Who do you got Jets Fans?
- Thread starter gmf1369
- Start date
And also our present and future cap
Shultz is heads and tails rated better than Njoku. Njoku is great when he's clicking but he rarely does. He's very inconsistent. I picked him in my previous post only because he was, in my opinion, the best option for us at that huge $1 deal. In the NFL top 101 list he is listed as 94 whereas Shultz is listed at 22. There has to be a reason for that gap between them.

. My issue is signing players to long term contracts who were not drafted by this team .

I understand where you are coming from and in many instances it has bit us in the ass, however, once in awhile you nab a player that is worth it. Shultz is young, only 26, and has a lot of good years, barring injury of course, left and could very well be that long term, impactful player, much like Gronk, that gives opposing teams the fits. A player like that you want long term so it's worth the gamble that he will continue to be impactful and love being a Jet.
anyone complaining about Kevin Mawae? Curtis Martin?Everything you wrote is
I know someone who complained about Martin to this very day . For all that they added, what did we win ?
I am probably the only Jet fan who was never a fan of Brick Ferguson also . I believe in priorities, and because of this I only pay premium positions .

i hear what you're saying. i think as Jet Fans, we have seen too many Neil O'Donnell signings, but i think our FA Approach has softened my stance... and believe me, it was a lot like your own.
@DWC's perfectly illustrated the way FA's need to be handled. Essentially shown the money, but to capitalize on it to the maximum, the FA's need to perform or their gone for cheap, and we keep the flexibility to re-sign big time players.
That would make the offense quite exciting
And the pressure would be on Zach
Absolutely no sophomore excuses
LT is a premium position - and the guy didn't miss a game. Curtis and Mawae were a huge reason why the Jets were 30 minutes from the Superbowl........but a team is comprised of more than 2 players...........you build a roster.......the draft is the structure...FA is the added pieces to finish it off because it's virtually impossible to wait for the draft to collect enough talent to perform in their optimal window together. FA is not a solution as previous Jet regimes attempted - it should be utilized in conjunction with a strong homegrown base.
Just so I’m clear I have no objection to signing certain strategic free agents to augment the roster when the time is right . I was informed earlier that cutting certain players would accelerate their cap hits leaving us with substantial dead money for next year. Since that can’t be apart of the plan then we’re looking at adding these additional terrible contracts to the Lawson, Mosley and JFM contracts . Then consider that Q is coming up for a contract and that we’re about getting to give a contract to Fant and maybe Berrios . Every yr after next, some kid we drafted who’s a solid part of this roster will be coming up for a contract and we’re going to be stuck with these old guys who we signed before the team was ready .
And for what, so we could look decent while not making the big game.
nobody has a crystal ball as to when the roster is 'ready' or stays 'ready' before injuries get in the way.
Maybe not but I know that this roster isn’t ready . Let’s say we signed those 2 five dollar assets on offense add an OLman and spend the rest of the draft on defense . Next season will be about getting everyone on the same page offensively and acclimating the new guys into the defensive scheme and having them gel . 2023 will be about challenging The Bills for supremacy in the AFC east and and then it’s 2024 .
Some of y’all just want to see this team competitive, but I want to see them win the SB and have the chance to do so yearly . I am not interested in selling the future for looking good now
any signing has to be done with a 3 year window .....but the key to sustained winning is constantly rolling forward with cap space, solid drafts, and good coaching. There is always acclimation each year - you never have a pause button- look at TB....they tried it this year by bringing everyone back but it doesn't work. You always have change and adjustments.....FAs leave too....injuries.........game is a constant state of flux year to year and you need proper management at the top to adapt quickly.
