Locked on Jets 2/13/19 Episode 570: Looking at Defensive Free Agents

Free Agents the Jets Could Target After the NFL Draft 4/22/21: There still are a handful of potentially helpful free agents available this year. Right now things are quiet as teams focus on the NFL Draft. If certain needs are unmet after the Draft, teams like the Jets could go back to free agency to fill them. On today's show we look at some of the players who could draw the Jets' attention. Learn more about your ad choices.

Van Roten, Griffin, Hardee, Rankins: Discussing Potential Jets 2022 Salary Cap Cuts 1/18/22: Every team takes stock of its contracts before the offseason. Sometimes teams are forced to move on from expensive players. These players might be underperforming. They might be good but just not worth the money. They also might have a younger, cheaper talent behind them. On today's show, John discusses some of the key players who could be cap cuts this offseason for the Jets.

Locked on Jets 2/12/19 Episode 569: Looking at Offensive Free Agents: We are on the way to free agency. The Jets cannot start using their cap space to sign free agents from other teams until the new league year begins. Before that, they can address internal matters. The team has a striking number of free agents this year. One of the reasons the Jets are projected to have so much cap space is they have so few players under contract for 2019. A team coming off a 4-12 season needs a major makeover, Many free agents should not return as the Jets should be in the market for upgrades. There might be logic in retaining a few free agents, however, if the price is right. On today's podcast we assess Jets free agents on the offensive side of the football and figure out what the interest level in keeping each of these players should be.

On today's show John focuses on the skill players for the Jets with expiring contracts. What should the team do with these players? Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 5/6/19 Episode 627: Which Free Agents Still Could Help the Jets?: We are well past the point on the calendar when NFL teams can reasonably expect to find impact free agents. The time for signing them was months ago. After that point, teams turned to the NFL Draft. With that now in the rear view mirror, rosters are largely set for the 2019 season. In some isolated cases there still are some decent free agents available. Few if any of these players will move the needle for a team. Many of them would be risky signings due to injury or other factors. If they were not risky, they would not be available this deep into the spring. But they will also be cheap. They also would not be available this deep into the spring if there was great demand. On today's podcast we look at some of the top free agents still available in the NFL to see how many would make good fits for the Jets. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets Episode 632: Questions for Defense: The offseason continues for the Jets. Late last week the team began an orientation for the rookies. Rather than the typical on field instruction most teams hold for their Draft picks, undrafted free agents, and assorted young players the team held a classroom session. The veteran players continue to take part in the team's offseason program. Meanwhile, the fans are waiting for the season. They dream of every player reaching his ceiling. On a podcast episode last week we discussed some of the big questions key players on the offense will have to answer for the Jets. Today we turn our attention to the defense. If players from that side of the ball will hit their ceilings in 2019, what will they need to do? Learn more about your ad choices.

Jets Defensive Tiers Episode 807 2/19/20: Yesterday on our show we placed Jets offensive players under contract into one of four tiers. The top tier is for elite talent. The second tier is for above average players or young players with the potential to get there one day. The third tier is for functional players or young players with the potential to get there. The fourth tier is for players who are lucky to have a spot on an NFL roster. Today we turn our attention to the defensive side of the ball. Things were not pretty on offense. There aren't many building blocks under contract for the Jets. The view is brighter on the defensive side of the ball. The defense was the stronger of the two units for the Jets in 2019. While weaknesses exist at some of the key spots, there is at least a base of talent to work with. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 5/16/18 Episode 413: Something to Prove: This week on the podcast we have taken a look at who are wild cards for the Jets and players who are safe bets to produce. Today we look at players who have something to prove. It is technically true that every player on the roster has something to prove this season. Many of the players are long-shots to even make the roster. Those players are simply trying to prove they deserve a spot in the NFL. I tried to avoid cases like that and focus on players who will likely make the roster and could plausibly contribute to the team if things go right. The five players I name have different things to prove. In a way, all have either their future with the Jets hanging in the balance this year, their career hanging in the balance this year, or both. They are Lorenzo Mauldin, Ardarius Stewart, Brian Winters, Darron Lee, and Teddy Bridgewater. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 4/8/18 Episode 387: The Virtues of Trading Down: The Jets announced late Friday afternoon that they retained a pair of backup offensive linemen. After a few brief thoughts on that, today's podcast focuses on Draft strategy. One specific strategy is the focus, trading down. I firmly believe that teams should look to trade down. This might seem like an odd topic for a show about the Jets considering the team recently made the biggest move of NFL Draft season when it traded up. I take no issue with that right now. There is a time and a place to trade up. The focus today is more general. While teams should not be afraid to trade up when it makes sense, the teams that move down more frequently than they move up tend to win more games. There are reasons for that. In fact, trading down can even make it to find the right time to trade up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

What the Jets Need on Offense Episode 841 4/7/20: Frequently when discussing a team's needs the focus is on whether a team is strong or weak at a given position. There are, however, numerous ways to look at a team's needs. Even if a certain position isn't necessarily a weakness there are likely areas where a position group is incomplete. These are needs within a position. On today's podcast we will take a look at what the Jets need at each position on offense. Compared with the defense, the Jets offense needs a lot of help. The defense was above average a year ago while the offense was ranked at the bottom of the league in many major categories. What specifically could complete offensive positions groups for the team?

Locked on Jets 5/1/19 Episode 624: Taking Stock of the Offense After the Draft: With the NFL Draft over, we now know what the Jets' roster will look like in 2019. There were still be some under the radar signings to fill out the preseason roster. There might even be a late trade or signing of a surprise cut from another team. But we are past the point where the team can reasonably expect to bring in a new player of significance. The team we see today is probably going to be the team we see on the field Sundays this autumn. On today's podcast we take stock of what the Jets have on the offensive side of the football. This is something we do periodically over the course of the offseason. Now that the offseason is complete, we can take one final look at areas of strength and weakness. We will talk about both the starters and the depth at position groups along the offense. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jets Positional Draft Thoughts Episode 845 4/13/20: The 2020 NFL Draft is almost here. The annual event is scheduled for late next week. The Jets currently own the eleventh overall selection, a second round pick, and a pair of third rounders (in addition to their day three picks). There are many goals for the NFL Draft. The most important of these goals is to add desperately-needed young talent to the roster to finally move forward a seemingly perennial rebuild. Another goal which is not totally separate has to be improving critical positions of need. That is the topic of today's podcast. On the show I give some thoughts on how I think the Jets should approach the 2020 Draft from a positional standpoint. Some positions are more important than others in the NFL. Some positions have a deeper class than others in 2020. Some positions are in worse shape than others for the Jets. Some positions are important for long-term investment. I offer thoughts on all of this and more on today's show. by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Locked on Jets 4/8/19 Episode 607: Potential Draft Winners: The 2019 NFL Draft is fast approaching. In just a few weeks, the Jets will be on the clock with the third overall pick (or a different pick in the event there is a trade). At the end of each year's Draft, there are always articles about winners and losers. Some of those articles provide immediate analysis about which teams did the best and the worst. Other articles discuss winners and losers on a specific team. Which players saw their replacements drafted, and which didn't. I think there is another class of winners on a team, players whose jobs were made easier by a pick. On today's podcast we will discuss potential Draft winners for the Jets. If the team selects a player at a certain position these are the players who could ultimately benefit. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jets Draft Strategy Thoughts Episode 840 4/6/20: With free agency now mostly behind us, the focus turns to the 2020 NFL Draft. There are always a handful of late offseason signings, cuts, and trades. Generally speaking, though, the Draft is the last opportunity most teams have to improve their roster for the upcoming season. I would say this year's Draft is very important for the Jets, but the Draft is always important. This will be Joe Douglas' first one running the Jets. He, of course, was hired after last year's Draft. The Jets are currently a team short on young talent, which helps to explain their long postseason drought. This year is another opportunity to change the trajectory of the franchise and bring an infusion of the young talent necessary to win in the NFL.

Free Agency Thoughts 3/20/20 Episode 829: Thursday was a quiet day in free agency for the Jets. The first four days have been relatively quiet overall for the Jets. I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I think it just reflects a new approach for the Jets. So far the new general manager has reportedly set a hard price on each player and been unwilling to go over that price. As we move into the second wave of free agency, I expect to see a bit more activity from the Jets. The second wave is when prices get more reasonable and bargain deals can be made. The Jets have some free agents who have not seen the market they were anticipating. They are Robby Anderson and Jordan Jenkins. Could they return to the Jets if their prices go down. Over the next few days could the Jets add to their depth with relatively inexpensive deals? It would be a change in approach from the old general manager who seemed to view free agency as the method to build his foundation. We discuss all of this on today's podcas by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Locked on Jets 4/4/18 Episode 384: Catching Up on Some Minor Signings: The major impact portion of free agency has now been over for a while. The Jets made a number of moves in the first few days of the league year hoping to upgrade weak spots on their roster. The team continues to make signings of veteran free agents. These signings are for small name players. The team is buying low on these guys. Some of them have talent. Some of them have upside. They all come with flaws, which is why they are available at a cheap rate. Today we look at some of the recent signings the Jets have made looking for diamonds in the rough.

Locked on Jets 3/27/18 Episode 378: Wild Cards: The Jets have done their best to remake their roster and improve on back to back 5-11 records. There will be tweaks between now and training camp. There might even be a big signing or two. There might be a trade. There certainly will be at least one franchise-altering pick in the upcoming Draft. With that said, we now know what most of the roster will look like. There are a number of players who have to be considered wild cards at this point. They could really help the Jets. They also might disappoint for varying reasons. On today's podcast, we look at five such players. I put together a list of the top ten Jets wild cards. Today we will look at numbers ten through six.

Locked on Jets 5/14/18 Episode 411: Wild Cards: The NFL offseason has plenty of twists and turns. Teams change slowly over the course of a few months. We have reached the end of the transaction period. Yes, there will still be some player movement, but it will come at a slow pace and be infrequent. The Jets roster you see today is largely if not entirely the one you will see take the field Week 1 in Detroit. Earlier in the offseason, we discussed wild card type players a bit on the podcast. That came before the NFL Draft. Now that new players are part of the team, we are going to go back and reassess the biggest wild card players on the roster. These wild cards will help shape the 2018 season for the Jets. These are players who could end up being very valuable or not valuable at all. We know Leonard Williams is probably going to produce quite a bit. We know Christian Hackenberg probably won't. The players who will determine whether the season is a success or failure are the less known by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets
