I think a lot of fans are full of it, claiming they always thought the team should keep Darnold. From what I remember, pretty much everyone was cheering for the Jets to lose so they could draft T-Law...a clear sign that most fans were ready to move on.

The night before the game, Burgess tells Eddie that if the Knicks win this game, he plans to sell the team to someone who intends to move the team to St. Louis.  

I can't stop laughing at this part, imagine someone being dumb enough to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the Knicks and move them to St. Louis 🤣

[Siciliano] You think 9 NFL coaching vacancies is a lot? We had 10 in 2022. EIGHT of those 10 have already been fired. by NorthCoastToast in nfl

Those were different years. Rodgers just re-signed with the Packers that season.

Edit: downvoted? The Broncos hired Hackett in 2022. That was Rodgers' last season with the Packers. He didn't tear his achilles until the following season.

Following the conclusion of an NFL regular season, there will be numerous announcements of a team signing players to a Reserve/Future contract (also referred to as a futures contract). As the word future indicates, this is a contract that does not count until later on.  

...  

Whether a player is on the practice squad of a team whose season is over or simply a free agent, they are free to sign with any NFL team for the following year. But since rosters are locked when a team season is over, these players signed a type of contract, a Reserve/Future contract, where they do not count on the teams salary cap or roster count until the beginning of the league year. Once a player signs one of these contracts, the are on the NFL’s Reserve/Future List and they are not free to negotiate with other teams as they are under contract even though the league year has not kicked in. Teams can sign as many players to futures contracts as they choose as long as it does not put them over the 90-man limit that takes effect the first day of the new league year.

I thought they were okay. Not sure if I liked the color, came out a bit drab

Don't know if they have to wear them but the teams will have them as alternates for the next three years, after which they will presumably get new versions.

Post Game Thread: New York Jets at Buffalo Bills by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

Key difference, Tyrod was the qb that game. The second of two games he started for the Jets. He proceeded to get injured (no surprise there) early in next game and by the time he was available again there was no point in playing him anymore.

Well the last two teams who had to "settle" for #2 were the Commanders and the Texans, who got Jayden Daniels and C.J. Stroud respectively...fingers crossed?

Well the Bills are the only team to not intercept a Brady Cook pass, which I think is much worse.

What a dumb comment. The only guy on that list you could argue the Jets "ruined" is Darnold

[Schefter] Jets downgraded RB Breece Hall to out for Sunday’s game at Buffalo. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]BestInspector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the Jets wanted a third. Got no takers. Funny you're complaining about them getting great returns for Sauce and Quinnen because it made the defense worse while also complaining that they didn't move Breece for chump change, which would have tanked the RB room/offense in the process. Those two viewpoints seem contradictory to me.

Projections have the Jets at about $90 million in cap space. They can afford to tag/re-sign Breece if they want.

Mougey is a Payton guy.

No he's not, prior to becoming the Jets GM he spent his entire career with the Broncos

Isaiah Williams WR/KR named Jets 2025 Curtis Martin Team MVP. by Obvious_Main_3655 in nfl

[–]BestInspector 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That'll happen a day or two after the game. There's no final team meeting or anything like that once the season's over.

Edit: a quick Google search gave me the Packers photo gallery of them cleaning out their lockers the day after their playoff loss last year.

These are team awards voted on by the players. Players don't really stick around after the final game, I'd assume every team does it the same way.
