If you want to argue against someone who holds that position, you should go find them. His skill underpins everything and should be obvious. I’m taking about icing here.

This is why I said split the difference between the Jets controlled cost and the Donald contract. You get about $24mil/year($25 max so they can say they got the better end of negotiations) and he is still the highest paid DT not named Donald. That’s more than reasonable. If that is not good enough then he isn’t negotiating in good faith and you take advantage of controlling him for 3 years with no intention of signing long term. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sentiment that was disproven when Revis got paid in 2010. From 2010 to 2020, the Jets drafted exactly one player worth paying: Quinnen Williams. I want him paid. You want him paid. We still disagree on the fundamental aspect of this though. Maybe the "agent perception" thing is just fluff?

It's crazy how the DT market has shifted over a 1-year period or even less. Months ago you had Jets fans scoffing at the idea that QW would ask for or reasonably be able to demand $19-21M per, which at the time would have made him the 4th-highest paid DT behind Donald, Leonard Williams and DeForest Buckner. Now, the minimum you would expect a DT on QW's level to sign for would be a little over $22M per with at least 2/3 of his deal fully guaranteed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Aaron Rodgers at QB this team has a 2- 3 year window to win a SB considering we don't have a QB to step up after Aaron leaves . Lets face it we don't. Who at the DT position has around 2- 3 years left and could be a great addition ? Aaron Donald. I'm not sure what side of the Quinnen deal is holding things up but if Williams wants ridiculous money I say trade him straight up for Aaron Donald a player who is better than Quinnen and has shown his effort has not gone down since signing the big contract. I think the Rams are in a semi rebuild mode so Quinnen would fit them nicely being only 25/26 , while Donald would fit the Jets nicely with our 2-3 year Rodgers Window.

Sperm Edwards Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 1 hour ago, bla bla bla said: Lol we didn't even go after Suh. Orlando Brown Jr would have been awesome to get but there are plenty of reasons not to sign with us other than "lol Jets" He signed with the Bengals to go from one great young QB to another great young QB. He's played for 10-14 win teams with young MVP-level QBs his whole career (once Jackson took over for Flacco in his rookie season). Also after the guaranteed $ runs out, on a good team protecting such an oft-sacked QB he's less likely to be a cap casualty (let alone be a cap casualty as part of a sucky team's next tear-down/tank process). He didn't just take less than the Jets offered him. He took an outright below-market contract by some $5-8MM per year. He just wanted to play there. If the Jets start winning games then more players will do the same for us than just McGovern. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a good young QB now we would: 1. not know if he sucked. See Jordan Love. 2. probably have to pay him real money before we knew if he sucked. See Jordan Love, Kirk Cousins. How many teams have had a QB ready to take over two years in advance? The Montana/Young 49ers and the Favre/Rodgers Packers. That's it. I guess you could say the Mahomes/Smith Chiefs, but the Chiefs knew Smith wasn't all that and were trying to improve. That was more DeBerg/Montana or Elway. Maybe Manning/Luck. Maybe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be going out of your way to avoid it for some reason and seem really defensive about it. I find this odd since you are usually VERY right about things and I’m not sure where this is coming from. You shouldn’t worry about a ball park figure being wrong since you have a great track record of being right about things and this is out of all of our control anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
