"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

Jets splashing the cash on locking Sauce and Garrett into long-term contracts.
It would now take a very big trade offer to lure either of them away. Two big talents. So, good moves.
Unusually astute for the worst-run team in the NFL!

Only those who follow US sports will like this. But it's pretty funny. I did LOL at the WNBA joke.

No doubt the Christmas Day game will be one of the games on Netflix.?
Not sure if it's two or three games. They seem to be punishing your boys with that early part of the schedule. A really tough start

It leaves us with 36 year-old Tyrod Taylor as back up to Justin Fields, although Tyrod is reliable. So we might need to pick up a QB in free agency, or trade for one (using late-round picks) before the deadline next season.

Jordan Travis, the Jets QB drafted in 2024, has retired after failing to recover from the horrible leg injury he suffered in his last game for Florida State.
Big talent, and such a shame. Also a sharp reminder that your college or NFL career can end in an instant.
He took a calculated risk by drafting him in round 5 of last year's draft, despite his injury. In Jets fashion, it has backfired! But I'd say he was worth the risk. We'd only have wasted that pick on a shit kicker (or maybe a shitkicker) anyway.
Feel for that kid, as he was more talented and harder working than most QBs we've had in recent years.

Over the past couple of weeks ESPN has been running articles on a mystery draft Prospect X who they though could be surprise draft pick. They never gave away his college, position or identity but went into a lot of details about him and his situation. Today they published the last in the series about how Prospect X did in the draft.
He looks like a very interesting player indeed.
I can think of a few ways he could make a career in the NFL. https://www.espn.co.uk/nfl/draft2025/st ... as-raiders
ESPN. Or Disney Sports is a joke now. Unless the WNBA is your thing.?
Then they have you covered

“Tough, physical, violent, aggressive and resilient.”
Aaron Glenn telling journalists about the characteristics he looked for in every draft pick.
Definitely went for a bunch of youngsters who look like they’ll punch and run their way through brick walls. No whining, cotton wool Zach Wilson’s this time around.
Not the NFL draft but Minnesota Golden Gophers add Purdue offensive lineman Jaden Ball through transfer portal
The 6-5, 300-pounder also had offers from Ohio State and Syracuse.

The Jets took a calculated risk with pick 4 and went for blistering speed at wide receiver, Georgia’s Arian Smith. That kid is quick.
Definitely a kick returner in the style of his new head coach, and could even become an excellent slot receiver. Definitely opens up the field.
one of our better fan channel creators is a georgia fan and talked about him a lot in his pre-draft shows. said he had limited opportunities due to the talent around him but shone when given the chance in 2023, but for some reason didn't kick on last year but he was still a believer and wanted us to take him in the later rounds. just said he needs a bit of work on his technique (catching), but the athleticism is up there with the best
Yeah, sounds spot on. I’ll take that risk with a 4th rounder. His acceleration/speed is something else. At least this version of the jets took the (calculated) risky pick with a late rounder and not a top-ten choice like so many times in the past.
Elsewhere, there were some really good solid receivers and linemen in the late rounds. Quite a few teams drafted excellent guards, which is what you should do.
