Timeless Jets

All the obscure Jets players, coaches, and old Jets games fit to print

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

Prefer Berrios in that last WR roster spot.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

The #Jets worked out veteran FA WR Tavon Austin today, source said, and sounded like it went well. Austin spent time with the #49ers and #Packers last year.

@JCaporoso No one would’ve expected Zach Wilson to go #2 a year ago. Ditto with Joe Burrow the year before. A lot can change. Someone should emerge.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

@LUGO_RIVERA A lot to like. Like others, was concerned about size/durability/competition level in school and so forth.

He also looks like a teenage Tik Tok influencer, and maybe that’s on me for not being able to get past that.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

I’m somewhat of a Wilson skeptic (but the fan in me has talked me into the idea since his pro day).

However, it is certainly refreshing to finally have confidence in a coach and GM on the same page with a plan to build around him along w/ a scheme that accentuates his strengths

[New York Jets @nyjets]

First pick in the books for this duo ✅

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

Draft picks are just dry powder.

Idzik taught us that simply having a ton of picks means nothing if you don’t convert them into impact players

It’s about optimizing resources

If the Jets traded up for a projected 5-10 year starter to protect their young QB, it’s a no brainer

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

If they sign him, between Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh McCown, and now Brian Hoyer, the Jets will have had the trifecta of the elite journeyman QBs in the last 7 years.

[Rich Cimini @RichCimini]

Free-agent QB Brian Hoyer is visiting the #Jets today, source confirms (as @RapSheet said). Hoyer, 35, knows the offense. Started 6 games for the 49ers in 2017 (0-6). Saleh and LaFleur on that staff. Jets need veteran presence in the QB room.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

@johnfinn66 @kreativekonnect My take:

No GM bats .1000.

It’s low hurdle but he’s much more adept at running a team than his predecessors.

If you fire him if things go poorly this year and he’s the scapegoat, who are you bringing in who is better? Several top candidates in recent years weren’t interested

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

I think the jury is still out on Joe Douglas.

There has been some good (trades, decent early returns on 20 draft).

Some not so good (some poor FA pickups, letting RA walk, etc.)

But any talk of him being on the hot seat right now is just too premature.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

They had Sanchez, Kellen Clemens, and (current Rams OC) Kevin O’Connell back in 2009. Agreed, they should not repeat that mistake.

[Rich Cimini @RichCimini]

Douglas doesn’t rule out adding a vet QB, but says he’s excited about Morgan and White. (Sounds like posturing. They can’t go into the year with 3 inexperienced QBs.) #Jets

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

I am admittedly a Wilson skeptic who preferred Darnold’s fresh start here under LaFluer in an O that plays to his strengths while optimizing draft capital.

But there is definitely something to be said for finally having GM, coach, and QB all on aligned & on the same timeline.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

Jets had 12 picks in 2014... None of them other than Enunwa arguably had much of a career.

Need to convert the picks into productive players.

[Field Yates @FieldYates]

Over the next two drafts, no team owns more Day 1 and 2 picks than the Jets, who now have 5 in each of 2021 and 2022.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

@CHARLESADIMINO Certainly. We get to see the Rhule/Darnold/Robby parallel universe play out somewhat in real time. Which can be a relief or potentially even more frustrating.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

Well, it hurts but it’s a better return than I was expecting.

Would not be surprised to see Sam Darnold develop into the QB we thought he could be under Joe Brady and with McCaffrey and old buddy Robby A.

We root for laundry, as Jerry Seinfeld once said.

Onto the next one.

[New York Jets @nyjets]

Official terms of the deal.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

Just two years ago..

Herndon is the Arya Stark of the bunch.

Not because of his play, but how unlikely it was that he’d be the last one standing out of everyone in this photo.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

@keithcpaisles Especially with this team.

The entire set of players from the new uniform unveiling just two years ago, are gone, aside from Herndon.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

John Idzik was no Joe Douglas, but he also sought to build through the draft and supplement the roster with reasonable FA contracts.

Need to turn all that dry powder into productive players at some point. Can’t whiff on the picks.

[Manish Mehta @MMehtaSports]

Jets have made it clear that they’re starting over. Woody Johnson is back for a re-boot. Robert Saleh has a lot of promise.

NYJ has banked a lot of draft picks, which is nice as long as you make the right picks. Otherwise, they will be rebuilding again in a few years.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

Kerry Hyder (2014)

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

Joe Douglas is adding talent from the 2016-2017 draft classes... which somewhat helps in cleaning up the mess left by his predecessor.

Out of those two draft classes, only Marcus Maye remains.

[Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo]

The #Jets are making another add to their defense: DT Sheldon Rankins. The 12th overall pick in 2016 has agreed to a two-year deal worth up to $17 million, source says.

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

(2) also an emphasis on Special Teams.

An optimal way to complement building the roster through the draft

[Timeless Jets @TimelessJets]

Really appreciating Joe Douglas’s approach to FA.

Impact players who project well in the scheme, with high upside on reasonable to bargain type of contracts.

Very well done so far.
