I'd rather just go young though. Reid is not gonna be a key piece when this team is ready to compete. Rather get a young FA and see if we find a diamond in the rough.

Reid is 28.

And we are 2 years away at least from legitimately competing. So I don't think we need to sign him. If we do, he's on our team, and I'll support him. But there's also a reason no one else has signed him.

Agreed.

Feels like we're not asking ourselves why he's sitting at home right now, and it's not because of kneeling (which has been a complete non-issue this season). If he was good enough he would've been signed by now.

Thats what I thought to, honestly I thought he had been out of the league for 2 years now. Then I looked up his stats ..

2019 - 124 tackles, 4 sacks, 6 PD

Im fine adding him or not adding him.

Perhaps Ron only offering a PS spot with no guarantees was him keeping his commitment to the guys who have been with him, practicing, studying and working out and letting them know that their work and commitment to him wont easily be set aside by immediately giving a new guy their starting spot.

You have to earn it mantra. And if you do what is asked of you, you wont be tossed aside like a week old towel.

No one else made him an offer and he still said no to us. If he's that full of himself that he won't work his way up with a coach he knows, we do not want him. He has always been a "look at me" type of guy.

Not sure why Rivera even reached out to him, he's not the type of person we want in the culture Coach is trying to create here.

Trade Kerrigan for traft picks if we can get em.

Monkeydad · 10-29-2020, 11:14 AM

I really hope Kerrigan plays his whole career here.

Why trade a player who's still contributing as much as he is?

Even part time, he's making an impact. Also, a youth movement is a good thing, but we do need to retain some veteran leadership.

If it was a straight swap this week I'd do it. Give us a look at Darnold and see if he is actually another victim of Gase or actually capable of being a franchise level QB. Jets would be no worse off than they are now and they'd have a guy to back up whoever they draft next year. Never know, the NY market might entice Haskins to get his head out of his rear end. But I certainly wouldn't offer him with a #2 for Darnold; too many unknowns.

It would be a no brainer...Darnold needs a change of scenery

They both do. I'd do this as a one-for-one deal.

We could maybe salvage some value from that draft picks we used for Haskins...and the Jets could start him and GUARANTEE they get Trevor.

Darnold would be a hard pass from me. Why would the Jets make that move anyway?

To assure themselves Lawrence....

I don't see Haskins having much trade value. I'm sure someone will give him a shot as a free agent, but in a trade especially to a team like the Jets that is going to be blowing up their coaching staff after the season? Again, makes zero sense.

They don’t want Haskins, and they are giving up nothing except another bad quarterback. Haskins is just a more secure road to Trevor.
It is just a tank move dressed up as a desperation move to right the ship. They don’t want to right the ship though. Darnold might actually win a game or two. Haskins actually makes them worse.
