jetfuel34 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I wake up to a Taylor and a G signing. Not bad but we still need Smith if not Smith than J. Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan4life51 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Solid signing with Simpson, but why can’t we put AVT at LG?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJerseypaint Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Simpson is doodoo but Kinlaw could work out - and Tyrod is a very solid back up. Really need to add an OL and WR to keep the draft open for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 The real question is have the Jets made themselves better. The Simpson signing is a good start for the OL, but as much as I like the QB signing Taylor doesn't inspire confidence should Rodgers miss crucial games down the stretch. Kinlaw is a good signing. But JD has followed a pattern of looking for value as opposed to filling an obvious need with quality. The OL is a prime example, you don't protect your greatest wealth with security guards. You hire professionals to guard the gold. JD hasn't done that with AR, granted many FA T/G have been demonstrably over paid. This OL will not be truly complete for a few years. The question must be answered as to how many years doest a 40 something QB have left with a value OL in front of him? If the Jets pass on an OL in the first round, we can expect an entire overhaul come 2025 especially if the pieces JD is signing in FA turn out to be a bust. JD is counting on his own ability as well as others to get this right. But history has shown us as far as JD is concerned his FA track record is less than admirable. JD has allowed Moses, Fant, and other one year rentals to move on, and his OL picks in the draft have been injured for 2 out of the 3-4 years that they have played. Drafting OL in the 5th round or 4th round has been a disaster for this GM. Lets hope the Jets can land a starting T and G in FA. Drafting the best WR in the world is useless if your QB is on his bumm 70% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetfan8178 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Sadly with the cap space we have this is likely as good as it gets. we essentially swapped Tomlinson for Simpson for the same cost. Its a gamble if he can perform better. Taylor may not be a sexy pick for a backup but would you rather have simien or wilson? no thanks And I called kinlaw months ago. he can be a beast next to Q. I only hope we dont have him for just 1 year and then lose him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianconero Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 We'll see what happens today, but holy **** what a joke of an approach to start FA. I don't have to make the same point that has been made 100x over re: Huff, but as a GM who has very few wins to hang their hat on, letting your poster-boy home grown talent walk for nothing (and at a decent price) is a colossal fail. Not only that - but while he stinks, cutting your only consistently healthy OL to then sit out on a strong guard market that, let's be clear, Joe was entirely unprepared for contract-wise, is another - colossal fail. Every ounce of confidence that this fan-base had in this regime is assuredly gone - the mix messages from going "all out" to get Aaron Rodgers, just to bargain bin shop around him is the simplest recipe for disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrade Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Not understanding all the dislike for Simpson. He allowed 1 sack last year and was the 20th best OG according to PFF. He had 11 penalties, but overall not a bad OG. He is a massive upgrade over Tomlinson. Has Kinlaw ever been good? Just as he was starting to get a feel for the game, he tears his ACL missing almost all 2021 and 2022. Last year he had 3.5 sacks and 4 TFL. Jefferson had 6 sacks and 4 TFL. Why not resign Jefferson unless he can't pass a physical or want too much $? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You expect to get more from Kinlaw than jefferson for the same, or less money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We literally would not have been able to afford any other free agents had we tried to sign him. The chance at getting a 3rd or 4th in compensation was best case scenario.

In reality, it is an absolute cluster**** of asset management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really love the way pass rush win rates are calculated, and PFF grades are a collection of subjective grades done but numerous people that may or may not know what they're talking about. I don't know a ton about him aside from seeing some quick analysis clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
