It demonstrates the value of selling high. Especially in a sport like football where deterioration of talent is precipitous, roles are fungible, and supply is high. This is why the Revis trade was so successful, and would have been even more so had Idzik resigned him immediately. Yet many were opposed to trading him because of some notion of pride in having the best CB in the league, or having him wear a Jets jersey in the HOF (football HOFers are not team associated). Romantic notions like these are what gets you stuck in a rut like the Steelers are now, or the Phillies in baseball. It's a poor way to run a team, and I wish we would err on the side of foresight more often. Getting rid of Rex and his esoteric loyalties was a good start. Good post, and I fully agree. But for the sake of argument, do have to play devil's advocate: - TB won a SB with Keyshawn - The Falcons went to the playoffs more with Abraham than the Jets have with Mangold - Revis was a key component for the latest SB champ I agree with the merit behind this and similar trades, but it does suck that other teams involved (for many reasons) have benefitted more from these trades than the Jets.

I really just want someone to take him before we have the chance. If Winston, Mariota, L. Williams are gone we get 1 of the next 3 best players in the Draft. I'd be happy with Fowler, Cooper, White, Ray or Beasley. My wish also. My objection to the Mariotta pick is the fact that the Jets have a shot at elite talent at a position where they've been anemic this entire millenium. I want Cooper or White. Assuming Winston goes number one and there are five spots between TB and our pick: shouldn't the Jets be looking to trade up to get Mariotta if they're convinced he's the guy? Something about standing pat and hoping a QB falls into your lap when he could easily go #2 doesn't sit well with me, IF the team is convinced about the player. And IMO, if they're not convinced, they should be getting one of the players that Jetstream has mentioned. Mariotta may hit the Rodgers / Quinn slide and be available in the 20s, who knows? I don't want the Jets to stop his slide just because he's there at 6 and they weren't compelled to get him at #4 or #5.

I believe this is true. But if you're the Jets, you give up the pick to make sure you get the player. Trades are supposed to work for both sides; this is a good trade.
Put me in the camp with people who hope this team finds a way to keep Harvin also. I won't be happy about losing the pick if the salary number stays the same, but maybe Percy feels the pressure of a pending release now that Marshall is in the fold and comes to his senses.

I think it's pretty sad what Lynch is saying there. He's insinuating (true or false) that his personal appearance had something to do with the most pivotal call of the most pivotal game...if there's any truth to that (regardless of the level of truth), speaks volumes about the power of the media.

The Jets could be 100M under the cap, and there'd still be fans saying, "don't sign player X, he stubbed his toe six years ago...and it MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN!"
There's absolutely no reason to consider cutting Harvin until there's a player they want that they would be unable to sign due to his salary. And if the Jets plan to load up on so much talent that they need to free up the 10.5M this year, then I'll be fine with letting him go.
Until that unlikely point is reached, his 10.5M might as well be .105M, since cutting him has the same cap impact at either number. Harvin stays on the Jets next year unless they choose to sign every single high-dollar FA available, or decide that a 4th rounder is more valuable than one of the most dangerous players in the league.

Of their last four top-10 picks, three have been busts. You can argue D-Rob was serviceable, but for what they gave up, ultimately a bad pick.
Jets have to take advantage of the stock here. Would love to see a trade down followed by a trade up or two to get the guys they really want - would show a level of savvy we haven't seen from a FO in as long as I can remember.

harris is not worth another 9 million contract. the jets should offer a reasonable price and then be happy to use a draft pick if he walks. as for wilk, the jet dline has been much ballyhooed for the past few seasons but they still don't put a ton of pressure on qb's. granted the secondary has been going downhill but something has to be done to get the pressure. right now the best dline guy is richardson. There is absolutely no way Harris gets another 9 mil. Question is, can the Jets keep him 3 yr / 12M-14M? I think it's possible, but Harris may want to test the waters. If he wants more than that, he may have to.

What is this "ton of needs" you speak of? at a minimum QB, OG, CB, FS, LB. Nice to have WR, 2nd/3rd RB, LT, back up/heir apparent C. Pretty much everything but DLine at this point. While I wouldn't 100% agree on LT and C (you don't really see teams grooming heir-apparent centers), those are definitely the only two positions other than DL that aren't a need. This team might be better than we saw last year with some improved coaching, but there are still some big-time holes.

For me, the official derail was when he traded a 6th round pick to get Harvin. He could have had a more polished version of the same player at the same price, but didn't even bat an eye when DeSean Jackson was available.
That's what told me he didn't know what he was doing, and had gotten desperate.

I hope people realize just how relevant this is. There's a reason why guys like Heath Ledger, Blaine Gabbert and Kelly Stouffer were absolute busts. Never had a chance. Heath Ledger? LOL - Heath Shuler.
That's how forgettable he was as a QB.

Neither of those guys (not named Geno Smith) even made the Official VTN QBR list www.newyorkjetshampur.com/thread/1778/official-vtn-qbr-listI'd probably put McCown in the "overstayed their welcome" category, and Blake Bortles? I think needs a whole new category - " QB's with a name too stupid to be in the NFL". I hope people realize just how relevant this is. There's a reason why guys like Heath Ledger, Blaine Gabbert and Kelly Stouffer were absolute busts. Never had a chance.

The only stat more useless than strength of schedule is team record when one of the cheerleaders is out sick.

After seeing the first picture, never would have thought the worst thing said in this thread was somebody calling one of the greatest lyricists of all time Urkel.
