Romo deserves better.
I guess this raises the question - do you want a competitive rebuild?
Of course, I want the Jets to be competitive, as competitive as possible. But does a competitive rebuild actually work against the long-term interests of the team? Does it lead a team to both hurt its draft prospects and bury some of its youth behind free agents as it tries to compete for a wild card run?

Osweiler, if the Browns cut or trade him for nothing overly significant I would be tempted. He is still young and if you don't have to pay him much I would be intrigued.
If he gets dumped, i agree. He'd be EXTREMELY CHEAP on a one year deal. He definetly wants to double dip as he's guaranteed the $16M from that horrendous Houston contract.
Teams knowing this will possibly offer him a $2M-$3M deal for the '17 season, if not cheaper.
Teams know Brock is a young player but may have already reached his ceiling. My gut feeling is that Mike will due his due dilligience on him by calling his old employer, due to the fact that he still has friends within the Houston organization. I'am more than sure he will call them to get the skinny on Brock on how he was as a member of the Texans team.
If Brock is signed, it shouldnt inhibit Mike from drafting another QB as good competition at that highly valued position goes a long way. My dark horse, Chad Kelly.
If I recall, it shouldn't matter what other teams offer Osweiler. He would get the full year's contract. It would only reduce the Browns' burden for this year. I don't see a team offering more than minimum for the year, and why should they? It makes no difference to Osweiler. Cleveland has to pay the difference.
i'm with those who would take an inexpensive flyer on osweiller..
I would say this, if petty and hack aren't ready, how does Romo hurt a rebuild? I'm not saying go sign a ton of vets to block the kids, but how much better is robbie Andersons progression if he has Romo throwing to him instead of hack throwing wild passes?
This is assuming mac isn't ready to rely on petty or hack as his starters this year.
Our line is younger,more athletic,and improved from what we've had the last 3 years. If Romo can groom our young offense, he will age out as petty and hack mature, or we draft a top prospect in the next 2 years. The rest of the team is able to grow until a franchise qb cab be secured.
This is highly unlikely, but with the pieces on this team, a pro bowl qb could make this team competitive as we grow younger.
The thing is, Romo by all accounts is super bowl or bust. I like his odds in Houston, Denver next. I don't think money is his motivator.

That's understandable. It's a philosophical decision based on how you think QBs should be handled. Should young guys sit like Aaron Rodgers, redshirting a few years to prepare for the starting role? Or is there no better experience for a QB than playing experience?
If you believe in the first, then a stopgap would be understandable.
Absolutely NO on Osweiller.
The Texans, who have everything in place at RB, WR, OL and a Defense traded him and gave away a 2nd rounder to do it. The Browns , who have the #1 pick in the draft, and do not have a QB are trying to deal or outright release him. I watched a few Texan games last year and this guy SUCKS.
I'd much rather watch Petty/ Hackenberg go for it then watch the big O-NO one hop receivers. If healthy, have Petty start the season. If by game 8 it looks like he isn't the answer, then go with Hackenberg. If he shows you something or nothing in live game action then at least you can go forward into the offseason knowing what you have and what you don't. If Petty or Hackenberg both stink up the joint the Jets probably have the #1 or #2 pick in the draft. That's where they should get that franchise QB, in 2018. If Petty or Hackenberg show they can do the job then you're a year or a half a year ahead of schedule.

Funny how everything will play out once Romo is signed by Denver.
There is simply no way Petty and Hack are the only QB's on the roster. It just won't happen. Bringing in Romo doesn't make any sense either. Trevor Siemien at least gives them a guy who has played in the NFL and can be 'thrown in' there to get them through games without killing his confidence/future. And he comes at the NFL minimum. In order to get him (the headache of) Sheldon goes to the Cowboys, Romo and a 4th goes to Broncos and Siemien and a third goes to the Jets.
If the Jets are not going to contend for the playoffs next year, which they aren't, they need to find out what they have on the roster particularly at QB, but at other positions too. If Hackenberg develops he should compete with Petty for the starting job. We'll never know what we have until these guys get some playing time. It's not about wins and losses for this team, it is about progress. Romo won't come here. He'll have better options when Dallas releases him. McCarron will take a draft pick and he's probably another stop gap.
If we are going to rebuild, let the kids play or draft another QB and get him ready to go this year. (Watson). If we don't go that route and Hackenberg and Petty don't show enough, then, next year take a QB in the first round of a deep QB class. The only thing complicating all of this is the future of Bowles. If he needs to win to keep his job, then he wants a stop gap QB that can win some games. If his job is secure then stick with the plan. If it's not secure, the Jets should have let him go last year and started rebuilding with a new coach. We have almost an entirely new staff anyway.
For me, I would like to see either Hackenberg, Petty or Qb we draft start this season.

I like Osweiler if they can reasonably attain him. He is young with a strong arm.
Look, I think he's nowhere near worth that contract, hated it from the start and believed HOU would come to regret it. But... I'll believe it when I see it. He's the best QB on their roster, would win the job over the other 2 easily, they have to pay him anyway, and they supposedly have the QB Whisperer as head coach. I don't see him being released.
Agree. I think you're only in the hook for $1MM of the $17MM
Just read this am that in game 16 last year for Texans, he got into a shoving match with O'Brien over having to replace the injured Tom Savage at halftime. He played, but that was the end for O'Brien and Texans with Osweiler.
Agreed one billion percent here. What's the point of rebuilding, if your not going to do it with a young QB. Young like Hack or Petty or a rookie they draft. Not any of these reject wash outs like Cutler or Osweiler or McCarien. These have proven they can't get the job done so why bother. Start fresh and new and let's see where we can get out of this. Rebuilding takes time and patience so let's do this correctly Jets.
I think Cleveland showed this year,that game experience isn't always the best way to learn. You can quickly destroy a good prospect of he's not ready, and seriously get other guys injured.

Rebuilding takes time and patience, so do certain qb prospects. We're not privy to where they are, but if they aren't ready to see the field, it's detrimental to plan on starting them.

Glennon gets 16 mill 1 year deal, not bad for the team. Get a year to see what he has. Cut him or keep him under current deal. Surprised the Jets weren't a stronger competitor for him, we have a better offense than the Bears.
Glennon will earn $16 million in cash for the Bears in 2017, including his $3 million signing bonus, $8 million salary and $5 million roster bonus. That would rank him somewhere around No. 20-25 in starting quarterback pay for 2017. The Bears can get out of the deal free and clear after one year, and even if they want to wait and see again in 2018, Glennon's only guaranteed money for next year would be a $2.5 million roster bonus the Bears would have to exercise by the third day of the 2018 league year. Assuming they plan to start Glennon in 2017, which they've said they do, their commitment to him is far from unreasonable.

Foles signs 2 year deal to re join eagles, I didn't see any numbers. The report insinuated chase daniels is on trading block now. Daniels contract is 8 mill this year and 7 mill next year. 7 mill of the 8 is guaranteed,so cutting him doesn't help Philly.
