Rich51 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 It was a good or at least necessary trade. We're not playoff contenders and we probably would have let Sheldon walk after this season anyway. Seattles definitely got the better player. And I wish Sheldon well and hope he gets into the Super Bowl. Kearse is nothing special but he is young and comes from a quality organization. I have no idea what will happen with the pick. Will we keep it or use it to trade up or trade down. I wish I could say I have confidence that we'll do the right thing, but I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 No reason to be excited consider this team hasn't drafted well since 2011 and before that 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDORRETURNS Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I believe in the Jets. And I believe that the Jets believe in the Jets. And I know for a fact that the Jets' belief in themselves and us believing in them makes them believe that they believe in us. That being said, rhe Jets will go 1 and 15 this year with the players they have on their roster, especially after this trade. Unfortunately it was the right move to make although we lose out in player value, maybe we pick a QB in the second/third? round next year that doesnt hit sideline reporters on fade routes. Heres to 2018 fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris Smith Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 It's always sad to see a player your team drafts and develops not sign a second contract. I'd be worried about paying Richardson though.However, I'm worried about Mo as well. I guess a late second is as good as could be hoped for. Kearse is fine too, but they probably were going to cut him anyway. At least it's a veteran on the field for the WR group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby816 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 2 hours ago, Abe56 said: That is irrelevant though. Richardson wasn't a bust, he was a good player, but had a lot of off field issues and played a position where the Jets currently have their most talent. So instead of just playing him here in a lost season and lose him for nothing, Jets were smartly proactive to get a good value for him now. Cant worry about what happened in the past, gotta keep planning for the future. When a 26yr old 1st rounder isn't on your roster something went wrong. Blame it on what you want. Drafting Leo, etc. But fact is... we are clueless in drafting. That's why I have no confidence in a rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Sheldon but Leo has the better attitude and will ultimately be the better player IMO. He's also locked in for 3 more years on a cheap deal.

rickyt31 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Having the extra 2nd is huge this year. Now we're looking at 1,2,2,3,4,5,5 (Dallas),6,7 . There is so much we can do with that, especially at QB, LT, RB, and Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo for me was an example of that. Vic Beasley would've not been a reach pick at all that draft and would've given us a true edge rusher we haven't had since Abraham.

doumeyer Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 This is the reason we are a lousy team right now. Look at these pathetic high draft picks. It is to early to grade the 2017 draft picks. From 2012 thru 2016. check this out. 2016 rd1 Lee has shown very little has good speed, not ready to call him a mistake rd2 Hackenberg still on the sidelines rd3 Jenkins done very little 2015 rd1 Leo Williams fell in out lap, very solid player rd2 Devin Smith gone, even when he was healthy he couldn't make the starting lineup rd3 Mauldin has been in limbo since we drafted him 2014 rd1 Pryor a huge mistake rd2 Amaro gone, another big disappointment rd 3 Mc Dougle gone 2013 rd 1 Dee Millner flat out bust rd2 Sheldon Richardson strong player but he is gone for a so so receiver and another draft pick that Macc will probably give away like this year. rd3 Geno Smith Not calling him a bad pick, he player with no wide receivers and is now a Giant. 2012 rd 1 Coples The guy was another bust RD 2 Stephen Hill flat out bust, had two TD catches in his very first game did nothing after that and is long gone rd 3 Davis hung around for a while but did next to nothing.. THIS IS WHY WE SUCK RIGHT NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famousj Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 This trade helps both teams out. The Jets get more draft collateral to work with. The Seahawks just improved their DL immensely. I an glad the Jets were able to get a 2nd round pick. Jermaine Kearse was the 4th WR in Seatlle. He is just holding a spot until the rookie WRs get up to speed.

I think if someone offered us any draft capitol for Kearse we'd take it (and should) haha it's nice to have a vet WR but I think got the 2nd rounder because we took on his contract. Much like the Brock deal with the Browns, great move IMO. I think we'll start to see bad teams do more deals like this, they get better draft picks while letting competing teams drop bad salary players to sign better players. I'm genuinely excited for next offseason, we are going to go heavy offense for the first time in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag68Sid87 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Love the trade. Richardson had a great camp, which is probably how we were able to secure a second rounder. So, tip of the hat to him because he could have dogged it but instead balled out this camp. I think this trade helps everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
