Podcast: What signing Tyron Smith means for the Jets

Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports The Jets made their biggest move of the young offseason by signing tackle Tyron Smith from the Dallas Cowboys. Smith’s contract reportedly has around $7 million in guarantees with potentially $13 million or so in incentives. The move fills one of the most glaring holes the Jets had entering free agency. On today’s podcast I discuss the signing. Entering the offseason, the Jets had a number of significant needs. There was no perfect solution to any of their problems. There were potential solutions that came with either flaws or question...

Contextualizing the Javon Kinlaw contract: Was it fair value?

Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports Taking a look at Javon Kinlaw’s contract Late Monday night, the New York Jets and defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw agreed to a one-year, $7.25 million dollar contract. Of this $7.25 million, about $7 million was guaranteed. The deal was met with mixed reviews by Jets fans to put it kindly. Given Kinlaw’s lack of success for the San Francisco 49ers, many expected the deal to be far cheaper than it actually was, myself included. However, in an attempt to ascertain the degree to which the deal was actually good, bad, or ugly for the Jets, I...

Photo by David Berding/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Shout out to Mr. Wells for holding down the fort over the weekend. The New York Jets have released Corey Davis, who’s looking to make a return to the NFL. While some Jets fans are hoping that Davis will return to the team, I don’t think it’s likely - nor would I want him back on the team. Davis has been out of the league for a year now, and that usually doesn’t bode well for players looking to make a...

Photo by Adam Hunger/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation! With star offensive tackle Tyron Smith in the fold, the Jets biggest remaining need is at wide receiver, where there is pretty much nothing beyond Garrett Wilson on the roster. The Jets will likely select at least one, and maybe multiple wide receivers in the draft, but rookies aren’t always immediately productive. The free agent market is uninspiring, but that’s what we have to work with. The Jets have scheduled a meeting with Mike Williams on Monday. Odell...

The 10 worst calls that went against the Jets in 2023

The 10 worst calls that went against the Jets in 2023

Photo by Amy Lemus/NurPhoto via Sometimes the calls just don’t go your way Back in February, we broke down some of the interesting penalty-related trends that affected the New York Jets in 2023. That review was based solely on the data. However, as we did last season, we’re also going take a look at some individual plays where a call (or no-call) went against the Jets, looking specifically at plays where the call was obviously wrong and/or had a significant effect on the outcome. First, some “honorable mentions” that didn’t crack the top ten. Looking through...

Big news for the New York Jets came down late last night as the Jets announced they were signing former Dallas Cowboys star left tackle Tyron Smith. When healthy Smith is one of the best tackles in the game. Unfortunately Smith has had trouble staying on the field. He has missed more games than he’s played over the last four years. On the other hand, there is word out of Dallas that Smith found a new health regimen last year that helped him play 13 games in...

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports The Jets bring in a guard to help the offensive line Late Monday night, the New York Jets and offensive guard John Simpson agreed to a two-year, $18 million contract. While the exact guarantees around Simpson’s contract have yet to be announced, I would assume it’ll be around half. The deal was met by mostly mixed reviews among Jets fans, as many deals are. In an attempt to ascertain the degree to which the deal was good, bad, or ugly for the Jets, I will dive into Simpson’s Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades, as well as the contract...

Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. It’s being reported that the New York Jets are reportedly shopping around Allen Lazard. Whether the report is true or not, the story in and of itself is a little funny to think about. Lazard had a horrific season for the Jets last year, and, like Zach Wilson, the odds of him having a trade market from other teams seems closer to none than anything. It isn’t just the fact that Lazard had a...
