present the 2019 AGOP championship entry.AGOP: Let’s win now!By willtakecharge4I
would like to begin by stating the obvious: we all want the Jets to win the
Superbowl. I will clarify my off-season strategy for the Jets by looking at
trends between the Superbowl competitors in the last 10 years.Super Bowl
Winners: Patriots, Eagles, Patriots, Broncos, Patriots, Seahawks, Ravens,
Giants, Packers, SaintsSuper Bowl Losers: Rams, Patriots, Falcons, Panthers,
Seahawks, Broncos, 49ers, Patriots, Steelers, ColtsAll of these Superbowl teams
fit neatly into 1 of 2 categories except the Giants in 2012, and the Broncos in
2016: They either had a Quarterback on their rookie contract or had a superstar
(top 5 quarterback) quarterback or playing in an MVP season.The Rams, Eagles,
Seahawks, Ravens, and 49ers all had quarterbacks in their rookie contracts, and
the Patriots, Falcons, Panthers (in 2015), Broncos (in 2014), Packers, Saints
and Colts all had quarterbacks that were playing at a top-5 level in the
league.This correlation signifies two things to me: to win a Superbowl a
quarterback needs to be on a rookie contract in which he will be playing at a
high level for a reasonable price and a deep roster can be built in other
positions, and for that quarterback to be worthy of extension, he needs to be a
perennial top-flight MVP candidate.The Jets clearly fall into the former
category. I don’t know whether Sam Darnold will turn into one of the best
quarterbacks in football, and we don’t need to know that know. What Sam Darnold
proved in the last 4 games of last season is that he can be AT LEAST a capable
quarterback that does not take too much up of the salary cap. With the insane
amount of money quarterbacks are getting on second and third contracts, deals in
which their performance doesn’t justify eating up as significant amount of cap
space that they do (see Kirk Cousins in Minnesota for example), it is imperative
that the Jets do everything they can now to build a competitive roster, as Sam
Darnold is on his rookie contract.The way I see it is right now the Jets’
superbowl window is 4 years, before Darnold’s rookie contract is up and will
need an extension, and the Jets have maybe the second least talented roster in
the NFL, as presently constituted, so in my ideal Jets off-season I will be
proposing SIGNIFICANT changes to this roster.1. Moves the Jets Have already
madeCuts: Spencer Long, Mike Pennel, Terrence Brooks, Kevin Pierre-LouisERFA
Tender: Davis Webb, Frankie Luvu, Doug Middleton, Anthony Wint, Jeremy
Clark Trumaine Johnson Jerseys 2019 , Deontay Burnett, De’angelo Henderson, Ben Braden, Bronson KaufusiRFA Tender: Robby AndersonRe-sign: Jonathan
HarrisonTrade: 140th Pick to the Raiders for Kelechi Osemele and the 198th
pickProjected Cap Space: $82,248,082 (Source: OTC)2. Additional CutsBrian
Winters, RG, $6,500,000 saved: The o-line was a disaster for the Jets last year,
and Brian Winters’ massive inconsistency was a large contributor. Cutting him
would cost them no dead money, and his “production” can be replaced for a
cheaper cost.Isaiah Crowell, RB, $3,000,00 saved: Another disappointing signing
for Mac. 3 million dollars are saved by cutting an inconsistent and injury prone
running back. Again, his production can be replaced with more efficient roster
moves.Rashard Robinson, CB, $2,025,000 saved: Why is he still on the
roster?Projected Cap Space: $93,973,0823. Re-signsKevin Pierre-Louis, LB, 1 year
$2 million: Good special teamer, and solid depth piece. Can re-sign him for
cheaper this year after an injury riddled season and suspension.Mike Pennel, NT,
1 year $1.2 million: Solid rotational defensive lineman. Jets didn’t pick up his
option which leads me to think they can bring him back for cheaperJosh Martin,
OLB, 1 year minimum: Showed a couple flashes a couple years ago. If concussions
are not an issue, he could be a solid depth piece.Brandon Copeland, OLB, 1 year
$2 million: Probably the Jets best Edge rusher last year (albeit not a high
bar). Should not be a starter next year but will be serviceable as a rotational
EDGE piece.Henry Anderson, DE, 3 years $18 milllion, $10 million guaranteed
($5.5 million cap hit): Had the best season of his career last year, with 7
sacks. One of the few Jets free agents that is deserving of a multi-year
extension.Jason Myers, K, 4 years $12 million, $6 million guaranteed ($3 million
cap hit): Need to lock up your pro-bowl special teamer to a multi-year
deal.Andre Roberts, KR/PR/WR, 2 years $8 million ($4 million cap hit): see
aboveProjected Cap Room: $76,458,0824. Free AgencyKey Signings:Le’veon Bell, RB,
4 years $67 million, $45 million guaranteed ($20 million cap hit): Bell is the
big prize of the off-season, and the Jets have failed to acquire a homegrown
superstar playmaker for as long as I can remember. For the Jets to succeed they
have to surround Darnold with superstar talent. This contract is front loaded
and the first two years of the contract are fully guaranteed. The Jets can cut
bait with Bell after three years, without any cap ramifications after three
years if Bell declines. Darnold will be on his rookie contract throughout the
duration of this contract, so signing Bell makes sense on so many levels for the
Jets.Matt Paradis, C, 4 years $47 million, $18 million guaranteed ($10.5 million
cap hit): Obviously after the Spencer long disaster White Terrelle Pryor Sr. Jerseys , the Jets need to be serious about acquiring a top-tier center to anchor an incredibly weak 2018 unit. Paradis, although will
be on the wrong side of 30 this year, is a top 5 center in the game when
healthy.John Miller, G, 2 years $5 million, $2 million guaranteed ($2.5 million
cap hit): Played fairly well last year for the Bills(top 25 PFF guard), and he
is still only 26 years old. I expect him to at least replicate Brian Winters’
production for a much cheaper cost.Adam Humphries, WR, 4 years $30 million, $11
million guaranteed ($6 million cap hit): Humphries had the best season of his
career last year and is only 25. I can see him slotted in as a solid slot option
for the Jets next yearTyler Eifert, TE, 1 year $4 million: Obviously there is an
injury risk with Eifert. But when healthy he is one of the best tight ends in
the game. Eifert on a one year prove-it deal, paired up with Chris Herndon could
make one of the most lethal tight end duos in the game.Kareem Jackson, CB, 4
years $38 million, $19 million guaranteed ($9 million cap hit): With Claiborne
and Skrine a free agent the Jets should dip into probably the best corner
free-agent in a week corner free-agent class. Though I am not thrilled with
using this much cap room on one position (along with Trumaine Johnson’s massive
contract), cornerback is too important a position to neglect, especially since
the Jets haven’t addressed this position internally.Depth Signings:Travis
Swanson, C, 1 year minimum: Played ok for Miami last year, under Gase. Can be a
decent depth signing.Sam Shields,CB, 1 year $2 million: Veteran depth. Can
compete with Parry Nickerson for the slot corner job.Kwon Alexander, ILB, 3
years $11 million, $4 million guaranteed ($3 million cap hit): Young solid
inside linebacker depth.Projected Cap Room: $19,640,0825. DraftRound 1, Pick 3
Jets Select Josh Allen, EDGE, Kentucky: I know the arguments that support the
Jets trading down from this pick, but I believe Josh Allen will become an elite
pass rusher in the NFL. He has the combination of athleticism, college
production, versatility, and skills that indicate he is an elite prospect in one
of the most valuable positions in the NFL, and fits a Jets need. This scenario
would take place assuming Kyler Murray goes number 1 to the Cardinals and Nick
Bosa goes number 2 to the 49ers.Round 3, Pick 68 Jets Select Bryce Love, RB,
Stanford: There are durability concerns but when healthy Love was one of the
best backs in college football. This is a risk, but if it succeeds, he will make
a lethal duo with BellRound 3, Pick 93 Jets Select David Edwards, OT, Wisconsin:
After the 2017 season Edwards was projected to be a sure-fire first round pick,
but a weak season last year will drop him down to day 2. I still think Edwards
has the skills and strength to be a plus run-blocker in the NFL, and this would
give the Jets some more O-line depth that is desperately needed.Round 4, Pick
105 Jets Select David Stills, WR, West Virginia: Stills is an intriguing
prospect as he hasn’t been a Wide Receiver for very long, yet still put up elite
production last year. He will be an excellent red-zone threat and is good at
getting 50/50 balls. He is a bit of a raw route runner but if he gets more
experience, I think he can turn out to be a really good NFL wide receiver.Round
6, Pick 198 Jets Select Albert Huggins, NT Terrelle Pryor Sr. Jerseys 2019 , Clemson: Huggins didn’t get much playing time at Clemson, playing behind the best defensive line in the country, so this pick
would be a project. But, Huggins certainly has the measurables and athleticism
to be a rotational defensive lineman in the NFL.Round 7, Pick 217 Jets Select
Trace McSorley, QB, Penn State: McSorley doesn’t have the arm or size to be a
full-time starter in the NFL, but has had the college production to possibly be
a good backup in the league. He can compete with Davis Webb for the backup job
behind Darnold, or be a practice squad candidate.Total Rookie Cap Pool:

reasonably expect to find impact free agents. The time for signing them was
months ago. After that point, teams turned to the NFL Draft. With that now in
the rear view mirror, rosters are largely set for the 2019 season. In some
isolated cases there still are some decent free agents available. Few if any of
these players will move the needle for a team. Many of them would be risky
signings due to injury or other factors. If they were not risky, they would not
be available this deep into the spring. But they will also be cheap. They also
would not be available this deep into the spring if there was great demand.On
today’s podcast we look at some of the top free agents still available in the
NFL to see how many would make good fits for the Jets.Thanks for
listening.
