yep...i think we need to temper expectations around what we can do defensively. Our secondary is shot.


They had offers but Bradberry and those teams couldn’t agree on his extension.

Read on Twitter

Good to know they tried.


And i can't blame Bradberry for not wanting to renegotiate. The situation sucks but it is what it is.

The secondary is probably going to be what kills us this season.

Lets hope the improved pass rush will take some pressure off the secondary to sustain extended coverage. Still a chance they bring in another vet after cuts to fill the Bradberry hole.

I think we might have a mil and some change left after the rookies are signed. Fingers crossed

I can still see them diving deeper into cost cutting by releasing Slayton and/or Ximines too so there might be more money.

Cutting Slayton would give us another 1.3 mil to spend...the rookies will probably cost us 14.3 mil if I am reading sport trac correctly. So we might have north of 2 mil to spend on a camp cut veteran on defense.

Loved the Hall pick by the Jets. Hall is a heck of a RB and has the ability to see and hit the holes in the defense real well. He's a game breaker type as a runner because of how well he see's openings and attacks it with great body control and explosive first (and second, and third, etc.) step(s). He's also strong like a bull and able to gain yards after the hit. But what really helps is Hall's ability to catch passes and then gain yards after the catch because of his top tier athletic ability. That should allow the Jets be more dynamic offensively and give Zach Wilson another weapon. I believe Hall scored athletic test scores that matches the elite RB's in the NFL today so that says a lot. Also while Michael Carter was a surprise for the Jets last year at RB, I don't think they want to rely on him to be the RB1. Hall has the potential to be one.

Ruckert was a solid pick that isn't as splashy or with as high an impact upside as the other guys picked ahead of him. I don't think he'll be a featured guy in terms of passing with the Jets and probably will serve more of a blocking or play action type guy or maybe on special teams. The Jets added a lot of impact offensive players this offseason including signing 2 TE's in free agency and I just don't think Ruckert has shown enough that he'll be considered as someone that will be a big part of their offense for the near future.

I probably would have looked at a defensive lineman instead with the Ruckert pick.


Definitely agree on Hall. Seeing his college production and play, I feel like we got a steal even if heads think that's a bit high to draft an RB in this day and age. I think the math's a little different if you're getting a potential every-down back. He really has homerun hitter potential.

Ruckert is interesting to me. I guess the depth there makes sense because they want to be able to run an aggressive offense even if one of their top two goes down. I've heard some scouting types say that he's a much more versatile receiver than his college play lets on, but I wouldn't be able to tell like that. I like that he's a quality blocker and a local kid.

But I agree with you...specifically, I wanted a developmental DT after we lost Foley. I also wouldn't have minded some interior O-line depth but it looks like we just picked some up off the Eagles waiver wire.


Interesting update: This would help some

Oh that's very interesting. Appears that Carl Lawson may be ready for training camp as well.

With all those defensive linemen and no linebackers, maybe the jets could run a 5-2 defense. ;-)
Go Knicks!! Go Mets!!

As for the Jets . . . just keep it entertaining.

Bellinger could be solid if his catching ability is as good as advertised. A good blocker who can be a reliable safety blanket on passing downs is all we need
