CotcheryifyouCan Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 any chance you guys think we go after him? I know the jets were interested before he got suspended. I am not totally sold on him being a #1 but he would be a huge upgrade over Lazard. Still would want to draft a wr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Give me Ridley, Bakhtiari/Smith and an OT at #10 and we’re in much better shape. Its doable. Still think we’re dead in the water with Hackett no matter what. Cant totally hide the worst OC in the league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sign a couple vet ots, would you take Bowers at ten ( assuming we get Ridley) and because it's a deep class for oline, just take the best ot like rosengarten rd4?

Dont forget that JD pretty much traded for him before JAX did and ATL did us a solid and told us he was under investigation. So we backed out. So clearly JD likes his talent. I question more so if he wants to come to us. But I expect us to make a run at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Not a chance. The drop off from Ridley to the next WR is Hollwood Brown. Ridley might get a record breaking contract and it wont be the Jets who give it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Insanity. Douglas receiver signings have been Davis (retired) Lazard (uh yeah) and Hardman. Now you want to give a player who missed a season for personal reasons and another for gambling 20 million a year? Add on the fact Jacksonville is letting him leave. If you want to know why the Jets are a disaster, here’s a peek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read about the gambling thing and its a big issue rightfully so in the league but it's not like he was out there doing a Jordan at the casino. He was doing stupid sh*t on his cell phone like most young people do. Likewise our young adults are mentally fragile at least comparitive to older generations. Mental health issues are on the rise in this generation and I think more people suffer in silence and still play than we all realize. We may wind up with a player with mental health issues regardless. I think he can he a dude here playing next to Wilson. His issues and living in NY make me hesitant but he is the best available wr that we dont have to give up assets for and that makes him more valuable to a team with limited assets like the Jets. That being said, I want him so that means officially we wont get him because one of the following: we are a sh*t show taxes are too high here he doesnt want to play for a lameduck coach he doesnt want to play in the cold we are used as a negotiating tool like usual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 You guys are nuts. Based on production last year, our circumstance, and waning options, signing Ridley is a no-brainier. He’s a top-25 WR (yardage), and has TD production that is tied for 8th best in the league (with 8). He’s in elite company (statistically) and doesn’t require draft compensation…which we don’t have to spend on a receiver anyway. C Ridley: 17 games, 76 rec, 1017 yards, 8 TDs G Wilson: 17 games, 95 rec, 1042 yards, 3 TDs D Adams: 17 games, 103 rec, 1144 yards, 8 TDs D Hopkins: 17 games, 75 rec, 1057 yards, 7 TDs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you asking the same question twice? Lol He was traded for and signed to a 2 year contract, now he’s a free agent. Who says they DON’T try to resign him? I’m not intimate with the JAX cap situation, but off the top of my head they have other weapons (C Kirk, Z Jones, E Engram, Etienne), and some other pressing needs to protect their QB and defense. They can likely replace Ridley in the draft with their draft capital, something we don’t have the luxury of doing until the 3rd round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 6 minutes ago, Greenseed4 said: Why are you asking the same question twice? Lol I wasn't. The Falcons got rid of him and now the Jaguars are letting him walk, all within a 3-year period. Meanwhile as @Matt39 pointed out he missed 29 games due to non-football reasons (mental health break; gambling). Just seems like a really risky guy to hand the multi-year deal he's likely to command, all for a guy who is good but not great. Especially since there are few things more damaging to your mental health and ability to stay on the field than playing for the New York Jets. The minute the Jets sign him just go ahead and put him on the Commissioner's Exempt List and get it out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcoops Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 31 minutes ago, Jetsfan80 said: Why are the Jaguars letting him go? And why is he already about to be on his 3rd team in a 3-year period? If they re-sign him, the trade comp to the Falcons elevates from a 3rd round pick to a 2nd round pick. That, coupled with the big contract he will get as the likely top FA WR on the market, might lead to the Jaguars letting him go. I like Ridley and think he could be a good signing, but he is not without risk. He will be expensive, and has already been suspended for a year and suffered mental health issues. In any event, I think this is all academic - I seriously doubt he is coming here. The fact that the Jets are already being linked with guys like Kendrick Bourne tells you a lot about where this FA period is likely headed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were a true young WR1a/1b with limited concerns, the difference in going from giving up a 3rd to a 2nd would be negligible. I doubt its a huge factor in the equation. Committing long-term to him is the far bigger issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 As it stands now I think the jets have a shot at DJ Chark. JD needs to make some big cuts to get into the position to outbid teams by 15% to make up for the jets tax. if he gets to 45 million or more in space then he can address some things.
