why would the Jets trade away anything for a player who will be cut?

Because a 7 might be worth getting him a day earlier with no negotiation or competition?

@JasonLaCanfora: With Tyrod Taylor returning, Bills may not keep Josh Johnson much longer. He's been in Jets system. Would make sense as a stopgap

If anything, why wouldnt they wait and see if we cut him first? Geno's injury doesnt sound that bad so they could prolly afford to wait it out.

 

Plus they have Petty. It's not like the sky is falling

to get him on a plane ASAP? They have a game in 6 days

depends on how bad it is, but he's not 100% - they would need a backup. Clearly not confident in Petty or they wouldn't be trying to make a trade

Whos says the Bills cut him? They could keep him til wednesday (or the day after the trade deadline) and the Jets could have to find someone else who has not been in their system and knows the playbook?

 

Chances are they don't really care cause we are talking about players the level of Street FA stop gap player who won't see the field unless theres one more injury. I'm sure if the Jets don't want to waste a 7th they could find someone just as mediocre to hold a clip board............

If both Geno and Fitz are out, the Jets will need another QB on the roster regardless if they think Petty is ready. Can't go into a game with only one active QB on the roster

right - I was assuming that Geno can play with his injuries like he says he can - but he's clearly banged up and he doesn't know how to slide either - it's like he initiates contact.

I agree, a 7th rounder for essentially a street FA is a waste.

 

I could see the Bills holding back on releasing Johnson or trading him to a divisional opponent that we have two games against.

Could we keep collecting castoff QB's, trade them, and eventually own the entire 7th round?

I think you're on to something. Anybody got Tebow and Mallet's phone number?
