Brandon Marshall Traded to the Jets

[gettlemanjack]

New York Jets beat writer Connor Hughes @ Connor_J_Hughes

55m

Brandon Marshall is set to count $9.57m against 2015 salary

cap. If Jets cut Harvin, adding Marshall actually frees $1m.

SportsNet New York Jonas Schwartz @ Jonas_SNY

11m

Considering #Jets considerable cap room there is nothing not

to like about the #Jets giving up that kind of draft pick for

Brandon Marshall

Unless the Eagles trade up.

(as amazingly goofy as that sounds, Chip Kelly is a wild card)

Hey, I posted a thread in NFL room about 2 months ago saying that. Since he is now over personnel in Philly. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened. Everyone thinks he's happy with Foles, but that offense needs someone like Mariota to run it the way he wants. But I give credit to Foles, just don't think with the history Kelly has with Oregon plus the moves he's already made to get Oregon players that he passes Mariota up that easy.

That's why I posted that tweet.  A lot of people don't realize the baggage that comes with Marshall.  Of course he's a great receiver, and probably anyone would want him for that alone.  He's not very stable mentally though.  It's not that he's a psycho, but he does have a legit mental issue, that he battles every single day.  The "A Football Life" episode featuring Marshall was pretty eye opening.

Borderline personality disorder is no joke. It can seriously harm every relationship a sufferer has.

It would take a lot to trade up that high.

 

But I don't put it past him to try.  We are talking about someone who dumped the team's best receiver and best runningback in successive years.

 

Kelly has no shortage of confidence in himself and his system.

I have this sneaky suspicion that Gettledog surprises us this year with a really nice FA signing. 

 

Well it will be very interesting to see. We've yet to see his success in bringing in FAs that aren't bargain bin. I think we can be confident he won't overpay whoever we bring in. Would love Bulaga or Smith for a good price.

Dated somebody who I found out had that.

 

Would never ever do it again.

I will agree with that. The past couple years have been crazy in FA. I think k it only gets crazier, and I love it.

I have a feeling that his confidence will start falling off rapidly over the next few seasons.  Just don't see the college system working out too well, for very long.  Especially not in the post season.

Biggest problem is he's trying to run a system built for a team of 90 college kids using a team of 45 NFL veterans; some of whom are, shall we say, well past college age.

 

The quickness with which the offense gets off the field results in the Eagles wearing out their own defenders just as much as the opponent's guys.

 

Throw that in with the fact that opposing teams have now had a chance to adapt to what Kelly does, and there's definite potential for regression.

 

Guess we'll see.

Yeah didnt work well for the Redskins and Spurrier or Dolphins and Saben.

But what about the 49ers and Harb...oh wait

Absolutely.  Their defense will not be able to keep up, especially against teams that control the clock well on offense.  You see a lot more of those kinds of teams in the post season.  For that reason, I don't see them ever making it past the divisional round, if they even make it to the playoffs.
