Whoever rises to No 1 QB Draft status, for today let's say Matt Corral from Mississippi. The Jets at No 4 should try and get a team or two to trade up with them and add more picks to help them fill all their needs. 

There are 2-3 really strong Tackles for the OL but I don't see that listed as a big need for you all. Again you have Ekwonu, Cross and perhaps the best in Evan Neal that could all be staring at you and again you have teams you can dance with. Maybe Seattle would like to move up from 9 to 4 and make sure they get a QB they want. 

Kyle Hamilton is considered a HR at Safety, wouldn't let a 40 time at the combine deter you. But since I am a Miami fan, please don't draft that guy. 

The No 10 pick is again a spot you might be able to cash in on and slide back a few spots if somebody wants to give a nice sum to move up.

The money in the 1st this year IMHO is along the DL and OL, lot of what seems to be sure fire hits up and down. Secondary feels deeper than some years. What isn't deep is WR but you all got a terrific one last year. QB isn't elite this year but you already got one of those. RBs also underwhelm most. Skill position players are not in plentiful supply, it's the year to beef up both sides of the lines IMO. 

If you all need Safety and Cornerbacks, 4 and 10 you could walk out of there with a totally revamped Secondary.

Good post - Im a big fan of trading back and getting more picks. The Jets need playmakers and depth - I am fine with trading down at both #4 and #10 a few spots to add future 1st rders or day 2 picks.  The Jets coaching staff spent a week at the Sr Bowl and I am confident they have a lot of mid 1st rd players on their list that they love.  Both the #4 and #10 picks are right in front of teams needing a QB - if 2 can rise up the board they are in a great position to cash in.  rooting for QBs to start rising as there is a lot of need out there

 
All the articles Im reading keep reiterating how JD doesnt like to spend money in FA and to keep the money to re-sign home grown talent.  They are projected to be $115M under the cap ($130M when they cut Mosely) next year and no one to sign but Q.  They may wait to go nuts next year but they can definitely add a fat contract this year.  They are $48M under and probably need around $20M for picks and buffer so around $28M to spend - so Im expecting maybe one big splash then mostly bargain bin.  

Id like to see them grab one of the leftover top TEs and a CB but my one big splash Id love to see is Scherff at Guard.  Spotrac projects him to get just under $13M - would give them a huge upgrade and rise the OL to one of the better in the league to protect Wilson.  Also would free them up to not go OL in the draft.  At 30yrs old hes not "old" but would bring a solid vet presence to the O/OL.  

Any players that you guys are targeting or really want?  

 
Obviously they need to spend for a top safety. Marcus Williams is the name everyone has been throwing out there. He's obviously going to be VERY expensive.  I've always been a huge Tyrann Mathieu fan, but I have to think he goes to a contender. 

I think I'd prefer Tomlinson over Scherff if they're going to go for a guard. He's been much more durable and obviously played in the SF system.

I'm kind of a DJ Chark fan. Obviously coming off the injury, but he's got an elite size-speed combo and he's still really young. Definitely feel like there's untapped potential there.  If they're not gonna go WR at 10, he's a guy I wouldn't mind them gambling on.

TE clearly a need as well (and I do think they'll sign one) but I dont have a strong opinion on any of the guys who are left. I was hoping for a cheap gamble on Njouku. But ya know....Browns.  Maybe OJ Howard?

They do need a RB to pair with Carter, but I imagine that will be a later draft pick or a bargain bin signing.  Let the top guys get a little $ and then see who is left. As someone who he nearly carried to the fantasy title last year, I wouldn't totally hate a flyer on Rashaad Penny. But I imagine someone is going to pay him a decent deal that we wont want to match.

It would be kind of fun to see Gronkowski for a season or two - but there's likely a few reasons that won't happen. It's disappointing with the franchise tags handed out leaving the TE market sparse. A decent cheaper guy may be Tyler Conklin who filled in well for Irv Smith last season in Minny. He's not a dynamic player but a solid dependable short area player. I also think OJ Howard could be intriguing.

I do not see them spending money on RB and Penny is probably the most attractive back on the market. I think maybe they sign a veteran like Mostert and add another 4th/5th round bigger back.

Can't wait for free agency to open.

 
Yeah, I really have NO idea what the Penny market is going to look like. The Athletic has him as the 6th ranked RB on the market (behind Fournette, Patterson, Conner, Gordon and Edmonds) and there's only so many "big deals" (in terms of running backs) to go around.  But he's younger than all those guys and still has a lot of tread (due to all the time he's missed due to injury) so I guess I could see someone jumping in and offering him a nice 3 year deal. (gambling that he'll be healthy going forward). Not sure what team is in a position to do that. Likely wont be the Jets.

I do hope they do better than Tevin Coleman as that other back. Do your scouting work and find someone in the mid rounds, please.

 
Like the ideas so far - I dont think they spend that much on a safety - but if they do it would probably rule out drafting one.  

Love the OJ Howard idea - great pedigree - didnt seem to stay healthy or get a fair shake in TB.  

Any guard upgrade would make me happy.  

Cant see JD going big at RB - can see another depth signing and mid round pick.  

DJ Chark is interesting - was pretty good before injury - if cheap id be in.  

All quiet on Berrios front - read his agent wants $10M - I dont see anyone giving him that...could see him checking out the market and then coming back for a much more reasonable deal

I’d prefer Penny to any of those backs so hopefully they could get him cheaper if some of those RBs take the bigger contracts.

 
2 hours in and Jets not only with zero signings but some good talent is off the board (good OL talent is gone) and they lost Foley their run stuffer.  

Not shocked as JD does not overspend.  $10M for a run stuffer is too much - problem is if they lose Berrios as well who is rumored to be getting more than expected - Jets keep losing their own FAs.  Not great for locker room

Lots of solid players still out there - definite change from the days of Mac's big splashes in FA.   Completely the other way with JD which is fine but he's gotta hit on his draft picks and not whiff like 2020 class.  

stay tuned!  

 
Well last post didnt age well in 5 minutes!  boom lol

The #Jets are signing G Laken Tomlinson to a 3 year deal worth $40M, Max Value of $41.2M, $27M Guaranteed.

 
Jets agreed to terms with LG Laken Tomlinson, formerly of the 49ers, on a three-year, $40 million contract.

Tomlinson gets $27 million guaranteed. A once-failed first-rounder of the Lions at No. 28 overall in 2015, Tomlinson got a fresh start in San Francisco back in 2017 and ran with it to become a fixture on coach Kyle Shanahan's offensive line. In New York, Tomlinson goes somewhere he already knows the offense under former 49ers assistants Robert Saleh and OC Mike LaFleur. It should be a seamless transition and fills a massive need for the Jets.

Tomlinson made a ton of sense. Happy to get him. Good player,  durable, experienced zone blocker.

Pretty clear they were gonna let Foley walk. Good player, but apparently not an ideal scheme fit (I don't know jack about front 7 play,  but I'll take the experts word for it)

Love the Tomlinson signing. Their OL could be pretty badass this year.

Assuming Becton is heathy we are looking at the best OL since the Rex ground and pound days - 

Fant, AVT, Laken and Becton is a very solid OL - Center is still a bit iffy but McGovern is not bad. 

 
Nice follow up!  finally kept a FA - not a bad price at$6M

Jets are re-signing WR Braxton Berrios on a two-year, $12 million deal that includes $7 million fully guaranteed, per his agent

Love it. Really wanted him back and this contract is team friendly.

 
Berrios is a fine player but paying him  just seems like you paying to keep  Elijah Moore from being able to play the spot I think he's most optimal.

They're not paying him that much - plus he's a great special teams player.

Moore doesn't have to be a slot WR, but if he did - Berrios isn't keeping him off the field.

 
Reasonable number for berrios, as I hoped (9-10 mil was absurd). Not cheap for a 4th WR, but he brings value elsewhere (return game, gadget plays) and the continuity is worth something.

Good business for both sides,  IMO

 
Agree with Doc - they can move Elijah and Berrios all over - and there will be lots of 4 WR sets. I can see them adding another WR as well.  The more weapons the better...especially with how Jets always get hurt- few sets per game + depth at $6M and an All Pro returner is fine by me.

I'd like to see a mid-round speed WR added. 

 
The Tomlinson signing pretty much takes OL off the table for #4 - could possibly go Linderbaum at #10 or trade down but doubtful.  Berrios gives them a little buffer but I still think they add a WR in the 1st or 2d rd.  

#4 looking more and more like a pass rusher or CB.

Man - not sure what Kirk has done to deserve that kind of deal!  Id rather have Berrios at $6M lol - draft is the way to go for a WR if thtas the market

Yes - that's just idiotic and franchise crippling for a league average WR. I agree that drafting a guy just makes way more economic sense. 

 
Tomlinson and Berrios are both really, really good signings. 

Moore might be better out of the slot and that might be his full potential, but from a team point of view and and not a fantasy one, the deal for Berrios makes ultra sense and is a good signing. 

 
What I like the most about what Joe Douglas is doing (even if he doesn't ultimately survive it) is that right now even if Zach Wilson is a bust - and lets face it we don't really know yet - this team will be built up on the line and at the skill players for a 2023 rookie or free agent QB. Even if the Jets aren't terrible enough under a hypothetical bust season from Wilson, they have the ammo to move up if there's a "can't miss QB" in the draft. I mean what he's doing is really blueprint. If Zach actually improves from his nice end to the season, all the better of course.

 
So Cedrick Wilson signed for a little over $7MM a year. Without getting into whether Wilson is better than Berrios or not, it does make me feel like the Berrios deal was a team friendly one - not that Berrios didn't do well for what he is, as well.

 
These receivers signing for what they're signing for does indeed lead me to believe that Berrios's signing was an excellent one, which is what I first thought. 

He was their best skill player last year. That type of stuff, no matter how depleted one is, should get rewarded. It's like holding guys in dynasty based on actual performance rather than perceived value. 

Good move for the Jets. Let's hope he can stay healthy. 

 
Jets expressed a lot of interest in Conner, per my Twitter feed. They might be in the market for another back, most likely a two-down guy. Be interesting to see what they do at that position. I'm thinking somebody with pure speed to the edge because that's how SF does it, but we'll see. If they were that interested in Conner, then maybe that's not the end-all be-all of their preference at that position. 

First day of free agency Jax did what NE did last year. Sign a bunch of mediocre guys to huge contracts. Glad the Jets stayed away from doing that. 

 
Yeah, Uzomah isn't a world beater, but he's solid. They can still draft someone with more explosive potential (like McBride) if they're available.

Had to be done. Wouldn't be my first choice, but the top guys got tagged and nobody that was left was a sure thing.

I had him on my short list - He's already the best TE the Jets have had in over 20 yrs...add a rookie and this offense is legit.  

 
Also re-signed Tevin Coleman. Like it from a veteran depth perspective, not as much as a Michael Carter keeper owner. Saleh seems to like him some TC back to their Niners days.

You should like it as a Michael Carter owner if they only add Coleman this off-season.

Yes he’s athletic with nice size. It’s a low bar but I think you’re probably right. ASJ may be comparable from a talent standpoint but C.J. is much more of a professional and not a known headcase.

 
rumors that JD is going big game hunting with Marcus Williams.  Definitely need a safety and he is a stud - but thats a lot of $ to commit to that position...Id rather go in another direction but they do need playmakers and this kid is in his prime and a good one.  Its likely his agent using the Jets as usual but you never know.  

 
agent clearly was using the Jets and Im glad this time - way too much IMO - plus they would have to beat that deal by a lot to get him to choose Jets over Ravens..

should have room for another solid signing or 2 but likely more depth.  

 
We have a corner back!!

Not a cheap deal, but he graded out well and Saleh knows him. Smaller guy, but good against the run

The draft day picture gets clearer. OL and corner probably off the table at 4 (Unless they just don't believe in becton). Maybe linderbaum still an option at 10.
