This might be an all-time great year for this thread. The Bills and Dolphins are gutting their defenses to get under the cap (and the Dolphins are about to give Tua $50 million/year). The Jets are a clown show on offense led by a 40 year old anti-vaxxer coming off a popped achilles tendon. And the Patriots have almost no talent on their entire roster and are entering the offseason with no GM in place. God bless the AFC East.

I don't know how giving a lovely guard who was benched basically over and over again his first few years in the league, had to take a 1MM deal last year and then ended up playing decently in the context of a really good OL and system with a mobile QB 9 million dollars a year counts as value. But that is what gets Joe Douglas a stiffy way more than god forbid actually overpaying an actual GOOD PLAYER. Can't loving have that.

I don't think they're paying him 9m per, it's up to 18m for two years which sounds like agent numbers. But yeah, the realistic best case scenario is he's a JAG that they can hide with other acquisitions, which would be an upgrade over Laken (which begs the question of who is going to do the hiding lol).

Replacing three OL starters was never going to be pretty, especially with Douglas doing it.

I feel like you aren’t acknowledging that Taylor is slightly more fragile than Samual L Jackson’s character in Unbreakable.

I am sure you would have been perfectly happy if they'd signed Ryan Tannehill or Drew Lock instead. All of these backups, even the solid ones, have critical flaws. That's why no one wants them starting.

Anyways, apparently the Jets have scouts at Bo Nix's workout LOL

gently caress it. Aaron Rodgers retires to run for VP with RFK Jr. Tyrod Taylor starts week 1, replaced by #10 overall pick Bo Nix by week 6. Jets posters do a Goon meet in a field in upstate New York and commit ritual suicide in order to cast a blood curse on Woody Johnson.

But seriously, the only thing the Jets have going for them as a destination for players is playing with A A ron and now there is a question about if he's actually going to play all over twitter. I guess that assumes they are actually trying to recruit players though.

It would be pretty stunning if he actually didn't play. He just said like a week ago that he wants to play a few more years, presumably while (or after) this VP outreach was happening. But it's still a huge distraction. The guy is a clown and full of poo poo.

Something is going on behind the scenes with the jets because they quite obviously aren't trying to win or improve the team.

100%, and everything that has happened thus far this offseason indicates it's something catastrophic. From the exodus of assistant coaches, to Alexander/Hogan getting canned, to the Ulbrich/49ers mutual interest, to the pre-FA leaks that they were not going to be major players.

A pretty funny bit on the Athletic podcast yesterday:

Patriots - oh they're signing a bunch of cheap guys, makes sense, make sure the cupboard isn't bare and you can develop around your rookie QB
Jets - oh they're signing a bunch of cheap guys, makes sense, they think they're contenders and trying to fill in the obvious holes.
Dolphins & Bills - oh they're signing a bunch of cheap guys, makes sense, they went all in and have to replace expensive guys with guys a rung down now

Nate Tice actually really liked the one iOL signing the Jets have made lol. I don't think NFL pundits are as bewildered by the Jets as Jets fans are.

Basically “it doesn’t matter what product we put on the field, as long as it covers our optics and firemen Ed’s dumbass is happy”?

Whatever it is, I don't think it was the plan. Woody was saying a month ago that they are going to rework the offense this offseason. Rodgers was saying last week that he has at least two more years left. Their total passivity does not align with that messaging. Maybe 4pm today hits and they rework a bunch of deals and get active in the second wave of free agency and the trade market. But it's equally likely that something totally unexpected, Rodgers-related or not, totally upended their plans for the offseason.

The return speaks for itself. The ceiling of how good this OL could be is basically an inch off the ground.

I know you are extremely hard to please but this is a goofy take. Moses is a very high-floor player. It's a solid move.

fsif posted:

So like, shell out a ton of money for Calvin Ridley and Tyron Smith?

Gabe Davis was like legitimately one of the better WRs on the market and we'd have been lolling if the Jets gave him the contracting Jacksonville did.

I don't think Tryon Smith is going to get a megadeal because of injury concerns. They should absolutely be in on that if his market is for reasonable money. It would give them flexibility at #10.

For WRs, my expectations weren't really sky high. I don't think they necessarily need or should spend top-dollar to round out the room around Wilson. If you think Wilson is a 1500 yard-type receiver with Rodgers playing (VP run aside lmao), you could have a very good room with two more functional guys (idk, Boyd and Curtis Samuel) or another functional veteran and a draft pick.

If the Jets do sign Bahktari and he can actually play, that’s a pretty big improvement on 60% of the Oline even if he’s just ok. He’s only 32 so there’s reason for optimism.

I don't think you can sign Bakhtiari to be your starter. I'd be fine with signing him for cheap to be a depth guy/spot starter, but his injury history is just too long at this point to rely on him as a regular player.

Professor Funk

The best thing they can do right now is sign Tyron Smith, who I think you can at least rely on to play at a high level for 12-14 games a season. That gives you real flexibility in the draft that you don't have if you try to fill LT with Bakhtiari. Otherwise, the whole league (again) knows they'll be targeting a LT at 10 overall.

I also feel like the Smith contract is going to be less than everyone thinks it's going to be.

Yeah I totally agree. I think if someone was going to pay top dollar for him he would have signed already.

Also, the Chargers just released Mike Williams. That's an option at WR, though a super low floor/high ceiling option.
