in the draft and you&#8217;ve done your job.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s a combination of a middle-of-the-road veteran, a non QB in round one, there&#8217;s a very good chance he&#8217;s getting fired (as he should) if any new QB doesn&#8217;t play at a high level in 2019.<\/li>\n<li>There are some <a

already made up his mind and is headed to Minnesota.\u00a0 Only Cousins knows if that&#8217;s true, but it makes little sense.\u00a0 Why turn down so many offers from the Redskins to hit free agency and then settle on a location before making visits and fielding all offers?<\/li>\n<li>If Austin Seferian-Jenkins is truly <a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/2018\/03\/02\/report-seferian-jenkins-seeking-7-million-annually\/\"><strong>seeking $7 million per year<\/strong><\/a>, the Jets should shift their focus elsewhere.\u00a0 His fast start was a nice story last season, but he disappeared in the second half.\u00a0 For a one-dimensional tight end with no proven track record, $7 million is too much.<\/li>\n<li>How is it we&#8217;re in early March and some Jets fans continue to claim the team shouldn&#8217;t sign Kirk Cousins because they have other needs to fill?\u00a0 Can you be an actual fan and still not realize Gang Green has $90 million in cap room and 8 draft picks?<\/li>\n<li>Here&#8217;s a round-up on some of the recent rumblings regarding the Jets and a few <a

If the team is unwilling to pay for a player such as Weston Richburg as the report claims, what was the point of building up so much cap space?<\/li>\n<li>Given the uncertainty of Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa, the Jets should be in the market for a receiver.\u00a0 The Jags won&#8217;t be tagging Allen Robinson and Jordan Matthews would be an ideal option in the slot as we mentioned <a
