Running backs don’t matter. For some reason people still struggle with this concept. It’s not just that people struggle to grasp the concept that running backs have been devalued for a reason. It’s also that people still take that phrase far too literally. Sometimes people use hyperbole with their roster-building strategy!! Of course who the…
So you may have heard, but there’s a draft coming up. A lot of the focus is going to be on surrounding alleged #2 pick Zach Wilson with the talent he needs to grow and develop, unlike that last guy. Sean? Steve? I’m blanking on his name. In any case, when building around quarterbacks, the…
I have takes on this year’s quarterback class. You have takes on this year’s quarterback class. Everyone has takes and we spend way too much time trading those takes because none of our takes mean anything. We can all share our reasons why we like this guy more than that guy, but let’s be honest,…
Now that the Jets have officially traded Sam Darnold we know that the Jets will draft a quarterback with their second overall pick. Okay, we knew this beforehand but some weren’t ready to embrace this reality. We’re all here now, embracing reality whether you like it or not. The debate now turns to, which quarterback…

I’m unsure if you heard, but the Jets welcomed three new additions to their roster on the first day of free agency. For the past two years, the team has stressed making smart moves instead of splashy ones…finding value where no one else was looking. Their conservative approach led to missing out on some of…
The New York Jets had only one pending free agent that they needed to retain. That player, safety Marcus Maye, has now officially been retained as the Jets used their franchise tag for the first time since tagging Muhammad Wilkerson in 2016. The official salary cap number for this season still hasn’t been finalized yet,…
During his brief tenure, Joe Douglas has thus far employed a measured and conservative approach to free agency. He hasn’t dolled out enormous globs of guaranteed money, he’s targeted cheaper value players to fill specific roles and he’s avoided the big ticket free agents. It’s a smart blueprint! It’s an approach most smart teams employ,…
This website is firmly a “don’t pay running backs big money,” website. However, this website also doesn’t actually make any decisions for the Jets.
