Personal opinions about them aside…

Does it make sense financially and/or perception wise to get rid of Zach and Becton this offseason?

I know most of us think both will be gone, but I think we’re being unrealistic thinking JD will jettison his first two 1st round picks in the same offseason. I just don’t see that happening.

Don’t shoot the messenger please, just give me your thoughts! 😂

Zach is good as gone. 
 

Becton has had a brutal season. Probably should be gone but I think he could be moved to RT or a backup

[Ron Rico]

I've been told that Becton is not under contract so he is free to go.

Will Becton gain weight post-extension? If so...

 

[Beerfish]

Neither one of them can play.  Douglas still has the cover of 'Rodgers will fix everything' so now is the best time for him to remove them.

Becton's contract is up.  Let him leave and maybe get a comp pic back.

Zach, if you get a mid to late round pick and lose that salary, just do it 

[LIJetsFan]

Becton is a FA and will ask for more than he is worth so he is gone unless JD is a worse GM than I think.  

Zack gets paid whether he is here or not so baring a trading partner he's here. 

Next random thought question?

It will be interesting to see the type of offers Vecton gets this offseason. I’d be surprised if he breaks the bank.

I’m not a fan of his, but if we can bring him back on a short term reasonable deal it might be worth a shot. He wasn’t very good this year, but after two missed seasons he stayed healthy. (I realize that’s a low bar, but it’s a big deal for our OL)

This has seemed to be the board consensus all year.
I agreed for the longest time, but the more I think about it, I just can’t imagine JD giving up both guys he picked first in the draft in one offseason.

He was a better player as an overweight rookie than a supposedly in shape 4 year vet.

Either way, I think he is gone.  Contract is up.  No reason to re-sign him after the way he played this year.

There’s a much better chance Becton is back. I can’t see how he can sell to the  team (and Woody) another year of insurance that Zach is the backup should Rodgers go down. 

I strongly feel they will bring in a veteran like Tyrod Taylor, Jacoby Brissett or Gardner Minshew.

I hate the thought of them coming back, but I’m nowhere near as certain as most here that Zach is going to be gone, and if we aren’t going to get one of the top 2 LTs in this draft, I think they’ll try to make a short term deal with Becton also.

[August]

Both may be gone. But Becton has a better chance of coming back. If Zach is on the team next year he should be the 3rd QB. Becton might be a backup next season too. 

[Larz]

Becton is 100% gone

Becton is a bad player with a sh*t work ethic and just looking for $$. Called it prior to his draft.

 

Zach is essentially a Scarlett Letter/Albatross for the Jets at this point.

 

Both of them need to go for the health of the organization.

Well .. Zach was the best QB on the team this year... so if any of the guys are back it's him.

I can see him getting a pity trade ... Trying to latch on with KC or SF to rekindle his career. Maybe for a 3rd.

You could be correct but I can’t see how he can sell Zach to the team as a viable backup to Rodgers. Also Saleh and JD got a mulligan this season from Woody, they aren’t getting one next season, so I think they get serious about a competent backup QB.

I was never a believer in the “selling a move to the fan base” thing.

You’re still a STH, so you know better than me but I don’t think anybody will give their seats if Becton and Zach are back, do you?

I dunno what will happen with ZW but I am bout 75% sure AR will convince Benton to come back.

Not to the fanbase, I agree with you there. We are like addicts hooked on a team. 
However, I don’t think he can sell it to the team (players) or to Woody. If Rodgers goes down and Zach is the backup and they repeat this season in 2024, both Saleh and JD will be fired. They know they have to bring in a competent backup QB.

The organization doesn’t care. If Woody wants him back again he’ll be back.

No doubt in MY mind either about that. I 100% agree with you there. 
Who knows what the people in charge are thinking though?

I don’t think Woody wants him back, if anyone has been stubborn it was JD because it was his pick.

[Green Ghost]

I’m dying to hear @Matt39’s thoughts on Zach being back or not! 
 

EDIT and as I typed that, he stopped by… 😂

[doitny]

the Zach question is an interesting one.

Zach has a cap hit/ dead cap of 11 million dollars. so he gets that no matter if he stays or is cut its still costs us the same.

after the debackle this year there is no way you can bring him back if you cant find a trade partner. 

if Zach stays you can forget anybody else. Zach makes the most backup money in the league. next is Brissett at 8 mil. Marriota got 5 mil. no way there paying that much for a #2 and #3 QB even though there paying that much whether Zach stays or goes.

feeling aside there is no way Zach can start another game for us. he cant sink another season. its not even a point of them getting fired, its there reps that are on the line if Zach had to start a few games and he sucked and cost us the playoffs. 

Brissett, Mariota... they can cost us the playoffs, but not Zach.

Bad teams getting held held hostage by a player(s) is never good. Rodgers obviously has more leverage than Wilson, but both of these guys have caused more problems/drama than they are worth. I don’t see another team in the league that Wilson would want to go to or vice versa, which is concerning. The Jets (Woody) wants him back as the backup I’m sure.
