DBilz2500 Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Jets main beat reporter just said Jets not currently pursuing him. 1
ngbills Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 To add: Yannick did not have a good year last year. The previous year he had 51 QB pressures - that was 4th in league. Up there with JJ Watt and Aaron Donald. That is more than Mario the last two years combined. Lawson led the Bills last year with 28. That is an elite pass rusher and what this team needs. 1

I would take issue with you for deliberately misrepresenting my position but I think it was probably just an honest mistake on your part, more of a reading comprehension issue. 2 2

Midwest1981 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Will be really interesting to find out where Yannick lands. In my mind I went through all 32 teams to find a hit factoring in the contracting cap (and which teams are already screwed in 2021, like the Eagles and Saints) and who has a need. Seattle would’ve made sense until they traded most of their high picks the next two drafts to the Jets for Jamal. Tennessee makes the most sense. But that’s an intra-divisional trade. Not that Jacksonville really cares where they finish this year. The Rams can always be counted on to make an irresponsible move they can’t really afford, cap and draft pick consequences be damned. Some have guessed Baltimore but that’s a middle finger to Judon, another franchised pass-rusher looking for his payday. 1
Doc Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 I'll say Seattle. They're looking for a replacement for Clowney.

Malazan Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Unfortunately, Joe Douglas seems competent so I doubt he makes this move. Just signing this guy to the massive contract he'll get is a mistake let alone any draft capital used for him.

John from Riverside Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 The question is.....does he instantly become our best pass rusher? If that answer is yes....then I would give up a 2nd

Since you can not sign him to a new contract, you may need to let him go or sign him to a second, expensive tag next year. Seems like high risk, moderate reward. Expand We’re in win now mode right? If he comes here on a one year deal, has 10+ sacks and helps the team go on a deep playoff possible Super Bowl run I would say a 2nd round pick is worth the one year rental. I don’t personally think yannick is a game changer or worth the 100 million he wants, I also don’t think the team needs him to make a deep run. But I couldn’t hate if they gave up a 2 and had him for this one season to make a push.
