Shefty tweet Bridgewater to Saints

Agreed!!!
Which is smart because Jets fans suck.
That very well could be the plan.. We'll see soon enough. Only thing is Mack will eat up a chunk of our money which hopefully has been ear marked for o line. I would love to have someone that could actually get to Brady before he retires. That's for darn sure.
but protecting Darnold has to be #1 priority or this whole thing is for nothing. How did Indy enjoy their franchise qb last season. Don't want to make the mistake they made
This could have been done now to get the extra pick to package for Mack. That would make sense then
The Jets have a ton of cap space coming. Mack would eat up a good chunk, but we’d still have enough left for a quality FA offensive lineman or two.
And Khalil Mack’s remaining prime years as an elite pass rusher would coincide with Darnold’s first contract.
i must have bumped my head, because i completely agree with you..
I’m just glad Kirk Cousins didn’t accept 90 million guaranteed from the Jets.
True. That makes it seem more affordable. HOpefully Darnold becomes elite during those years

Are you listening to WFAN
I had been thinking about this earlier today, before news of the Bridgewater deal broke. The Jets dodged a major bullet with Cousins picking Minnesota. Not that he's not a good QB, but they are better off now than they would have been if they had signed him.
No question Cousins is a quality QB. I supported going all out for him when the Jets were sitting at #6 and probably going to have to settle for the 3rd or 4th best QB in the draft class.
But the Indy trade and subsequent Darnold pick changed everything. That turned out to be “Plan B” and actually put the team in a better spot. Darnold’s ceiling is higher than Cousins.
And 90 million guaranteed. That is an insane contract. Cousins gets hurt, he still gets all of that money.
Considering most figured the Jets would get a 4th, a 3rd isn’t too bad. Teddy was going to sit behind Sam, and if he got hurt or struggled replacing Darnold, we would’ve lost him to FA next year and got nothing. And with this roster, not even Bridgewater could’ve pushed the Jets over the 9 win mark, IMO.
I have been waiting for someone to get it....good job CH This is the reason folks
This. And, as someone posted, give Pryor some reps, too. Might be interesting, although since he went to THE Ohio State University, they'd have to keep his playbook pretty simple.
Later
You really think this is the basis for trading Bridgewater?
Do you guys watch the X Files?
I wanted to holdout till the trade deadline if necessary, then perhaps get a 2 if some team lost their starting QB
That said, I can live with the 3, even though its almost certainly going to be a late 3, but I don’t see why we had to send back a 6
Just as a matter of principle, I would not have sent back a 6
If that was a deal killer, then so be it.
