Trading a Franchise tagged Mo or Sheldon on the last year of his contract is the one wild cards that can't really be accounted for. It would just take the perfect storm for one of those trades to work out.
I'd much rather see them lock up Mo Wilks longterm than bring in another top corner. The Jets already have Revis, they don't need 2 corners that good. The jets just need a decent one to compliment him, not another $12-14 million guy. Save the money to resign Mo Wilks and Chris Ivory. Fitz should get a raise as well and Powell should be extended. Mike can address the OL and LB via the draft.
Norman deserves Revis money. How the hell you gonna pay Revis Revis money and Norman Idk where they stand in the salary cap but if I were a team like the eagles, with that shitty defense, knowing you got to play Beckham Jr. Twice a year for 10 years and seeing how Norman made him his bitch, id break the bank for him
I'll go back and say it once again. Williams has 6 picks, but his snap count is way down. The guy averages about 10-15 snaps a game where as Cromartie averages about 65+. The more Williams plays, the more he gets exposed.
For all those that say to "just address OL in the draft" please remember Vladimir Ducasse, and how he was always just one more year away from being an all-pro. I think for us to resign Ivory it's going to take him giving us the hometown discount for a sub $6m/year contract. This is an area we can address in the draft or with an FA like Lamar Miller who is 3 years younger and will likely be cheaper.
I have no interest in us resigning Ivory. Resign Powell. Draft a RB and bring in a veteran at minimum.
And then when Powell gets busted for PEDs, the veteran looks like Steven Ridley and the rookie sucks, we will regret that plan
None of this will be possible without help on the OL. I honestly would rather draft a RG and RT to throw to the wolves immediately over paying Breno $5.1m in 2016
This sounds legit since Giacomini is utter shit and having a rookie RT would be the same if bad, and much better if he's any good.
Y'all know I was a big Revis fan during his whole FA debacle and while I am one that believes an elite CB (a CB that eliminates the #1 WR) changes the field dynamics and impacts a defense greatly.. I've always said, The Best CB's actually play D-Line. A guy Like Mo allows you to scheme better in the secondary. We have to keep him...and Sheldon also. Hey, remember when some of you were saying it was impossible to keep Cro AND Revis? Funny how things worked out huh? The GM Makes it happen....period!
Fully agree with signing our studs first..i.e Mo and Snacks. Retain the core to the largest extent possible. Restructure Cro and Debrick. Keep Billal. If there is a chance to splurge on free agency I say OT, or OG. Supplement with the draft.
Well at the time it probably would've been impossible to keep them. We were in utter cap hell when we traded him. We're about to enter the same conundrum in it being impossible to keep Mo and Sheldon.
