meh

not worried about the sacks, he generally gets rotated out of passing downs. our run stop has been solid and he's a part of the unit 

This…he wasn’t seen as a serious pass rusher when we drafted him either.  More of a hope in that regard than an expectation

Look at our cap and our QB room.

The post I was responding to asked for “any” evidence that Fitt could be a competent GM. Hard to argue against our improvement along the OL which was one of the weakest spots of our team. 
 

When I look at the QB room, I see that we’ve taken shots to get it right. We’ve missed on those shots, but at least we move on quickly in search of our next franchise QB. 
 

We’re in decent shape with our cap. A few guys we can move on from in the off-season to add room. No really bad contracts beyond next year that we’re stuck with.

Being a good rotation guy is ok in this league. People will clamor about his 2nd round status but he will get a second contract either with the panthers or someone else.

Normally I'd agree, but we got a very similar rotational run-stopping DE in Henry Anderson for essentially vet minimum late in the offseason who has arguably been out-performing YGM.  I do think he'll probably get a second contract somewhere, but I also think these types of players don't appear to be in particularly high demand.

The thing that I like about Fitterer is that he doesn't just rest on his hands, and is always opportunistic when it comes to upgrading the team. I also like that he learns. He screwed the pooch with Darnold by giving too much, but then he got Mayfield for very little. We were in a bind after the Darnold trade, but no one's gonna lose sleep over a 5th (if it comes to that, which is up to Rhule). Moreover, people want to cry about the Henderson trade, but CJ is developing. Sure he's given up a couple of big plays which has led to some inconsistency, but I saw only one awful play. The other could have easily been judged as a tangling of feet. Even still, in my mind, he's playing like a third-rounder with upside. All the obvious improvements along the O-line have been mentioned. The LB play hasn't been bad. Both can be attributed to Fitterer to varying degrees. This is his second year, and I've been encouraged. Fitt may not have hit his stride yet--and I certainly don't believe that he's hit his ceiling, but he's above average in my estimation.

This is Hendersons 3rd year.  You ready to pick up his 5th year option next year?

      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.
