Was not shopping Kelvin, but the opportunity came. Not a move for the future, a move to try to get more points now. 

Trading away one of the better weapons we have, including as a run blocker when our run game is already stagnant for "more points now"... 

Oy. 

And as I've already said, teams that were not feeling threatened and our pass game to back off have even less reason to worry now.

Did you discuss with Cam? 

No, did not run it by Cam. Hasn't spoken to Cam yet. Ron and I meet and Ron and I agreed to move forward. 

24 hours later and still  hasn't spoken to Newton about trading away his good friend and security blanket...

Yeah, that's wise.

Couldn't listen so I don't know his voice tone but all his statements hold water and sound well thought out. Will await final judgement until we see how the offense responds.

This is the most logical thing I have read on the Huddle in the last 18 hours or so.....not saying this will be a situation like 2015, but it is the perfect example of how 95% of people thought we were completely screwed and it turned out the exact opposite.  The point is you never really know what to expect in today's NFL.  It's definitely weird timing and everything, but I'm not gonna freak out and will also withhold final judgment for a while.

If we bring back some has been from years gone by, we will truly be bottoming out. We will be looking up at rock bottom.

We finally rid ourselves of that horrible era only for us to ship Benji out and get the gang back together?

Please no. I can't take anymore.

Of all the cringey things he said, this is the worst one.

"Benji was just too talented to pull of the field, he had to go to make way for these inferior players."

He was just too talented to bench... 

... so we traded him. 

Marty Hurney, ladies and gentlemen.

say what you will about Marty, and I despise him, he is accountable and will face the fans....Gman always waited till the end of the season for his state of the union address.

There's an old proverb about the virtue of keeping your mouth shut versus saying something stupid. 

Hurney is an example of this.

This BS has stink all over it.

We get rid of our best receiver, to get lesser players on the field.

If we want to score more points, how about our OC draw up better blocking schemes to get our RBs some holes and help out our passing game.

OMG I'm so pissed what a freaking clown show we have at the moment.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
