Eagles to make aggressive push for Bryce Huff

Well-run teams with smart GMs place a priority on young, proven pass-rushers.

Guess he thinks McDonald is good enough, eh?

We are in the pre-legal but somehow legal tampering period.

Isn’t that what Riddick is?

[Integrity28]

Like being dealt a handful of aces and folding before the flop.

What a disgrace.

[T0mShane]

Glad we hung on to him solely because Rodgers snowed Saleh into believing he was coming back in mid-December. Probably could have gotten a 2+ for him at the deadline.

[Mogglez]

Fangio runs a base 3-4.

Not sure I love that for Huff but the kid should go get his bag regardless.  It was wildly stupid not to sign him last off-season.

Right turn Clyde.😁

Yes, the Jets should’ve traded him last season before the deadline. That was a mistake. 
 
No, we should not be whining about the Jets not resigning him this year. 
 
The Jets only have so many resources, and need major repairs to the offense. The team currently has about $26M in cap room, and Huff could easily command north of $20M himself. Don’t believe in McDonald? Fine, but we saw Jermaine Johnson make a nice jump from year one to two under this staff. I wouldn’t call it impossible. There’s also plenty of other guys in the rotation. For all the love Hall gets -and I love the guy, too!- it’s not a good idea for the team to even try to retain him. 

[Gibby]

Can’t understand why they don’t just keep him? Not worried about snaps or nit picky comment about him in the run game. Rushing the quarterback is one of the single most important things to have and we have a homegrown one we’re going to just let leave.

[FootballLove]

I don't know. Seems we have too many young pass rushers. Even the good ones rarely see 30% of the snaps. Plus we just drafted another one. If anything, we could use more D-tackles to play alongside Q.

losing him won't suck, but losing him for nothing does suck. Way to go Joe.

Because the people who run the football team are half asleep and don’t care?

[derp]

Huff’s one of the most efficient players in the league at rushing the passer, which is one of the most important skill sets in the NFL. I’d love to be wrong but I don’t think losing him for nothing will be something we look back at fondly.

He’s the kind of player a good coaching staff finds a way to maximize and a good franchise finds a way to hold on to.

Still think they should have hung on to him. If they knew they weren’t going to then they should’ve traded him at the deadline. I was against it at the time but because I thought they should keep him, not because I wanted him for the second half of a lost season.

Might have made draft position worse too if he helped contribute to winning any of those stretch games. Just a tremendously poorly handled situation all around.

Abraham to Falcons. Farrior to the Steelers Huff to the Eagles. Jets, a tradition of not knowing what they have. Never, ever,ever,eever learn. Eagles win the NFC championship game on a Bryce Huff strip and score. Jets season over by Thanksgiving this season. . Book it!

[neckdemon]

it's not losing huff thats the issue, since thats what mcdonald should be for. it was not trading him at the deadline and now losing him for nothing. thats what makes douglas a f'ing moron

Traded Hugh Douglas to Philly once upon a time as well. 

[JetsMan57]

It took the Jets about 15 years to replace John Abraham (a joke in itself) and once we do, a home grown undrafted free agent no less (when does that ever happen to this franchise) we are just going to let him walk.

This is why the Jets stay the Jets

 

[mrcoops]

Ouch. Looks like the rest of the NFL values a proven young pass-rusher with an elite level of pass-rush efficiency:

[Greensleeves]

It would not shock me if McDonald ends up a better player than Huff. JJ is definitely a more valuable player. We'll see how Huff plays on a line minus Q. A lot of sacks these edge guys get is initially caused by Q beating his man. I wouldn't sleep on McDonald - his speed and bend is excellent. There is a reason why one went in the first round (measurables) and one was undrafted. Huff is a great situational guy - McDonald can be more.

[Crimer]

We get nothing?  I thought we get a 3rd rounder as compensation?  Need to spend every penny on offense!

[Sperm Edwards]

So we’re all just going to ignore that he wants to play in a different system where he’s guaranteed a full time starting role that’d be empty words even if it was offered?

All they could do was tag him, which is overkill for a very part time player who once reached 10 sacks in a rotation that kept him fresh and further kept him from getting steamrolled in run defense; they can’t make him sign anything more than that.

I’d like it if they retained him, too, but not at any cost at this point.

The time to extend him was when nobody bit on his 2nd round RFA tender a year ago, before the draft which was also before mindlessly guaranteeing an unneeded Lawson another season at starter money. The timing was perfect to get him locked up at $6-8MM per for a few more seasons, and they couldn’t recognize it.

Douglas is like a broker who recommends you buy equities only after they’ve tripled in value and then recommends retaining others until after they’ve plummeted in value. Buy high, sell low = the history of Joe Douglas.

[Crimer]

I don’t know. JD cut pretty good deals with Quincy and DJ. We talk about him on this forum like he is a complete idiot. He’s not. It also takes 2 to tango and there are 31 other teams out there also trying to get better. 

[BornJetsFan1983]

Ignorance so strong in this thread

Huff has to go for obvious reasons, again Douglas doing good by the team and the player. If you drew a picture of a good GM it would be of joe Douglas, possibly while eating 

[Larz]

Huff doesn’t want to be here. I’m not mad about this at all. Can you imagine not having money to rebuild the line , get a quality veteran backup QB because you gave a guy that can’t set the edge on first down a huge deal when you have JJ and McDonald on the roster?

Jalen Carter is a very good player.

And lost Demario Davis not once but twice..... 

[BurntDice]

Personally I just don’t understand why he was t tagged. Get something for him at least 

[JetsMan57]

You get the idea the coaching staff and FO never truly valued Huff. Remember, he was inactive for the first 3-4 games of the 2022 season. It wasnt only until they activated him and played him the pass rush and the defense as a whole took off.

Then they ridiculously had him playing deep into the 4th quarter of the HOF game last summer. You figured they were showcasing him for a trade, but they werent.

Will McDonald may break out this year, but losing Huff still effects Saleh and Ulbrich's system of rotating Dlinemen.

They simultaneously stood pat the deadline and didn’t attempt to bring in a viable qb option, effectively punting on the season and held onto an expiring Huff where it doesn’t make sense to tag him. All this in a do or die offseason where they presumably will be active in FA in some fashion. Just gross mismanagement. 

[CanadienJetsFan]

We need money to buy O-linemen.
