Matt39 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 2 minutes ago, bicketybam said: Not the exit interview!!!! Right. But he could have been upfront with what went down. He ghosted the team after he left the field in Miami. He was the starter this year- not talking to the media to wrap the year up is basically unheard of. The Jets get dumped on because of stuff like this. Their damage control creates more damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogglez Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 2 minutes ago, T0mShane said: Also: Rodgers pulled the same sh*t with Russini over the “wish list” and then Douglas went out and fulfilled the wish list Rodgers disputed that they were requirements and that he provided intel on a few guys the Jets were interested in and Russini made it sound like they were, borderline, demands. Huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The Bucs aren't winning anything with or without Evans over the next 2 years, but maybe this was done as much to foster good will among fans as anything else. Evans might have 1 good year left tops, unless he wants to convert to TE like Gates and Gonzalez so he could theoretically be productive into his mid-thirties.

oatmeal Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 43 minutes ago, DoubleDown said: Bummer. He would have been a nice target for the Jets in free agency. Just because Evans signed an extension with the Bucs doesn't automatically make Russini's report false. These situations are fluid. Players and agents use these types of statements to media for leverage all the time. At the time of the report, Evans very well could have been planning to test free agency. It's called posturing during negotiations. This People trying to use this as a gotcha moment as if all these media clowns aren’t wrong at some point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 50 minutes ago, Untouchable said: Starting to think the smart move is to go all out on the OL in FA and take either Odunze or Nabers at #10. Will either of them make it to 10? I've seen a lot of mocks where they're both gone well before we pick. I'd love Odunze if he's on the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 2 hours ago, T0mShane said: She said on The Athletic Pod that Evans was looking for $24-$26 AAV and the Bucs were looking to give him $20-$22. Bucs upped their offer to get a deal done. Once again, no one has denied a single point of hers or Rosenblatt’s or even Pauline’s reporting. Douglas’ Combine presser was funereal and vague. Saleh has gone entirely underground. Anyone claiming that what Russini or Rosenblatt reported doesn’t have a leg to stand on other than copium. I genuinely wish there was more reason for optimism about the 2024 Jets but everything about this team -- from the leaks, the internal chaos, the coaching staff and front office fleeing -- just feels like it's already over and they're being forced to play out the string before rebuilding in 2025.

T0mShane Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 2 hours ago, Mogglez said: Jokes aside (this is actually exactly how I expected it to unfold if he hit FA), you have to wonder why it didn’t get done sooner if that was how high the Bucs were willing to go.

It has that initial feel, and I’m waiting for them to not get key offensive additions in FA and then you have to question how much longer rodgers will want to be here, if he even stays healthy. One good OL isn’t going to get them to the playoffs and isn’t saving everyone’s job. The team needs a few real upgrades on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Never fails. We make up all of our free agent wish lists, then guys like Higgins get franchised and Evans re-signs.

In the event all three are gone, all 3 WR's, Marvin, Nabers and Odunze will be gone as well. Very possible this plays out: Who's left top 10??? Chi -Caleb, Wash -Daniels, NE - Maye, Ari -Marvin, SD - Alt, NYG -Nabers, Tenn - Fashanou, Atl - Odunze, Chi - Turner, Jets Fuaga or Bowers???

I understand and I’m with you on this. Here’s my scenario where I’m ok with it. Say woody is now obsessed with qbs. He knows there’s a bunch of highly rated qbs in this draft. He’s also sitting there on the cusp of another rebranding with the logo/uniforms and we know he loves to win the PR game. Free agency will tell some, but maybe woody and jd are on board with possibly, going qb at 10, playing possum the whole way leading up to the draft. And then, say they went qb at 10, then maybe they use 2025 draft capital to address OL needs. While that scenario uses next year’s draft picks, it doesn’t mortgage the future if they’ve now invested in another qb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
