Joe Douglas the next week

Damn, I didn't realize Joe Douglas was such a big fan of @Poeman's posts. That was quick!

 

Someone in the organization must've alerted him to this thread.

 

If he's healthy he's a good pickup.

 

So, maybe some oline help incoming?

 

Obviously Montgomery's not going to happen after trading for Robinson, but I think this is worth pointing out regardless.

1. Comp picks are based on how many FA's you lose AND how many FA's you sign.

2. Salary is a component of it. Considering the way RB has been devalued, that's definitely worth noting.

The best/most prominent comparable to Montgomery would probably be Melvin Gordon is 2021. Based on OverTheCap's tracker, losing Gordon to Denver at $8 million AAV would have been a 5th rounder, that the Chargers didn't get since it was negated by their signing of Bryan Bulaga.

IF the Jets weren't active in FA, renting Montgomery might have netted a pick at the end of round 5 in 2024.

We haven’t seen JD work yet as GM of a contending team. If the Robinson trade is any indication who knows what else we may have in store by Nov 1.

 

Confirmed: JD has an account here on TGG! haha

Well done @Poeman for exposing this.
