2019-20 New York Jets season thread. 1-4 (10/21 vs NE MNF)

RG3 and the New York spotlight is a bad mix, man

 

[rillo561]

Doubt he signs here.

Very surprised we weren't awarded any compensatory picks for losing Snacks.

NFL awards 33 compensatory picks to 13 teams for 2016 draft

Edit: NVM, it would be awarded next season. I should have realized.

QB Robert Griffin III had dinner with Jets officials last night, and is meeting with the team again today at the facility, per sources.

Reading also it's to have leverage against Fitz, but Bob would come at such a cheap price w/ upside that I could see them giving Fitz the finger and moving on. Hope not though.

this is probably the best situation for RGIII to get his career back on track if we're serious about letting Fitz walk.

i actually agree. i hope Bob gets another shot and i'd love to see him get back on track. just hope it's not with y'all


but having a nice run game and defense to fall back on is the perfect chance for him to make a comeback

Jets star Brandon Marshall doesn't want to consider life without Fitz

At the end of the season, Brandon Marshall was convinced Ryan Fitzpatrick would re-sign with the New York Jets, saying, "He's definitely coming back."

He doesn't sound so sure anymore.

On Friday, Marshall spoke of his affinity for the free-agent quarterback, praising his intangibles. In doing so, he acknowledged for the first time that the thought of Fitzpatrick playing elsewhere has crept into his mind.

"The way we communicate, the way we practice together, the way we bring other guys together, I’ve never seen that anywhere else -- and I’ve been a lot of places and I’ve had a lot of quarterbacks,” Marshall said Friday on "The Rich Eisen Show."

“That’s the toughest thing for me when I think about him potentially putting on another jersey," the Pro Bowl wide receiver said. "What we had and what we have is hard to create. It took us almost a year to do that; well, six months to do that. Most of the time, it takes guys a couple of years. We feel like we’re really close. We have a great defense. We have a consistent offense. We have great coaches. All we need to do now is continue to get more reps with the same guys.”

Fitzpatrick remains unsigned, locked in a stalemate with the Jets. They're far apart in negotiations. The Jets, exploring contingency options, hosted free agent Robert Griffin III on a Friday/Saturday recruiting visit. "An interesting development," Marshall said of the RG III visit.

Marshall spoke glowingly of the Jets' biggest offseason addition, running back Matt Forte. He knows him well, as they played together for three seasons in Chicago.

“He’s the most underrated running back in the history of our game,” Marshall said. “Most people say the last eight years since he’s been in the league. In the history of football, he’s the most underrated running back ever, ever.”

I love that Fitz would randomly text the offense plays & what to do in certain situations.

Hope he realizes what we have going on here so we don't have to go through another offseason of QB controversy.

Marshall was in love with Cutler before he played with Fitz. Son is just loyal to a fault

 

[John00]

Like I said, Fitz needs to come to his senses and sign that deal! This GM is not going to wait for him to play around.

Didn't he actually dislike Cutler and that's why he was unhappy in Chicago?

Forte's wearing #22 if anyone wants to order a jersey or shirt

I refuse to get a current players name on any apparel I've had bad luck in the past.

Kim Martin is saying we're expected to sign NT Steve McLendon to replace Harrison. When the deal gets finalized it'll be 3/$12M, don't know the guaranteed $$.

Steelers fans loved him so hopefully he could come close to Snacks' production at a fraction of the cost.

 

[fenixconnexion.]

If that's true I'm all for it...

 

[fenixconnexion.]

We re-signed Kellen Davis... WHY?!

 

[rillo561]

Amen.

Don't know much about McLendon, but hopefully it works out.

Browns with a solid under the radar signing in LB Demario Davis (as @BrianCoz said). Two years, $8m with $4m guaranteed.

Figured he'd be a goner. Won't be sorely missed.

 

[thejet]

We re-signed Kellen Davis... WHY?!

there's an emphasis on blocking in Chan's scheme. Reason why Quincy Enunwa's role was important as well. Also reason why (before injury), Jace Amaro's role was significantly reduced.

 

[rillo561]

Agreed, terrible at coverage and way too many missed tackles. Peace!

 

[nick.]

we signed DL Jarvis Jenkins to a 2/$7M deal ($3M guaranteed)

don't know much about him, assuming it's for depth

 

[rillo561]

Two DL signings probably means Wilkerson will be traded at some point.

That injury at the end of the season didn't help him much. I feel for Mo too, because I really liked him over the years.

gotcha, Davis is better than Cumberland?

 

[thejet]

 in terms of blocking, yeah.

Although Cumberland was supposed to be a better receiving TE who can stretch the field. 

Guy couldn't stay healthy.
