The Athletic has a few QB predictions out.

-Vikings get both Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson
-Brissett chooses the Patriots starting opportunity over the Jets.
-Jets sign Gardner Minshew to back up Aaron Rodgers.

The Bryce Huff contract/money from the Eagles is going to break every Jet fan's brain on how reasonable it's going to be. What a complete failure.

I'm guessing like $16-18m per year? I'd probably pay that even with the other gaping holes they need to fill.

What do we think about trading for Diontae Johnson? Not a lot of size but gets open.

I never really have any expectation of guys who have spent their whole careers with a team and are still productive like Lockett and Mike Evans to shake loose.

AFC East notes from Fowler and Graz

quote:

Fowler: Expect the Patriots to swing big on receiver Calvin Ridley. The Jaguars are very interested in keeping Ridley but haven't been able to close the deal.

The Patriots were in on Jerry Jeudy before the receiver was traded to Cleveland, but they wanted to wait until free agency before committing to a receiver, likely because they have their eyes on a few.
---------
Fowler: The Dolphins, who sit $21 million over the cap via Roster Management System, have essentially let Wilkins walk and now have 26 free agents about to hit the market, many of whom will be tough to keep.

Some league execs are looking at Miami through a Tua Tagovailoa lens. The Dolphins appear dedicated to extending him this offseason, which will be costly, so the cost-analysis could be simply to let Wilkins and Hunt walk and work to backfill those spots. They have gone all-in with splash trades, and now the bill has come due. GM Chris Grier is always good for a sizable move or two. What about pairing Jalen Ramsey with a corner like L'Jarius Sneed? I believe Miami has at least looked into it.
----------

Fowler: Wilkins' market is heating up after Miami opted against the franchise tag. Expect at least seven teams to pursue him. The Brian Flores connection in Minnesota is one to watch, but Houston and Cleveland could take swings, too.

Jets FO is getting the narrative out early.

I forget who it was but I saw a separate post last week about Woody and Saleh being on board some big spending, but Joe pushing back. Now this.

It�s such a weird dynamic. There�s no benefit to not filling as many holes as you can prior to the draft.

There's nothing wrong with this contract.

Still better than signing Jon Runyan. Best case scenario is he's the worse one on the OL.

Sign Tyron. Draft OT in the 1st.

What an absolutely deranged free agency from Joe Douglas, lmao

We added a backup QB who ideally never sees the field and a league average guard while letting our best homegrown pass rusher since John Abraham walk out the door what more do you want?

Simpson isn't league average. He's actively bad. He spent 2022 on a practice squad. He was one of the worst guards in the league in 20 and 21. He had one ok year (graded like poo poo) in the perfect situation.

He's getting $6m instead of $20m. An ok starting year on the Ravens is worth at least that.

OK but you are still starting a mediocre LG at best now. What is the ceiling to how good the Jets' OL can be? Who gives a poo poo about having a warm body..... are we trying to win anything this year or just fill out a roster? To me, this is a lateral move from Tomlinson and they had an embarrassingly awful OL last year.

I've already said, the best case scenario is he's the worst guy on the line, and he's probably a lateral or slight upgrade to Laken at a cheaper price. They still need a good LT and to burn their 1st on another.

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

You tend to quote PFF grades and he was their highest graded OL on the Ravens. Why care if it didn't cost a lot? Paying less is better.

We saw Moses here. he was fine. He doesn't have a elite upside by any means. They had a pretty mediocre rushing season with him at RT.

7th highest run block grade of all tackles playing at least 50% of the snaps.

Signing Bakh with no expectation he's a reliable starter would at least give them options in the draft.

There's essentially no good WRs left available and if they can fill OT with someone who can hold the fort like Tyron with Bakh backing him up, it would open up #10 for Odunze or Nabers.

He halved it. He essentially turned his 1/$17m non-guaranteed deal to a 2/$17 with $9m guaranteed.

It's good savings that they need to use now.
