BlaZeN37 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/03/16/kirk-cousins-minnesota-vikings-free-agent-contract ”Since the Smith trade, Cousins had spent a lot of time on Google researching his potential future teams. (“You can learn a lot just by typing peoples’ names into your search engine and researching their backgrounds and the roster and the records,” he notes.)” I specifically remember someone on this board talking about how Cousins’ could just google the Jets roster and do his own research. This killed me. Edited March 17, 2018 by BlaZeN37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like he’s 30 and we are talking 5 years ago. We are talking about a 25yr old guy here. I by all means am not saying give him a blank check. But certainly money shouldn’t be the issue here. 1. We have money 2. Skrine would get cut, creating 6mill in cap. So say he wants 10mill, he’s really only costing us 4mill. And the oppurtunity to sign a 25yr old multi all pro doesn’t happen often. We should be all over this. That being said. I doubt we sign him. I feel we would have already. He was really good. I still think he is good, if not really good. But saying he was the best defensive player those years is just not realistic. JJ Watt walked the earth still in 2015, and wasn't hurt like he has been lately. JJ Watt alive and well and not injured equals the best player in football at any position.

I think Macc didn't even try and get him. Like Skrine is some valuable piece or something. I think if we had an offer even less than what Houston has agreed with him he would have came here. Poor move by Macc. Skrine is garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnaby8787 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 We seriously can't get pissed every time we miss a guy. And to say that Mac wasn't in on him isn't fair either. He likely doesn't want to play for Bowles given their relationship OR doesn't want to be in the spotlight in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnaby8787 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Money clearly didn't matter to him. He's only making 7 mil this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnaby8787 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Also, it's the closest he can get to home (New Orleans) without playing for the Saints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBS756 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Well hope he’s awesome for them sucks we couldn’t get him but hopefully we have a plan on the rest of free agency and the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyt31 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 He probably just want to play safety and didn't see much of that happening with Adams and Maye. Plus he's close to home. We're Probably going to wait until after the draft to sign someone big now unless another big cut happens. Jets aren't really attached to anyone on the market right now.

rampantjet Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I really feel like the Jets like Skrine more than any of us do. I also think they are wrong to like him at all. I want him cut and I want Ross Cockrell, and our secondary will be pretty amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJets4716 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 We should really go sign Vinny Curry. Our edge rusher talent is awful, hes better than anyone available. This team is terrible at signing guys to get after the QB, we should be stacking that position but we always ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
