I’m gonna guess 3/$50mm with $27mm guaranteed. 4 Years (2 voidable) for 65 Mil.... 40 Guaranteed.. Hahaha In reality something like a 20 Million 2 year deal which is really 1 just to spread the money out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really know what the interest in him looks like outside of us. I think there could be some money freeing moves on the way too. At the end of the day, I don’t think it happens but I’m just saying that we are still monitoring the situation and may jump in if it doesn’t look like he’s going to get the massive payday he thought he was going to get. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look. Bakhtiari jokes are fun, and I still wouldn’t do the move if I were it were my ass on the line, but he’s probably going to be the last “big” OL signing for us if my gut and what I was told a few weeks ago is true. Maybe it’s the last bit of hope I have, but it’s hard not to be at least a little intrigued by the idea. It’s a huge question mark that should have a contingency plan, but if the guy’s knee really is fixed properly, then you are getting a player who was, arguably, the best LT in football for 1 or 2 years, allowing you to draft a RT which is, typically, the T position that is easier to play when jumping from college to the pros. If someone with flexibility to play both T spots drops, that’s even better because you can groom him to take over for Bahktiari. Get that deal over with, push the rest of the money towards a WR, and be done with it until the draft. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure as a fan you feel different... but in reality they would be even more strapped for cash since whatever money they spent would not have gotten rolled over to this year...

He played too much X receiver and ran too many routes along the boundary. He’d be the ideal WR2 on a 1 to 2 year deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 4 hours ago, Mogglez said: We were also heavily in on Jonah Jackson, who used our offer to get more out of Rams. Team thought they had him locked up. 4 hours ago, Mogglez said: No one wants to play here. Turns out Aaron Rodgers doesn’t mean much when you can get the same money, if not more, with a competent organization. 4 hours ago, Mogglez said: The silver lining? The Jets viewed this as, like, option D. The bad news? They missed out on options A, B, and C, so they had to settle for option D. 4 hours ago, Mogglez said: They tried. “No one wants to play here” is not an opinion. It’s what the front office is being told. We’re not an attractive destination. 4 hours ago, Mogglez said: That was one of the plans. Not Morse specifically, but signing a C and kicking Tippman out to G. They missed on the Cs they wanted. 4 hours ago, Mogglez said: Tyler Biadasz. 4 hours ago, Mogglez said: That is the gist of what I’ve heard. We’ve basically been told all off-season (because these discussions happen well before the tampering period) “Joe, you’re going to have to pony-up if you want us to sign here. You don’t have the established track record or upside that some other teams have to offer.” Joe Douglas doesn’t budge much from his prices and, when he does, it’s never enough to prevent the player from going back to the other teams and saying “Hey, this is what the Jets are offering. Can you match it?” That is exactly what happens with Jonah Jackson. While hardly shocking, this is still ****ing depressing. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Ghost Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Who had Javon Kinlaw, Tyrod Taylor and John Simpson on their Bingo card? If you did, you had meager expectations. Hopefully Simpson works out here (I think he will) Taylor doesn’t have to play other than mop up duty (good backup, but fragile) and Kinlaw doesn’t poison the locker room.

It’s the whole reason he is a back-up. Terrible fit.

The Jets were not going anywhere near what Carolina gave Lewis This is the organization’s reality, and has been (at least) since Parcells left. Tannenbaum was happy to overpay. The result was a team that got close, but had no depth largely because of the expense of his starters. He was the anti-JD, trading away picks for expensive veterans, creating an unsustainable roster situation. Maccagnan was also happy to overpay, and that’s how we got Mosley - who, despite @Sperm Edwards’s wrath, has at least played hard and with heart here. Because usually when the team lands a player only for the money we wind up with Trumaine Johnson. It’s frustrating, but I prefer he stick to his guns rather than grossly overpaying for players. This is not an attractive destination, but I still want players who want to be here for more than just a paycheck. That’s why I also approve of spending more on younger guys with upside, because at least those guys are playing for yet another contract. Being the NFLPA’s ATM isn’t going to take the clown shoes off of this organization, only some winning can do that. The execution has been shaky, but he’s right to try to build thru the draft. That’s his only real shot at truly great players like Garrett Wilson, Breece, Sauce, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
