Well flagged already. Also happy new league year as it's past 4pm EST in the US now.

I'll take it if it meant Courtland Sutton gets a decent shot at catches.


Basically I'd take anything over Keenum really.

Let's roll!! Darnold has got a weapon to play with on offense.

Bell misjudged his market. He didn't get the mega deal he wanted. The Jets are the big winners here, picking up a fresh running back who hopefully has a point to prove.

Nice off season for NYJ. After initial misgivings, I think Adam Gase will turn the Jets into a team that can contend for the post-season. There are still holes on the roster (OLB, C, CB2, TE2) but there are still some decent bodies out there in free agency and we still have the number 3 pick in the draft. That number 3 could become valuable if teams are looking to move up and take a QB.

Shez for sure that is a great move by the jets. It will give Darnold a weapon out of the backfield.
The wide receiver free agencies market is very weak and massive problem for the Ravens IMO. Yeah we signed a decent RB in Ingram and a great safety in Thomas But that ain't gonna help Lamar. Jets still have lot of cap room and I still think Darnold is the best QB of last year class.
Jets will be good this year with another few additions .

Bump. Training camps start next month and the HOF game isn't far away and pre season and then the kickoff game between the packers and bears(superb choice given it's the 100th season) and let's see how things go from there.

HOF Game this week and the preseason starts the weekend after next so not long to go until the kickoff with the packers and bears.

Been a while since I looked forward to a season as much as this one. I think the Jets have had a great off season, with a serious upgrade at head coach and general manager.

Coaching matters in this league and Gase, while a little quirky, is a step above Todd Bowles. Gregg Williams as DC will get the most out of a defense that has a lot of talented pieces.

Ultimately our season will come down to Sam Darnold's rate of development. He has looked good in training camp, for what that is worth, but it is only when the real stuff starts that we can determine what he is capable of. Bring it on.
