Photo by Carmen Mandato/ The Tenth Annual Gang Green Nation Offseason Plan Contest is now in the books. We wish to thank all those who took the time and effort to engage in the complex and difficult task of thinking through an integrated plan for the 2023 Jets offseason, including salary cap management, trades, roster cuts and the draft. This stuff isn’t easy, and perhaps it gives everyone who participated a bit of appreciation for how difficult Joe Douglas’ job is. We had an unusually low number of entrants this year, perhaps because Aaron Rodgers sucked the air...

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/ The 2023 GGN Community Mock Draft is now open. The Carolina Panthers are on the clock. Selections may be made immediately, and as soon as one selection is made the next selection is on the clock. However, NO PICK IS DUE PRIOR TO WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29 AT 7 A.M. EDT. We’d like to move this along as briskly as possible, so if people are ready to pick right away that’s great, but everybody still gets at least 12 hours from the official opening time of 3 P.M. Tuesday, March 28, 2023. Please note that if your 12 hour time slot falls any time between...

Shortly we will be conducting the 2023 Gang Green Nation community mock draft, and we want all of you fine people to take part... well at least as many of you fine people as this exercise will allow.

The rules for the mock draft are as follows: Superhuman will take the Jets. Part of the purpose of this is to study and...

Photo by Al Pereira/ for New York Jets Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets have been rumored to be interested in a handful of old geezers (from an NFL players point of view) lately. Ezekiel Elliott, Odell Beckham, Jr., and of course, Aaron Rodgers have all been reported to be Jets targets, with Rodgers very likely to end up in the Green and White. The latest geezer rumored to be a Jets target is defensive lineman Calais Campbell. While Campbell has had a tremendous NFL career, he hasn’t played a full...

Photo by Cliff Hawkins/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets have reconstructed their wide receiver room this offseason, adding Mecole Hardman and Allen Lazard, trading away Elijah Moore, and losing Jeff Smith in free agency. Rumors have the Jets interested in bringing in Odell Beckham, Jr. as well. All of which begs the question: why is Corey Davis still on this team? Reports all offseason suggested Davis was a goner, long before the Jets started making moves. Yet through it all, Davis remains. This...

Photo by Al Bello/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets continue to be relatively quiet in free agency. While they have been linked to several big name free agents, the Jets’ only major acquisition so far has been wide receiver Allen Lazard. If the Jets are really going all in this year to take advantage of a very limited window with Aaron Rodgers, at some point the Jets are going to have to add some pieces along the offensive and defensive lines, as well as perhaps a ball hawking safety and a running...

Photo by Larry Radloff/Icon Sportswire via Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets have added a couple of journeyman offensive linemen in Wes Schweitzer and Trystan Colon-Castillo. These guys add some depth, but the offensive line still looks like the Jets are going to need some good fortune for it to hold up for Aaron Rodgers this season. If Mekhi Becton comes back strong and stays healthy, and Duane Brown holds off Father Time and recovers from his injury, and Alijah Vera-Tucker comes back strong from...

Photo by Stacy Revere/ According to multiple reports the New York Jets have agreed in principle to a four year, $44 million contract with former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard. As we are still in the legal tampering period, no free agent signings become official until 4 pm tomorrow, March 15. Allen Lazard is a 27 year old, 6’ 5”, 227 pound wide receiver originally signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2018. Lazard never played for the Jaguars. He was cut multiple times in 2018 before the Packers claimed him off waivers late...

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/ It’s here, oh, it’s finally here! The awe inspiring, cataclysmic, revolutionary, expeditionary, only once a year, and sometimes not even that, the thing we’ve all been hoping for and dreaming of, the only thing that makes life worth living, the one, the only 10th Annual AGOP contest! Yay!!! Each offseason, we put aside the hopes and dreams of the previous Jets season, to be replaced by new hopes and dreams, usually illusory, sometimes delusional, of the season to come. To that end Gang Green Nation is announcing the greatest thing in the...

Photo by Stacy Revere/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation! Today is the beginning of Daylight Savings Time in the United States. In years past that meant remembering to “spring forward” and reset all your various clocks and watches an hour ahead. Those days are gone for the most part, as most devices reset themselves automatically these days. As we continue the interminable Aaron Rodgers vigil, the New York Jets and the NFL are about to spring forward into the legal tampering period of NFL free agency. Beginning...

Photo by Elsa/ The New York Jets have restructured the contracts of guard Laken Tomlinson, cornerback D.J. Reed and tight end Tyler Conklin. In the process the Jets freed up approximately $15.2 million under the 2023 NFL salary cap. That is the approximate cap room needed to add Aaron Rodgers to the roster if the Jets can work out a trade with the Green Bay Packers, and if Rodgers actually wants to play for the Jets. While the clearing of enough cap space to get the Rodgers deal done is probably not coincidental, it also may not mean any deal is imminent. The new league...

Photo by Sarah Stier/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation! All indications seem to point to Aaron Rodgers eventually being traded to the New York Jets, but we continue to wait for Rodgers himself to give any indication he wants to play for the Jets. In two more days the legal tampering period for free agents begins. It would be nice to know one way or the other by then, but who knows when Rodgers will come around to letting people know his intentions? In the meantime there’s nothing to do but wait. Here are your links...

Photo by Dick Raphael /Sports Illustrated via Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation! The NFL Scouting Combine tested the quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends on Friday. The wide receivers for the most part failed to impress. The tight ends looked like a potentially special class. The guy who stole the show, however, was Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson, who wowed everybody with a show of athleticism for the ages. Whether that athleticism will ultimately translate to success in the NFL remains to be seen....

Photo by Ethan Miller/ Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation! The NFL Scouting Combine is in full swing, and two things expected to happen have not as yet happened. Aaron Rodgers has not made his decision regarding his future, and Derek Carr has not signed anywhere. So we continue to wait for the new Jets starting quarterback. In the meantime, a lot of prospects are running very fast times at the combine. Seems like these freak athletes get freakier by the year. Here are your links to your New York Jets this glorious...
