Greg S Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 (19) Ian Rapoport on Twitter: "The #Jets are giving OT Duane Brown a 2-year deal worth $22M, source said. A significant investment in a key position." / Twitter He is 37 but a 5 time pro bowler. Becton's replacement. Quote

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) He already had a signigicant decline in play last year, allowing 8 sacks. At age 37, a further decline in play is inevitable. Brown did the right thing by waiting for a desperate team. Edited August 11, 2022 by Allen2Diggs 3 Quote

I think signing him is a good idea for them, but they should really see what they have in Mitchell. Also, I expect it's really a 1 year deal and 2 years for cap. Somehow, the Jets have eliminated their ample cap space to field a roster that will likely be 3rd in the division, at best. 1 Quote
TheWeatherMan Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 Jets had $8.9M cap space before this move. It will be interesting to see how back loaded this contract is. The only major savings they have is cutting Sheldon Rankins which saves $5M. How can this team be that awful, have a QB on a rookie contract and still be up against the cap? 🤮 ✈️ 4 Quote

Bill from NYC Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 They are a historically stupid franchise. Those idiots passed on OT Evan Neal in the 2022 draft, only to opt for a CB from Cincinnatti (of all places) at #4. What made it even worse, the Giants were able to draft Neal. What absolute morons!!! 1 Quote

Not that I'm saying they are bad players just seems a risky plan. 2 Quote

FA signings included Chirs Ivory, Vontae Davis, Trent Murphy, Star, Bodine, Newhouse, a rookie QB, no cap money, and finished 6-10.... Quote

I don’t even know who John Franklin Myers is Quote

The Bills weren't awful, having made the playoffs the year before. Meanwhile they had a lot of dead money in 2018 getting rid of the non-process players. 1 Quote
