jetskid007 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 QB is the only position I'd get on board giving out a mega-deal (Cousins). If that option is not available, just sign tons of solid players that won't require huge contracts. I'd rather have 10 position battles and excellent depth than I would sign 2-3 positional players that require large commitments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, in addition to a QB, the Jets need 1 or 2 elite players on both sides of the ball if they want to be serious contenders. He's also just 25 and, with Powell and McGuire, we won't have to run him to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the top RBs in the league the past few years... most of them 1st/2nd/3rd year players. I do think he'll be more like Michael Turner/LeSean McCoy than other free agent RBs who have fizzled out after FA, but at the same time, he wants to be paid $15 million per year. It's a lot of coin for one of the most injury--prone positions in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have a young back who can carry the ball 20+ a game and grind a defense down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO QB first and foremost, if I have to sacrifice Bell to get Cousins I'll do it every day. With the way offensive rules have changed the game I think it makes more sense to have young WRs and RBs that aren't high paid and spend big bucks on the positions that matter (QB/LT/CB/EDGE) I also think we will fill at least 2 of these (QB & CB) this offseason with the potential of the other 2. Obviously the QB situation and how the draft board falls will play a part in how we approach the other 2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsandI Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Bell going to Jets? That would be a stupid plan. He is not that good. Steelers' OL blocking has been excellent. Jets? ppffttt. Don't waste any cent on him. Just because Jets have one of the largest cap space for 2018 does not mean they have to pay top money to a player that has worked out well in different system from Jets. Just Cousins and a bunch of players on affordable prices would suffice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more $10-12/year for him. Assuming we don't land Cousins, having a player like Bell will help whichever rookie QB we start. Plus he will be a great safety net catching the ball out of the backfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking Bell as a phase two option if we don't land Cousins. Setting up an environment similar to what Seattle had when they first drafted Wilson. Have a great RB that can take the pressure off. But it's a moot point. I wouldn't do it at $15/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot of coin for one of the most injury--prone positions in the NFL. We’ve only drafted 2 RBs in the last 6 drafts with no higher pick than a late 4th Rounder. I feel we say this every year at RB, yet never actually draft a guy. It needs to be addressed. Anyone touching the ball 20+ times a game should be a quality pick. I agree that you can get talent in Rounds 2 and 3, but we’ve literally haven’t spent that high of a pick on a RB since Shonn Greene in the 3rd in 09 and Lamont Jordan in the 2nd in 01. I’m sorry but Powell and McGuire just aren’t enough to scare a defense. They’re role players that should touch the ball 5-10 times a game. And Powell isn’t getting any younger.

I'm just saying that I would rather draft a RB (that doesn't exclude 1st-3rd rounds) than spend $15+ million on Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
