It's remarkable that Maccagnan let Myers and Roberts walk.

Funny that the consensus in the league seems to be that kickers are interchangeable to a great degree, but there are three teams trying to trade for a kicker in mid-August.

Conventional wisdom is to not pay guys like that coming off career years. I’m also not on board with trading for a kicker regardless of the low compensation.

The Jets had gently caress off cap space and couldn't find an extra three or four million to keep the two most important players from their best unit. Ask Matt Nagy how easy it is to find a dependable kicker!

Myers was trash the year before with the Jags. What makes you thinking kicking at 90% is now his norm? The vast majority of kickers are very replaceable and outside of 3-4 guys they generally have large swings in kicking percentage year to year.

Myers was fine in Jacksonville and I never implied he'd stay at 90%. There's a middle class of kickers that most NFL teams have and they're largely interchangeable from one another, but there's always like two or three teams each year that have their season torpedoed because they don't have anyone good at the position. The Jets are put themselves at risk at becoming one of those teams over like two million dollars worth of unused cap space.

Zero chance I’m tossing a 5th on a guy who has never kicked in an actual game. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1160617062244519938

And yeah, you give a 5 if there's nothing else out there. So, Jets are going to be competing with at least one other team for whoever is left now.

If kicker was an issue for me, and the guy could both kick and punt, I'd pay a 5th for an extra roster spot. I'll believe it when I see it though.

My wife and a bunch of my friends went to Colorado State for grad school and I used to go to most home games when we lived there. It’s cool and good seeing a few dudes actually be maybe NFL relevant since historically the team is hot garbage  (Preston Williams, Michael Gallup)

Omar Kelly is complaining that Williams should have been called for OPI on at very least on the first catch(the Josh Rosen prayer), but I don't think you can really say much other than "shut up nerd" to that. If your rookie WR knows how to muscle DBs out of the way to get space and isn't getting called for doing it, it's a good thing.

He said something to the effect of, "No one saw this coming." with regard to Williams. Then people started replying that there was some glowing praise of Williams from spring OTA's. Ever since then he's been tweeting forms of, "Oh yeah? Well I saw it too." and simultaneously stuff like, "You guys are too quick to crown him." Omar Kelly is an rear end!

Apparently he's a super nice guy IRL, to the point where I think it's probably like a brain-damaged version of a Woody Paige persona adapted to the South Florida market.

Try to find some dudes on the waiver wire. Some teams are pretty rich at that position and there might be good players available even if they couldn't start right away. A player swap at different positions could also work. Who knows if they'll really be so bad though. Still a while to get it together

I follow Omar on Twitter because sometimes I enjoy reading super negative perspectives on how the Dolphins are gonna be mediocre until the end of time. Then every day I think about unfollowing him because of his endless stories about how all the girls at the club want him and his boys, his weird devotion to Ritchie Incognito, and how he can retweet both pro-Trump and anti-Trump rhetoric in the same day because above all else he just want to be a contrarian.

The Jets are missing too many pieces to make a serious run. If you're going to overpay for a veteran, make it a lineman.

I don't think of this as a rebuilding season at all, that was last year. This should be a playoff caliber offense that could make a decent run at it if they don't have the worst secondary play in the NFL. Diva Cupcake posted:I agree.

The Jets are a borderline playoff team at best, that's assuming Darnold massively improves on his first season. I wouldn't say they're rebuilding but they're absolutely not good enough to be taking bad long term deals for the sake of winning now.

My thinking is that the difference between 10 wins and 7 wins in the NFL isn't that much. Why not go for it?

mcmagic posted:My thinking is that the difference between 10 wins and 7 wins in the NFL isn't that much. Why not go for it? Might be a bit wider than you think, because when I think of seven wins for the Jets I think "absolutely, I believe in Sam Darnold as a quarterback who can get it done" but when I think about a deep playoff run for the Jets I think "no loving way, the roster is about 8 starting players behind where it would need to be". Looking at teams like the Saints and Eagles, they barely have a weak spot in the entire starting roster. They even have multiple backups who would be unquestioned starters on the Jets. So I just don't think that the rest of the roster outside of Sam is ready. But Sam is the hardest piece to get so the rest is possible to attain. I do think they should be preparing to push the next couple years, this year is a stretch though.
