Did Connor Hughes tweet that the Jets will be first in line if Lamar Jackson is made available?

Lamar plus huge contract 

OR

Derek Carr Plus lesser contract 
2023 first rounder 
2023 second rounder
2024 first rounder

Lamar Jackson isn't playing here under MLF.. He's not the type of QB that will thrive in this system. Now another OC, and you've got yourself a conversation.

I doubt LJ would do very well in MLF's offense, but coordinators can change. Injury is also a worry, as it is with Jimmy G.

Honestly Carr and maybe Minshew seem like the only viable options next season.

If JD loves LJ, why did he pass on Fields? 

They're almost the same player except Fields is the better passer with, imo a higher ceiling.

Someone else mentioned that earlier, and I have no idea.

My uneducated guess would be he thought Zach was the much better player?

So does Jimmy G.  So does Mike White.  Carr doesn't but he kinda sucks.

Lamar Jackson gives us MVP-caliber upside at the QB position.  If we're gonna pin our hopes on one of 4 veteran QBs, Lamar is the top guy.  Damn the torpedoes.  

Of course the Jets should just listen to @jgb and I and go with Minshew and White and rack up Lombari's as a result, but ala, no one listens.  

Sick of the “draft a guy then completely go all in on him without a viable plan B before seeing him take a snap” strategy.

QBs are the hardest position in sport to scout but too many GMs believe they are special and don’t need to hedge against misses. Like gamblers who cash out their 401ks and head to Vegas convinced the odds don’t apply to them.

Should’ve gotten Tannehill to hedge Darnold going into his 2nd year and Minshew to hedge BYU last year. Both were cheap and brought in as backups to hedge young QBs on smarter teams.

The Jets would basically create a new offense for LJ.

There would not be coaching issues, because there would be a new coach and less coaching.  Street ball. 

if we are going to get a new offensive coaching staff there will be more options than just Lamar. I like Lamar, but why spend the $ and the draft capital to get him where the next tier down will be more affordable without draft capital - see how well Eagles and SF are doing without a top tier QB. Plus there are injury concerns with Lamar as he Is just a beast and never slides

...agreed to a five-year contract extension worth $100 million.

Posted in this thread for Lamar implications, but also, didn't they just sign Marcus Williams last year - big money for a safety and a linebacker, really?

F*ck it...we have the TEs, we have the RB, we have the DEF. His play style will help make up for some of the OL woes. Trust Douglas to hit on his picks outside round 1. By the time Lamar's money is up is when we'll have to pay the rest of the team.

Can you win with him...idk

It will be fun.

I think the money issue is huge. He’s gonna want north of 40 million and that’s a lot in anyones book. The timing is important because the jets young starts won’t be wanting theirs for maybe two more seasons.  I wouldn’t be surprised seeing one or more hold out for a new contract, especially if they stay at the top of their game or improve.

It would be quite the fight to the front of the line

Why is everyone here so sure it’s Baltimore that’s calling this shot? Has it ever occured to anyone that it might be the player who is unhappy?

This is negotiations 101

 

Ravens will eventually resign Lamar

Ravens are going to resign Jackson at big money but the contract will have an escape clause where they can cut him after 3 years at minimal cap hit
