DoubleDown Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Ridley would be a nice pick up. The talent is there, and I think he'll be better for the next couple of years than he was last year. The rust from being suspended for 1.5 seasons is no joke. He should be past it now. Unfortunately, the Jets are not going to do much better. The Jets need someone to pair with Garrett, and the JD/Saleh/Rodgers window is closing quickly. It's tough to justify using the time to groom a rookie unless it's a blue chip prospect like Harrison.

PFSIKH Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 2 hours ago, Matt39 said: 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. The Jags want him. The Jags only have so many options. They tagged Josh Allen. They have Christan Kirk that is costing them 20+ million. A TE that was very productive and are about to extend Trevor. 31 minutes ago, Jetsfan80 said: 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. The Jags want him. The Jags gambled on him and it worked out. The Jags just have too many obligations. Trevor is about to paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't be the dumba$$ team that hands him a 4-year deal only to watch him end up on season-ending IR by Week 3 of his first season.

As long as you are aware of the risk go for it and be ready for plan B if there is an issue and as along as the contract does not out weigh the risk.

greenwichjetfan Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Big no thank you on Ridley. The guy to go after and change the entire dynamic of the offense was Mike Evans, but he's out of scope. I'd rather spend #10 on Odunze and use the Ridley money on defense and a speedster like MVS to slide Lazard to WR4. Take some of the good OL at #72, #111, #113.

Paradis Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I don't think it's a secret that we're going to be in the Ridley sweepstakes, but it's unlikely he chooses us IMO....

Who cares at this point. We fans need to stop being logical. The annihilation of this team is inevitable. Just let them go “all in”, fail and get it over with. The only hope is a good head coach/gm and building the right way. The analogy is, the world is ending and you want to bang as many hot chicks as possible despite all the STDs because it doesn’t matter anyways. That’s the culture that they built. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 4 hours 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? 4 hours ago, Matt39 said: Jacksonville already did the homework on the one year deal. He’s not going back there. Unless Ridley is coming in a one year incentive laden deal, he’ll no There are only so many dollars for a team with this many high-priced players, not to mention an upcoming $50-60MM/year contract for Lawrence (by the time they get that ironed out, which may be as early as this summer, to get in before another year or so of cap increases boosts that to almost $70MM). They could surely restructure everyone to create enough space to sign Ridley (on top of backloading a deal for him) but they're not in the driver's seat in negotiations anymore since there's no threat of tagging him (they're using that on Allen). IOW it may not be that Jacksonville doesn't want him so much as Ridley wants to test the market: there's no more injury risk avoided by re-signing with them prior to FA, knowing he's easily the top WR target available with Evans signing his extension. With this group, they're not necessarily in a position to blow him out of the water with such an offer he doesn't listen to offers from anyone else: Kirk was already restructured once, resulting in his '24 hit now up to $24MM. Restructuring is doable again, of course, but they'd surely rather not make his hit untenable in '25. This isn't a now-or-never opportunity for Jacksonville in 2024. Tagging Allen makes his hit $24MM as well. They'd like to lock him up longer, which would lower that number, but the reality is they may have to have him carry that number through free agency (if not through the season). Scherff, like Kirk, also restructured last season so he has a $24MM cap hit himself (though only $16.5MM is new money; they could designate him a post-6/1 cut to drop his hit by that amount, but of course then they'd have to shop for a new guard who'd be a likely downgrade given the options out there). Olukun -- same as Scherff & Kirk, restructured last year and now has a $21MM cap number. They could extend him into his 30s, but right now they are focused on other players. So those 4 players alone are $93MM. Cam Robinson could be extended to lower his $21MM cap hit. I don't think they're moving on from him, but extending him wouldn't be at any cost, particularly heading into a strong OL draft. Absent an extension or restructure on him, that's a non-QB, 5-player total of $114MM. AND they have to already be thinking of getting Lawrence locked up long-term early, before the numbers grow further. Backloaded as that will surely be, it'll also increase his current hit of just $12MM by virtue of the next bonus money alone. They've publicly said they wanted to bring him back. With the cap increase official, Ridley (never mind his agent) knows he'll never be in a better position to get the top offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
