Tyreek Hill on the Block-Jets Involved. This is not a drill

[JOJOTOWNSELL]

Anyone who thinks any athlete would choose to play in NYC over Miami is living in the past.

 

Zero benefit to living in nyc. These guys arent going to theaters and museums

At 70 million guaranteed does the state tax even matter at that point. Miami is a better team and he’s from Florida. 

I'd say 7 million does matter, yes.

I get you.  DUIs, as unbelievably stupid as they are, I’m willing to give some leniency on, as long as nobody else is hurt in the incident.  That being said, my mother was almost killed by a loaded driver, so that leniency is still very hard to earn from me.  That’s pretty much it for me.

There's even levels of DUI that come into the discussion.  On the worst end you have Henry Ruggs, who killed a woman with his sociopathic recklessness.

But most people who drive drunk tend to get in the right hand lane and drive real slow.  And by doing so, they get away with it hundreds of times in their lifetime, maybe never even getting caught or hurting anyone.  Certainly that suggests not all DUIs are the same, even if ALL of them are dangerous, illegal, ill-advised, morally wrong.  And with Uber/Lyft readily available, you can now add lazy to the list these days, too.

Not if he drives up the price for him insanely for Miami.

And thisis exactly hat he did.  Beautiful strategy by Douglas.  And also gets the word around even more around the league that is is not going to overpay in any scenario.

Now, lets get back to the draft and continue the magnificent job Joe D has been doing in building this the right way through the draft.

We suck again

I love everyone on here now "Oh im glad we didnt make this deal".....you're all ridiculous.

For the number of draft picks the fins paid plus the contract it would've been a bad move

Yup.  That’s why it’s still hard to convince me that you shouldn’t be cut and are worth rooting for.

Speaking of which.  Since when do players under contract suddenly get to dictate which team they are traded to?  I'm sure Jets offer was significantly better.

since he was a FA next year. there was no guarantee we resign him. so it would be really stupid for JD to trade for him if he could leave next year and give p 5 draft picks. and he would have left cause he didnt want to be here.

[Skeptable]

Ok go get Claypool or Diontae Johnson...

[playtowinthegame]

This a bad day for the Jets. Another team in the AFC East just got another game changer. Joe Douglas better have an amazing 2022 draft or we are on our way to another 0-6 vs the AFC East.

I believe the highest tax bracket income tax for NJ is 9+% 

 

So on the $70mm - thats an additional $6.3mm 

So yes it matters

I guess. When you’re that rich though it doesn’t make much of a difference in lifestyle. 

[UntouchableCrew]

Just a point on the state income tax -- you pay taxes in every state you play games in. So it's not 10%. I keep seeing people say that and it's much more nuanced than that, even if you do save money playing in FL or TX vs. NJ.

Just stop.  JD made an offer but Tyreek Hill chose Miami.

Literally nobody: We don’t want tyreek hil

Jet fans: happy we didn’t make the deal

This fan base is insane

This one hurts.  

Elite playmaker. Exactly what we need.

I mean the brackets are outrageous but guys as rich as Hill are now…still declare residency in NY. I guess that’s changing though.

Dude - the Dolphins accepted our trade offer. Hill chose Miami. Reported by Schefter. 
 

Are you just trolling or what?

The Fins ACCEPTED our offer too. 

[thebuzzardman]

The one year the Jets could have afforded to a trade like this, they didn't do it. 

Same Ol Jets. 

[Biggs]

I predict the Raiders get the most out of this deal without giving up anything.

I mean, Hill picked Miami. They can't force him to come here.

[kevinc855]

I appreciate JD trying and all but this roster is not keeping up with the rest of the afc…

We really gotta get some more playmakers 

[Jets4Life1979]

Maybe douglas shouldnt have waited for all the free agent WR's to fly off the board

We'll see what the pivot is.  Seattle has been hesitant to trade DK but with all this movement of big time WR's do they make the move now and field offers.  If so we will be firmly in the mix there.

So the basic premise here is the teams paying for proven talent are going about thing’s the wrong way, you need to draft unproven players because cap space 

What are Douglas’ results so far 

W/L ?

drafting ?

Welp, looks like we're down to AB and Beckham. Lol

I'm pretty sure we all know he won't have an amazing draft. He hasn't had one yet.

I had no idea NYC was so boring to kids in their 20's.  I had crazy times there at bars and clubs, let alone the million things to do everywhere.   Oh I get it, football players need south beach art deco architecture to feel like they are partying correctly in their 20's?  OR something?  Other than weather in winter Miami is a dump, like the rest of America's dick, Florida.
