You guys got a good one in Uzomah. He’s just an average TE, but he’s an amazing leader and locker room guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Tevin Coleman was a nice signing. Useful rotation back. Another Bilal Powell type Tomlinson fits the profile well of the player Joe Douglas wants. A monster in the trenches and can stay on the field. And we got him at a good price. Uzomah...he is 29 which worries me a bit. But his size makes him a matchup nightmare especially in the redzone. He's a big yac guy which is something the Jets org values a great deal as well. I dodn't think the Jets are done at the TE position either as I can see them picking up McBride in the draft (or someone else) And good to see Berrios back too. Thought some idiot team would overpay mightily for him but we got him back at a good rate Now we need to upgrade the secondary. Would love to see either Marcus Williams or Stephen Gilmore Edited March 15, 2022 by '7' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Joe apparently signed two guys for the secondary today while I was in jury duty lol...DJ Reed from Seattle and a safety from Tampa Bay, both short-term deals but both are younger guys too.

'7' Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Jordan Whitehead is the guy from Tampa. Solid player. Nothing spectacular but both still very young and important upgrades for us. Jets are starting to look like a competent team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Interestingly Connor Hughes is saying they have not closed the door yet on Marcus Maye...so we'll see what transpires there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 And that's why, Marcus Williams to Baltimore. 5 years 70 mil (14 mil a year! That's excellent. Where were we?) Happy with Whitehead but a bit confused on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Simple, Douglas wants to get a lot of B+ and B FA's but he isn't going to Goldman Sachs for the A-list shopping. Which isn't generally a terrible approach to FA, especially when you have multiple needs to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're ever at the point where he absolutely needs to add a finishing touch somewhere, and the team is close...I feel he will ante up and not walk away when a player has exceeded the value tag that the Jets have pegged him with. Douglas approach sort of reminds me of Lou when he was with the Devils. Stingy and not willing to pay a penny more than what he feels your worth is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) The Conklin signing surprised me. No idea they were in on another TE. Conklin is a very athletic guy coming off a career best 61 catch season. Watching him play he sometimes really looks WR-ish when making plays on the ball especially near the sidelines and making plays on contested balls. So we're pretty much set at that position and now it's looking doubtful they'll go for McBride in the draft. TE position is totally set for 2022, just gotta hope both stay healthy Edited March 17, 2022 by '7' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Looks like Douglas is trying to join the all in mentality of NFL GM’s this offseason Figures it has to be us or the damn Fish, guess the 2022 season is starting now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Hill is from Georgia so figure Miami will be his preference. And I'm not very excited about potentially giving up two first rounders for him He's an elite talent though, still in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn't it have been Jacksonville or Tampa? Especially since both teams have done a lot of little moves to build up their offense - they signed a couple of linemen as did we, they signed a couple of RB's and another WR, we signed a couple of TE's and Hill was basically going to be the capper on a great offseason for either team building up their offense around a young QB. Now it feels like the Jets are running in place as all these other teams around us continue to get MUCH better, including the Bills' signing of Von Miller a few days ago. In a way it sucks even more knowing we wouldn't have had to give up a first-rounder if he had chosen us, since the agreed-upon deal was both our high #2's and a #3 for Hill and a 4th I think.

NJDevs4978 Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 Apparently the #10 OA for Metcalf was never on the table cause Metcalf wasn’t (and isn’t available), oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Metcalf is only 24, so yea when they're ready to compete again he'll still be right in his prime...he'll also want to be paid and paid a ton after the 2022 season. It makes so much sense for them to deal him I still don't believe this...I think he's available but after the Adams swindle, they want to make sure that if they're dealing with the Jets that they squeeze every last drop out of them in terms of assets Edited April 7, 2022 by '7' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 So apparently Deebo Samuel wants out of SF…given the Saleh connection and the lengths we were willing to go for Hill I’m sure we’ll be in on the bidding here too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
