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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By frankw · Posted

      Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.

      Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
