You mean Douglas? The guy wants to get paid, so why trade for him if you aren't going to pay him?

From sources close to the team…the Jets had an agreement with Reddick that he would play this season and they would go from there. He changed his mind for some reason and decided to push harder for a new contract now. That’s why I said someone is giving him bad advice. His holdout has cost him over $1mm already.

I don’t think the Jets were ever going to pay Reddick…they were looking for a one year rental. That‘s why they only gave up a conditional 3 in 2026 for him. Douglas needs to win this year…that’s why he was willing to make the one year deal. I think Reddick holding out completely caught him off guard…which is not reflecting well on him.
 
I’m fine with the situation. I think the pick turns into a 6th rounder if he doesn’t play. He is giving up a year of his moneymaking window and has no leverage here.

If he doesn’t play a down this season their W/L doesn’t change a bit. He is just a piece of something bigger here.

Lookiing back…and this is what a good GM is supposed to do…wouldn’t you rather sign Huff…keep JFM than make this trade?

I would say, armchair qb, yes. But Reddick lied and changed his course. Should Douglas have foreseen that?

Without knowing the conversations. Douglas had with Reddick’s team..you can’t really know if he did enough or could have done more.

All i know is that I don’t think a player has ever asked for a trade…been traded….won’t report to a team and asks to be traded again. Other GMS have never had that happen.

Jets gonna Jet.
 
How will this Reddick holdout end? He can’t actually walk away from game checks…can he? i would guess he was hoping for a significant injury in the preseason on the dline so the Jets would be desperate. That didn’t happen…so what’s his plan now?

I think Douglas is not happy about this…so I don’t see the Jets caving on this.
 
I don’t think the Jets blink. Sit out a year and lose a year of your prime and hope someone else will come through with a bigger contract on a 30 year old with a bad attitude? I’ll play that game of chicken.

Reddick will give in at some point. Because even if he's willing to give up a year of game checks, the Jets would still control his rights and he'd be in the same spot next summer except a year older

That’s what is so frustrating…Reddick never had the upper hand here…yet he kept holding out as if he did.
 
On Cimini’s podcast….he said he doesn’t think Reddick will ever wear a Jet uniform. He thinks Reddick misses a few games…then gets traded. He also thinks that Davante Adams gets traded…and he wouldn’t be suprised if it’s to the Jets for a second round pick..and that maybe the Jets throw in Reddick in that trade.

Good lord, the Jets haven't made the playoffs in 13 seasons.
 
well that was disappointing. Yes they were playing one of the best teams on the road. and yes their qb was playing for the first time in two years.

But i was surprised at the defense. especially the d Line. Did JfM and Huff mean that much to them? and when Mosley went out for a few plays…they were getting gashed.

but…Rodgers got to knock some rust off and showed promise. And the schedule gets easier for a couple weeks.
 
I’ll try to be as positive as I can. That third drive for a td was as good a drive as I can recall in years and there were a couple throws I don’t know I’ve ever seen a Jets qb make.

That said they got punched in the mouth by a better team missing CMC and with a rusty Aiyuk. Hard not to feel it’s the same ol’ Jets this morning.

They didn't look good. That's on Salah in my opinion. There's limited pre-season now and some teams just don't look regular season ready. Probably should have played the starters more in pre-season. Should be a tough practice week.

I do wonder it this was the issue. The team didn’t seem ready to play a good team. Also they played less talented teams in joint practices..and only for one day each time.

Sure the Jets started the season very healthy…but they didn’t seem prepared.

But…it’s a long season,.
 
I heard this morning that this was the lowest week for scoring and passing in almost 2 decades and they think it's because the starters don't play in any preseason games anymore. Rodgers hadn't played more than 4 plays in an NFL in 600 and something days. I don't know. The Jets fan in me feels a lot worse today than I did 24 hours ago.

The first 2-3 weeks of the NFL season are bad football now, and it's only gonna get worse when the preseason gets cut down again to 2 games
 
Nothing replaces getting hit. Veterans, especially QBs, need some live reps against opposing defenses. Teams are forbidden from wearing pads everyday and while joint practices give different looks and help the coordinators, QBs are still paper mache, in bubble wrap and defensive players need go 75% and pull up before making a play.
 
Didn't think they were going to win this game, but thought it would be more competitive. Next three weeks are telling. Three not very good teams (Titans, Broncos and Pats) and they should win all three handily. If not, Bob Saleh's seat is an inferno and I will start worrying.

I don’t think they need to win “handily”. these are NFL teams…not FCS teams. Titans are not an easy out…and who knows that the Pats are capable of.

I would be very happy if they won all 3…but I hope for at least 2.

But…I do worry about Saleh’s capabilities to get this team ready.

Will Levis was awful last week. 19/32 for 127 with 1 TD and 2 INT (one INT was abysmal). If the Jets defense is all it's cracked up to be, they have their way with the Titans offense this week.

Titans defense didn’t give up an offensvive touchdown last week…and Callahan is a good coach. This will also be their home opener.

I do think the Jets will be highly motivated this week…especially the defense.

I think the Jets win…but not ”handily”

I keep forgetting that Hackett is still the OC. I was hoping Rodgers would just override his bad play calls…but so far in this game it’s an uninspired plan. And the defense looks bad.

Something is missing with this team…they seem to play tight. And that’s on the coach.

Oh…and the penalties.

Hopefully they get a turnover or something to give them a spark.

Well..they got some turnovers and things have gotten better.
 
Well..they pulled it out…it still was a poor game offensively…but I think the Titans D is pretty good.

If Jermaine Johnson and/or Mosley’s injuries are serious….that is very bad news. And whats up with Reed? That was out of left field.

The Johnson injury is exactly what Reddick was looking for. It will be interesting to see how Douglas handles this.

McDonald played the best game of his career with three sacks. If he steps up then the loss of JJ is lessened a bit. Still hurts though. The defense is definitely worse than last year, perhaps substantially, but holding a team to 17 pts is a good thing. Injuries are a fact of the NFL, but the good teams are able to handle them. Will see what Bob and Jeff do.

That TD drive in the 4th was vintage Rodgers. That's what we brought him in to do. Braelon Allen may be the steal of the draft. He is a stud.
 
1) I've now watched Rodgers direct 3 drives over the first 2 games that are on another level from what we're used to as Jets fans. Glass half full, that's after almost 20 months without actual game action and should get even better.

2) I still feel very shaky about Saleh, even shakier about Saleh + Hackett.

3) If they want to tip the scales there, they need a decisive win Thursday. Short week, home game after 2 road starts, long time rival that we've waited for the post-TB/BB era for decades on. Through the first 2 games:

Brissett:
15/24 for 121, 0 TD, 0 INT
15/27 for 149, 1 TD, 0 INT
Game 1 leading WR - 2 rec, 31 yds
Game 2 leading WR - 2 rec, 9 yds

With the corners the Jets have and the lack of talent/targets to the WRs, this game is simple. Stop Stevenson. Brissett is not a passer and not really a rusher. He's the 3rd lowest in pass yds per game behind only Bryce Young and Caleb Williams.

I agree on all points…especially on coaching and Rodgers just getting better.

The big concern is run defense…hopefully Mosly can play Thursday.
