No, absolutely, paying for the aging castoffs from contending teams has always been a staple of success for the New York Jets. 

What else ya got ? Back up long snapper? Emergency PK ?

Who are the Jets late round pick starters?

Jets have two UDFA starters listed in Gipson and Adams. Historically, UDFAs have had more success than picks in rounds 5-7, and JD’s pickups are part of the reason. Not to mention the beloved and lost Huff.

I dont think they have any late round starters.  MC II is the starting slot CB?  Maybe Clemons?  Are we counting Quincy?  Carter started last year.

The challenge w/ this question is the Jets have been really bad and had a lot of early picks, in addition to acquiring more early picks and trading up for players.  So it's not really a question that indicates anything.  The Jets have had 9 picks in the first 2 rounds over the last 3 years.   All but Zach Wilson is a starter so, not sure this indicates anything.

He has figured it out. He understands that has all the leverage, and can simply wait Reddick out. Reddick is only hurting himself, and the Jets will have a dominant DL with or without him. 

Reddick would be really hurting himself to sit out the year.  He's still young and with a good stat year can then get a decent 3-4 year contract next year elsewhere. He's here on a one year deal and JD has no intention signing him to a 3-4 year mega contract.  Players who sit out a year always seem to lose a step.  Really makes no sense.  You're going to lose a year and sacrifice 15M to get a contract the following year for say 20M per for 3 years?  Highly unlikley.  No team really wants to go down that path and roll the dice.  I wonder if Jamal Adams is his agent?  🤔

The OL conversation really ties the room together regarding Douglas sucking. He has George Fant, drafts Becton, Fant outplays Becton every step of the way, Becton eats himself into a gout-induced coma, forced to give the perpetually injured Duane Brown 2/$22 million, drafts Max Mitchell in Rd 4, drafts Carter Warren in Rd 4, lets Fant walk and Fant becomes a starter for the playoff-bound Texans, Brown gets Rodgers killed, Brown gets hurt, forced to turn back to Becton, Becton sucks, lets Becton walk, gives Tyron Smith $6 mil plus incentives ($1mil per game started, which, ok), then turns around and drafts Fashanu at pick 11. If you managed a single asset at your job with the cost:fail rate ratio that Douglas has handled OLT alone you would be blackballed from your industry. And his strength was allegedly the OL!

He’s not behaving logically, which makes his next move difficult to predict. This holdout is costing him fines and soon it will be game checks. Instead, he could be putting up career type numbers in this defense that is more than happy to let him pin his ears back and get after the passer. The Jets aren’t giving him his contract, and they’re not (so far) caving to his trade demands - and they shouldn’t. They are, however, giving him an opportunity to hit free agency next year on high note and he’s not taking it. 
 
People want to make this about Douglas when meanwhile, the greatest GM in the history of the sport is dealing with not one but two critical players holding out.

Gipson as a starter isn’t really true but I’ll give it to you. So they have 2 players over 6 years who play who were drafted after round 2. I think this may correlate with some of the losing that you’re vehemently defending .

He will be playing next yr for the jets on same 1 yr deal if he doesn’t play this yr. As long as JD makes it known that is what will happen, reddick definitely will be playing this yr.

20 of the 24 packers starters were selected by the Packers in the draft. The Jets have 8.

Who has a better roster?

Tippman

AVT

GW

Gipson

Hall

QW

JJ

Clemons 

MCII

Sauce

Adams

not sure where you where you came up with 8, unless you think the Jets will resolve the Reddick situation and Lazard is the slot receiver.

If Rodgers gets hurt again, maybe. But if he doesn’t and jets makes the playoffs, he won’t. Plus Tyrod is a lot more capable than Zach Wilson , if Aaron were to miss a few games.
  Even if Douglas is not here, Reddick will be if he doesn’t play this yr. If this guy is dumb and stubborn enough to sink his entire career, jets need to hold the line and make an example out of this pos.

Not just literally how his absence leaves a gaping hole on the d-line. Allowing teams to slide protection towards Quinnen, JJ, etc. 
I also think it’s a vibe situation. 
With Reddick starting week 1 in SF the Jets are on the right path.
If not, the Jets are tempting fate.
I’m an old guy and maybe I’ve done too much virtual aya like Rodgers. But Douglas’ stance towards Reddick, it’s all good until the football gods adjudge too arrogant.

Jets have the best game day OT group in the league. 
 

hall of famer Tyron Smith at LT

solid veteran starter big Mo at RT

naturally gifted gigantic swing tackle Olu that looked good in his first ever action at RT that I’m aware of. Don’t think he’s ever played RT before. Give him another 3 weeks to absorb Smiths mentorship and he’ll be starting quality. 
 

Simpson and AVT are legit 

Tippmann is solid. 
 

Schweitzer is ok for the 7th guy to dress on gameday. 
 

Carter Warren is a good 4th OT to have in “break glass in case of emergency”

the 4th interior guy has 3 guys fighting for the job. 
 

honestly the Jets are going to have one or two of their cuts get picked up 

@T0mShane

turns out it was 2

Duane Brown was an iron man before coming here.

 

he was just old 

 

you’re not wrong about most of your OL stuff though 

Becton over Wirfs was the second biggest disaster after Zach instead of trade down

Joe Douglas should be gm of the year.......for the Packers as he essentially built that team.

FA is part of team building, could sometimes actually be cheaper than draft (see Huff and Williams). Reason why GB may have 20 of 24 too is location of their team. In the world today, think more nfl players would choose NY area over GB
