4th). They really need good young talent on the OL for depth this year and maybe to start in a year or so. Whoever the swing tackle is might have to start some games....unless Becton can suddenly stay healthy for a whole season. I agree that the 1st round will likely be Edge and WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92ShaunEllis92 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 HOWIE ROSEMANFO, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Eagles signed GM Howie Roseman to a three-year extension through 2025. Roseman had been set to enter the final year of his deal, so this takes him out of lame-duck status. He's been with the Eagles since 2000 and has been the general manager two separate times, from 2010-2014 initially before losing a power struggle with ex-coach Chip Kelly in 2015, and then getting his title back in 2019 while adding executive VP to his name. Roseman has generally performed pretty well at his job. The thing in Philly right now is trying to figure out if Jalen Hurts is the Eagles' long-term quarterback. SOURCE: Philly Voice Mar 17, 2022, 8:56 AM ET Remember the Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Howie Roseman - JD’s last boss. Let’s not start sucking each others dïçkš JUUUUST YET, ok? These are solid moves by a diligent and meticulous GM who is acquiring young veterans on the ascend while making short-term conservative contracts that don’t compromise the long-term future of the salary cap. He’s cleaned the cap hell that he inherited and is restocking the roster with young players who have gotten a load of playing experience in the last 2 seasons. Like every Jets offseason, THIS is the point in time we’re most excited. The jury is still out on his choice of HC, IMO, but all other facets seem to be running smoothly under his watch. JD got a 6th rounder for Blake “Glass, not the” Cashman?!?!!??? If The Jets turn that corner to challenge for a Wildcard this year -and they might with these FA vets brought in to bolster the yutes - then JD deserves more years tacked on and get extended going into his 4th year and 3rd offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some potential in Moore, Becton and AVT - and the four picks in top 38 that hope to land one or two of them. But this is a nice step. When you’d make lists of who were real NFL starters and where the holes were it was frustrating. JD has now done what I wanted to see. You couldn’t simply draft your way out of it in 2 seasons. There were way too many holes. The best teams are filled with good starters and a few stars. Some of these additions won’t pan out, but another aggressive off-season like this and 2 good drafts will have completely revamped this team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as much as I am satisfied with what we have done these past few days, I am not going to get excited until I see the product on the field. In September. I have been fooled too many times before. Not going to buy in to writers tweets, or pre-season performance. I need to see it in regular season games. On paper, its been a very good week. Added 5 players all of whom are upgrades over the guys they are replacing. Add a couple of guys coming back healthy from injury, and a couple of starters from the draft, and we would be very much improved. I need to see it on the field first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
