You all know that back in 2015 they tried to trade washington for cousins when RG3 was still starter and right before we settled for fitzpatrick and washington refused to trade him. Mac was very interested then......I would be very suprised if they dont make a big run at the guy now. Besides, its a known quantity - a safe move. The currently leadership knows they cant draft quarterbacks and are terrible at developing quarterbacks.

When your all time passing leader is Joe Namath - in a time when QB's werent supposed to be passing legends - and Ryan Fitzpatrick is your TD leader - you are a sad sad desperate organization. Cousins is mediocre in several categories and above average in many others. None of it really matters. Simple fact is he would be best QB Jets ever had - just because none of the ones we ever had really rated. Closest was Chad - but he couldnt stay healthy. If they think they can get Cousins, they will. Even if they were capable of developing and drafting a guy - the risk factor is so great you get a lemon. And if they do that is a third lemon in a row for the current staff.

Its even the reason we are seeing all the Bates stuff now. Makes you think they are probably not officially announcing his appointment until Free Agency to attempt to further entice cousins.

Agree with everything with the exception of Bates. Cousins has had said alot of positive things regarding Bates so it would be a benefit to announce him before free agency. Cousin's has said that he will be through in his approach to selecting a team. Mac could be waiting to see what happens with the coaching staff of the Eagles after the game today. As another poster has suggested, DeFillippo could be first choice with Bates being a backup plan. Landing him could be a big factor in the decision to go after Cousins or to pursue a QB in the draft. I'd bet Bates is officially named OC by mid week if DeFillippo isn't.
