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 hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built. 
    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
