My most realistic mock off-season EVER.

*Re-sign

TE Yeboah (RFA)
LT Becton
RT Turner
C McGovern
DT Thomas
DE Huff
CB Hardee
SS Whitehead
S Clark
FS Davis
K Zuerlein
P Morstead

**Free Agents

QB Carson Wentz (Rams)
RB Antonio Gibson (Commanders)
WR Curtis Samuel (Commanders)
G Jon Runyan (Packers)
OT Cameron Fleming (Broncos)
DT Javon Kinlaw (49ers)
DE Marcus Davenport (Vikings)

The above along with telling CJ Mosley to take a significant payout and off we go. This would definitely disappoint 95% of the fan base but I don't see us having a splashy off-season. Get Becton to sign a one year deal, with McGovern and Turner signing as key reserves. Get Huff his big deal. If anything happens to Rodgers we can use a vet like Wentz in there with a rookie like Travis (FSU) as a 3rd QB. Jon Runyan is pretty meh, but played decent ball for the Packers the past few years. Fleming is a vet swing tackle. Davenport can fill in as our backend pass rusher as everyone else moves up the depth chart.

Yea, that’s not how it works. The guarantee cap hits can be back loaded, if needed. 

The market provides their guaranteed worth.

I'm glad you got the point finally. The only way players will be convinced in with guaranteed money which the jets will have to be in at the high end and throwing that out for mid-tier players who will get cut is a bad idea.

During the period beginning at 12:00 noon, New York time, on March 11 and ending at 3:59:59 p.m., New York time, on March 13, clubs are permitted to contact, and enter into contract negotiations with the certified agents of players who will become unrestricted free agents upon the expiration of their 2023 player contracts at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on March 13.

During the above two-day negotiating period, a prospective UFA who is not represented by an NFLPA Certified Contract Advisor (“Unrepresented Player”) is permitted to communicate directly with a new club’s front office officials (excluding the head coach and other members of the club’s coaching staff) regarding contract negotiations. The club is responsible for confirming the player’s status as an Unrepresented Player.

No prospective unrestricted free agent is permitted to execute a contract with a new club until 4:00 p.m., New York time, on March 13.

An under the radar low floor solid ceiling OL it might be fun to see them target - Matt Hennessy. Has played well for the Falcons - with experience at center and guard - but coming off a season ending injury last summer. His brother Thomas is the Jets’ long snapper.

JD's moves will tell us A LOT about how HE views this team.

There is every possibility he thinks the team is a heck of a lot better/Super Bowl caliber than the fans do, and he doesn't make any/many big moves.

Or he might be desperate to save his job, and throws the house at FA.

Either way, will say alot, be interesting to see how it plays out.

Almost as bad as Lazard

Or Kenny Golladay. 

That is the thing-If you need a WR in FA they are very expensive.  Very, very expensive.  

that is why you try and draft one.

Jets putting this out now to set the expectation. The reality is they’re not going to be able to sign anyone worth anything

I can tell you why he won't spend big in FA.  He's too busy enjoying that season-ending win against the Pats all offseason!

The deals announced so far are guys cut since the new league year started or guys re-signing with current team.

I guess the only other option is somewhere in the middle.

And however it plays out, the doom and gloom around here will be insufferable.

As will be the endless whining of the Pollyanna Crowd who hates their fellow Jets Fans. :roll:

Sign loads of guys - panic moves to save JD's job, will hamstring the next regime for years

Don't sign loads of guys - gutless, asleep at the wheel, Woody is being tight with the money, noone wants to come her
 

As opposed to annual replies of the Pollyanna Crowd:

Signs Load of Guys - Smart, JD is so Dreamy and Brilliant, we're Super Bowl bound!

Signs No One - Smart, JD is so Dreamy and Brilliant, we're Super Bowl bound!
