Calvin Pryor skips Jets OTAs, hopefully gets released

I don't understand what they're doing here. If the guy is unhappy and likely to cause lockerroom issues and you've already tried to trade him and found no takers, just cut him already. It's the best thing for both parties.

I'd still give our 6th for their 7th next year and Pryor.  Considering they'll be picking at the beginning of every round and us at the end, he'd be a cheap one year tryout in that scenario.  Then we can either extend him or let him go and work for us in the comp formula.

I feel like the Jets are hoping someone will offer something for him in a trade, but that obviously isn't going to happen now that the draft has passed. It does seem like he will get released, and I agree I don't see anything to be gained by prolonging the inevitable.

 

Doubt the Panthers bring anyone in until after training camp starts. Seems like they really want to give Marlowe and Blechen a chance to prove themselves before we look at anyone else.

If he doesn't want to be a back up for the Jets why would he come here to be a back up?

You're right, we should have taken Adams at 8.  Oh wait...

The reasons are many.  Who's to say he'd be a backup?  Golden opportunity to at a minimum stake a claim for 2018 and beyond.  He'd be out of New York, back in the south, with the best front 7 in football in front of him, and on a Super Bowl contender.

I just dont see him as the type to come here, sit behind someone for a season, and then hope to start next season. And I do not think he fits in with our locker room. He is seen as an underacheiver, and is said to have a bad attitude.

Maybe because one of our starting safeties is damn near old enough to collect social security and might break a hip in training camp?

Exaggeration doesn't help the argument.

Matt Kalil was an underachiever too. This regime liked Pryor before the 2014 draft.

Maybe underacheiver was not the right word. Jets fans are basically saying good riddance. Liking someone prior to the draft does not mean that you still like them after they suck.

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
