We really need to sign 2 Dbs and a tackle. I would really like 3 Dbs and a Tackle but I have no idea who we cut to make room. I assume Godfrey will go to IR, cut Fua again, and hopefully cut Armond smith. That's 3 spots to be filled and with the CJ restructure we have to be doing something. It's only week 3 so the season is not over. We are playing the Giants who have 2 very good DEs and 2 very good Wrs. With injuries and Bell's performance against the bills Gettleman needs to prove we are actually trying to win and not just sitting on our hands until seasons end just to can Rivera.

(edit: meant OT not DT)

At this point, would that hurt?

 

He publically told Cam he needs to start winning this offseason and then gave him Byron fuging Bell to protect him.

 

I hate to say it but mark me down with the crowd that suspects Cam is too new for Gettleman's taste and had absolutely no inclination to invest in him

 

Gettleman has come across as stuck in the past in some regards since he got here and it makes perfect friggin sense with richardson making the hire

He also didn't even sign a backup for Bell just in case oh you know like Bell happened to play like ass or got injured.

Yeah, there was always that disconnect between what he was saying and what he was (or wasn't) doing.  Now we're just all kind of confused, dazed---whatever---waiting to see wtf G-man's gonna do, if anything

      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.
