The Jets (and Team Wilson) should exhaust every avenue to get *something* for him. Once all avenues are exhausted, then you cut him. I will admit that I have a selfish reason for wanting them to not even bother to find a trade partner and cut him immediately. I'm sure you can guess what that is Is there any cap savings if the Jets wait to cut him after June 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he finds no trade partner, is cut/released, and is not employed in the league in 2024. Some paltry swap of 7ths not needed. That would finish validating everything I've ever said about him as a player. And lets be honest, he's a multi-millionaire in a family full of multi-multi-millionaires. His catastrophic failure in the NFL doesn't generate much empathy from me, he'll be just fine rolling around in his piles of money and getting the easy life full of opportunities that young, good looking extremely rich people generally get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that’s not good. The longer this drags on (just cut him now and be done if there’s no savings) the more it feels he’s possibly back. Most recent Connor Rodgers podcast he described Wilson as a black cloud still hanging over the team. There’s no reason just not to cut him, unless there are other things at play.

You do realize that even if there was a savings they don't have to wait until June 1st to cut him? They could do it now and just designate him a June 1st cut.My guess is that they are waiting for free agency and the draft to be over with to see what's left in terms of interest from another team. Personally I don't think there will be any but again I believe they will exhaust all avenues before they finally cut him and receive absolutely nothing in return.Let me ask you this. When they do finally cut him, does he need to actually sign with another team before you will let go of the notion that he will be on the Jets this coming season? Or will you be pounding the pulpit that he is going to resign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 very stupid question I know but what is the big deal if he stays? The Jets are paying the 11m one way or another. He wont be the backup so it is QB3. Is it a roster spot that is the concern? What if he is on the practice squad every week? While I agree it is cleaner to just release him and be done - if for whatever reason they don't. I just don't see the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there’s a chance he sticks here. His handlers want him gone, the jets coach wants him gone and i imagine most players want him gone.

Guilhermezmc Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Would you guys send Zach Wilson + 2024 4th + 2025 6th for Jeudy? Jeudy probably hates Hackett and Denver probably would not want ZW tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh huh Coaches always fall back on the old familiar. Not that hard to connect the dots with Van Pelt and Brissett. Van Pelt was an uninspiring hire to say the least. If the idea of luring Brissett in FA to start in '24 had anything to do with it, that's like what the Jets did with Hackett basically. Kraft seems convinced Jerod Mayo is the next great thing. No idea. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It moves me a little, because it saves up to $5.2M against the cap. Otherwise, yeah, totally fine with cutting our losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weight that would be immediately lifted is worth just as much, if not more than the 5 million of cap space. Why the Jets feel the need to let this linger, or having Zach find his landing spot, well we all know the different speculative angles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't expect the front office to have the same neurosis you have when it comes to how much longer he remains on the team.
