Signing OT George Fant (three years, $30 million, $13.7 million guaranteed) Fant was the first outside addition made by the Jets (or at least the first one that was reported). This is a questionable move. Sure, Fant has plenty of athleticism and may have untapped potential as he has only gotten the opportunity to start…
Signing CB Pierre Desir (one year, undisclosed terms) Desir was a very solid pickup for Joe Douglas. Cut by the Colts a few days into the opening of the league year, Desir quickly landed with the Jets. Gregg Williams’ defense needed a veteran starter to rely upon at outside cornerback. Blessuan Austin and Arthur Maulet…
Re-signing CB Arthur Maulet (one year, undisclosed terms) Maulet broke out in the second half of 2019 with a respectable finish to the season. He allowed 259 yards on 38 targets (6.8 per target), no touchdowns, and one interception. Adding him to the competition at outside cornerback on a low-risk deal makes plenty of sense….
Robby Anderson is a free agent for the first time in his career, and it’s very possible that he leaves the Jets to sign with another team. Anderson’s potential departure has hung like a shadow over the hearts of the Jets fanbase, as he’s gradually become one of the most popular players the team has…
Robby Anderson, WR, New York Jets As Anderson remains unsigned on the fifth day of free agency, it is clear that his market has not materialized as he and his camp hoped it would. Even rumors have been hard to come by regarding the Temple speedster. In 37 games since 2017 with his QB1 healthy,…
Covering a first-time GM is always tricky, there’s a lot of guesswork and assumption making. ‘Well, the team has these holes so let’s connect all the available free agents at those positions to them.’ Or, ‘well this team is really bad so they’re going to need to spend money.’ But it’s not until said GM…
Recently, I dove into the most successful moves that the Jets made at this time one year ago. Today we flip the script. Where did the Jets go wrong last year, and how can they avoid similar mishaps in 2020? Ryan Kalil Joe Douglas deserves a ton of slack here. It is clear that he…
As we move closer to another NFL free agency period, it is interesting to take a look back at the Jets’ successes and failures in past offseasons to get an idea of what they should and shouldn’t do in the future. Tomorrow, we will dive into the Jets’ failures of the 2019 free agency period,…
The Jets have 30 players set to see their contracts expire once the new league year begins in less than two weeks. Yesterday, we went over some of the more important free agents that are set to hit the market. But what about the seldom-used pieces? Which role players actually bring value, and which ones…
The Jets have 30 players set to see their contracts expire once the new league year begins in less than two weeks. Who should stay and who should go? For each player, we will assign a number from 0-to-10, with a zero representing a player the Jets should have absolutely no interest in retaining, and…
