Fascinated about how things actually go down. I wonder how much time teams have to give themselves to get the info to the league by 4pm. Do teams put an artificial deadline like 3:45 to submit your best offer? Must be a complete frenzy from about now until 4pm. We only hear about the finished deal.
More like they saw the Dolphins let Pittsburgh walk into the end zone on 3rd and 22 after running out to a 14-3 lead. They realize they gotta up the ante in the race to the bottom.
Allen is too physically gifted to ever end up a game manager. It’s all or nothing with him. If he cuts down on the turnovers and learns to play winning football he’s a top 5 QB. If he continues the soul crushing turnovers and doesn’t learn to move the chains, he’s out of the League after a stint with the Raiders.
Are we in that different of a situation than the Bears? I guess you gotta give Allen the rest of the year, but I’d absolutely go after Dalton in the off-season if Allen doesn’t progress.
Bell is better than Gordon and signed for the next 3 years with $13m in guarantees. Gordon is gonna cost at least that much to re-sign. Jets will get a 2nd rounder or better for Bell if they move him. Chargers will be lucky to get more than 5th rounder for Gordon.
But Chiefs will beat everyone to the punch and we’ll end up trading a 7th rounded for the Chiefs 3rd string back.
There’s only $13m in guarantees going forward. That is a deal for a top 5 RB. Jets already paid half of his guarantees. You will have to pay Gordon more guaranteed money to re-sign him and he’s not as good as Bell. Jets took most of the risk. I’d give up a 2nd rounder for him.
Dead cap is if you cut him. Different ramifications if you trade. Team trading for him assumes the guarantees for unpaid money. If jets cut him, they are in hook for unpaid guarantees.
I’ll concede it’s hard to trade for another RB based on the offense’s usage of the position this year. But I guess I’m giving McDermott and his coaching staff the benefit of the doubt. I think they’d use their RB’s more if they had more faith in them.
I think Gordon makes the most sense. Gore is on borrowed time and they clearly think Singletary is a change of pace guy. Allen needs an upper echelon RB who isn’t one dimensional. Gordon is available.
Yes. We need a better RB. I’d argue it’s our #1 need. We need to run the ball and have Allen make a few big plays a game. Allen is not consistent enough to rely on as much as we have.
Giants must think they can re-sign him. Otherwise it makes no sense. Giants are going nowhere this year and L Williams is a free agent after this year.
