We've got other places to spend money than on WR much less a possession receiver (although he is a really good one). 

Not a great FA receiver market, there are going to be a lot of teams over paying for moderate players.

Looks like the draft for us or a trade afterwards maybe.

The main reason I like Thielen is his nose for the endzone. He had more touchdowns in 2 recent relatively down seasons than DJ has had in his entire 5 year career... That's invaluable to have for a rookie QB. Although we'd still want to give him an explosive WR at some point for between the 20s as Thielen isn't that at this point in his career.

What position is higher need for us than WR right now?

As things are shaking out, there isn't. It's just that this year isn't a great FA market for receivers. And just because it's the best '88 Buick on the lot doesn't make it the best vehicle on the highway.

The tight market is going to make some mid-level guys rich and some bubble guys wealthy, too. I mean, someone is going to pay a Robbie Anderson guy too much money this season. I hope it isn't us, again.

      Trade deadline

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Apparently the extension he signed before the season was also a little weird, as it had a very low signing bonus. So the Jets have a very small dead cap hit despite trading a big contract that was signed just 2 months ago. I guess it was only a $13 million signing bonus, and trading him mid-season means it's something around only a $10 million dead cap hit left to take. This is a huge win for the Jets for a player I've long felt was overrated because of a great nickname and an amazing rookie season that he's then failed to fully live up to since them.  Combine that with everyone knowing the Colts seem more mirage then legit long term contender, that 2027 1st in particular could end up being a really good asset for the Jets.

      Steichen has the offense operating at a super high efficiency with JT/Pittman/Warren/Downs.  The OL is strong.The D - the front 7 has been sneaky good.  They don't instill much fear but do enough.  Buckner is stil playing at a high level.  It's a good system on both sides of the ball.  Blue chip players now at every position group.   Overall, the NFL is wide open right now. Seahawks, Colts, Patriots, Rams, & Bills are at the top of the mid-season hill - which is just wild Lions, Bucs, Broncos, Chargers* are in contention/okay spots (LAC is losing guys left and right though) Chiefs, Philly still linger, you can never discount. Steelers, 49ers are around as always.
