More to Come …

Thanks to all the readers and commenters today, your thoughts on how things unfolded were very interesting to read! For now, I have to take off and will be back later tonight … it seems that the “culture vulture” and new Jet Kris Jenkins and I are heading out to see a Broadway show and then get dinner over at Sardi’s.*

Here’s what’s on tap for this weekend on TJB:

  • Our thoughts on the moves so far
  • What’s still on the Jets’ to-do list?
  • Backup plans if Faneca falls though?
  • What does this mean to the Jets draft strategy?

All this and more …

*Could be false

  1. Question.
    If the Falcons sign Turner and Oakland do not take a RB with their 1st pick (I know here it comes), is Mcfadden the right choice at #6?

  2. No, we have a backfield. Unless C’boys offer 21 and 28 to trade up, Vernon Gholston. Pass rush!

  3. Word is out that Faneca has accepted Jets offer!

  4. Unless the Cowboys want to giv eus those two first round picks, plus more we have to pick him. If we pass on McFadden were stupid. TJ is an average RB and Leon is a great backup RB, but nothing more.

  5. Haha I like the change to the banner. Thanks for all the updates today keep up the good work Basset and Co.

  6. where did u get this info billvv?? can u post a link?

  7. link http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3271283

  8. if we pass up mcfadden were stupid. all who passed on adrian peterson are now stupid

  9. ESPN, Clayton

  10. thank u toon….. glad to see we got faneca…. today has been a good day tho we lost johnny we gained jenkins and faneca…..u really cant complain….

  11. I saw the Faneca deal on ESPN. Good deal, but I’m still extremely disappointed that we didn’t go after Samuel. I understand if he was going to get $100 mil., but his number is reasonable and he is young. We would have had 2 of the top 10 corners shutting down WR for the next 4 yrs. Now we are gonna have Poteat. That’s weak.

  12. Ah, but will you feel that way after we draft Dominic Rodgers-Cromartie?

  13. Yes, because Samual is already great, whoever we draft may be great.

  14. In principle this sounds great, but until he gets to NY and inks the deal, I will hold back my full excitement. However, to come out of day 1 of FA, I have to say this is all great stuff. Jenkins, something for Vilma (’09 4 or 3) and Fenaca….who would have thunk it? I am also thrilled we did not spend big on Assante Samuels!!! Let’s give some credit where credit is due. Tannenbaum is doing a great job!!!

  15. Today has been a great Jets day. Vilma will end up making the Jets trade look bad, but with injury risks, that’s what happens. I hope Macfadden doesn’t fall to us, would be tempting, but a mistake. If the Jets pass on Gholston and the Patriots pick him, the Jets will regret it twice a year. The Jets absolutely need a pass rush. I think Robertson shouldn’t be traded, unless there is 2nd round value being offered.

  16. Jets Central is reporting that 1050 ESPN says the Jets are frontrunners for Calvin Pace. If we sign Pace do we still need Gholston? I know we could still use him, but with Ellis and Pace, the need at DE isn’t that big. Maybe we trade down and pick another CB.

  17. You can’t look back on Vilma…at least we got something for him. Most teams keep a guy in the last year of his contract that wants out and then they get nothing for him. It was the right move to make. I am also in favor of keeping Roberston…restructure his contract…you can’t have enough lineman around.

  18. A good day so far…let’s nail down Faneca, address RT, draft Gholston. Can D-Rob play DE in the 3-4….another Leonard Marshall? or do we deal him for whatever he can fetch?

  19. all this for a 3-4 deffense…i hope it was worth it…but…

    im glad we got jenkins and signed pouah to an extention…i hope j-vil will have a great future in NO…which will also give us a better draft pick next year…now we wait and see where drob is traded to…maybe drob for roy williams…if so…it means coles is a gonner…and we wait for faneca to sign this contract…so far everything seems to be going good…

  20. if we do sign c.pace…i say draft gholston anyway…this will solidify our LBs…just my thoughts..

  21. dakar, I’d love to see D-Rob for Roy Williams, but I would think it would take D-Rob and a 2nd rounder for Williams (maybe more).

  22. i think its a fair trade…drob for r.williams…but if we have to give a 2nd rounder for him…i wouldn’t make the trade…to costly…just my thoughts…

  23. whoever said jets should pass on mcfadden n draft gholston is jsut dumb. otherwise pats draft darren
    i do not want to find out what belichek and the pats can do with a guy like mcfadden neither should any of you. jets need an offensive playmaker more than anyone and mcfadden would be perfect instant offense, remember the people who passed on adrian peterson. they cried this season when he torched every team he played. jets cannot let that happen.
