Beckton's plantar fascia is a concern for both he and Zach

The Athletic's Connor Hughes noted Jets WR Elijah Moore has "been the most impressive player at OTAs and it’s not really close."
Moore (5'9/178), the Jets' second-round pick this year, has played inside and outside receiver during his brief time in OTAs. Hughes also noted that Moore has been uncoverable near the goal line which is doubly impressive given his lack of size. If the Jets decide to keep Jamison Crowder, Moore will likely open the year competing with Denzel Mims for reps on the outside. Mims, who has worked with the second-team offense so far, already looks to be falling behind Moore. Don't be surprised to see Moore's fantasy stock skyrocket if he continues to impress throughout the summer.

Hot take #1 for the year ahead;

The Jets number 1 receiver by the end of the 2021-22 season hasn't played a snap for them yet and isn't Corey Davis or Elijah Moore (although he could easily lead the team in yard too)

The Jets just released a 4-part docuseries on their offseason, 'Flight 2021'

I know some other teams have done similar docuseries this offseason that were received well here, and given that the Jets had a very eventful offseason, I figured I'd share in case anyone is interested.

Cheers, I'll give that a watch sometime

Keelan Cole is who I was referring to, since nobody guessed (could be bothered)

Jets OC Mike LaFleur said he wants WR Denzel Mims “playing better inside.”
Mims repped with the Jets’ second-team offense at minicamp. Keelan Cole has started opposite Corey Davis, though neither Cole or Mims are locks to play in three-wide sets with Jamison Crowder returning. The Jets want Mims, an eight game starter last year, to earn his starting role in training camp.

The New York Post's Brian Costello suggests Jets TE Tyler Kroft "might end up with the starting job" over Chris Herndon.
"Kroft has been one of the bigger surprises of the spring," Costello writes. "He has seen a lot of time with the starting unit and...could beat out Chris Herndon for the job if Herndon does not shake out of the funk he was in last year." The Jets and OC Mike LaFleur, a student of Kyle Shanahan's, are clearly attempting to clone San Francisco's offense in utilizing players with YAC ability, leaning on both Keelan Cole and Kroft over Denzel Mims and Herndon in first-team reps throughout the spring. Kroft spiked 42/404/7 as a full-time player with the Bengals in 2017 but has since been healthy for only 26 of a possible 48 games. Fantasy managers' best bet is to ignore New York's tight end position completely while it shakes out.

And this pops up on mfl, itshappening.gif. , Makes sense, Davis and Mims are fairly similar. Cole is more shifty and athletic. Cole or Moore will lead the team in receiving yards this year..

Cole has played well in camp and will be in New York's wide receiver rotation, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Cimini implied that Cole has looked better than second-year wideout Denzel Mims, who most have penciled into the starting spot opposite Corey Davis. Rookie Elijah Moore's also on hand to compete for snaps at wide receiver, but it sounds like Cole should at least carve out a consistent role if not an outright starting spot with his new team

Robert Saleh: “I’m genuinely excited for adversity”

Posted by Myles Simmons on July 19, 2021, 8:55 AM EDT

Jets head coach Robert Saleh seems fully aware his team isn’t supposed to be very good in 2021.

His honesty is fairly refreshing. After the Jets finished 2-14 last season under Adam Gase — at times looking like they wouldn’t win a game all year — a quick turnaround was always going to be unlikely. Then the team drafted Zach Wilson at No. 2 overall, and the rookie signal-caller is slated to begin the season as the starter.
So even as Saleh was pleased with his first offseason program, he recently told Albert Breer of SI.com that he’s looking forward to seeing where the bumps in the road appear.

“Everything’s been awesome,” Saleh said. “Call it the greatest honeymoon in the world, if you want. It’s been great. But I’m genuinely excited for adversity. Because a lot of different things are going to pop up. There are coaches that are going to find out about themselves. There’s the scouts and the G.M., there’s myself, the players, the training staff. Everybody’s going to find out a little more about themselves when adversity hits.

“I think that’s when teams have their greatest amount of growth—it’s through adversity. And so with training camp, , that’s what I’m most excited for. I wanna see how people respond.”

As a former member of Kyle Shanahan’s 49ers staff, Saleh saw a lot of that kind of process play out with San Francisco. He noted that a lot of growth for the team’s 2019 Super Bowl run came from playing without quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for most of the 2018. The quarterback tore his ACL in Week Three and San Francisco finished that year 4-12.

“And that offseason, you saw the players respond exactly the way you wanted them to respond, and that led to the 2019 season,” Saleh said. “I really believe it stemmed from ’18, it stemmed from all that adversity, it stemmed from guys’ knowing that they’re capable of so much more. Through injury-ravaged seasons, they were still able to compete, and be right at the doorstep.”

The Jets are going to rely on a lot of young players in 2021, so there figures to be a lot of growth throughout the season. If the club responds positively to the adversity Saleh knows is to come, then New York should be competitive sooner than later.

Zach Wilson is the only Jets player absent for the start of training camp.
The No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft still hasn't signed his rookie deal. “This is a business,” Robert Saleh said as Jets' training camp kicked off Tuesday. “When (the contract) gets done, it gets done.” Rookie contracts taking this long to hammer out is highly unusual. No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence last month signed a four-year deal worth $36.8 million, including $24.1 million guaranteed. Wilson is likely to report to camp soon, though his contract status is worth monitoring in the coming days.

Jets, Zach Wilson issues include cash flow, offsets

Posted by Mike Florio on July 27, 2021, 3:19 PM EDT

For rookie contracts, the dollars and cents are tied to draft position. From that perspective, there’s nothing to negotiate. The higher the player selected, however, the more issues to discuss.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Jets and quarterback Zach Wilson have struck multiple roadblocks on the path to a contract for the second overall pick in the draft. Issues include (but aren’t limited to) cash flow and offset language.

As to cash flow, the Jets want to defer millions in signing bonus money earned by Wilson when he executes the contract to 2022. The recent precedent for players taken in the top two include all signing bonus money paid promptly. (Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the last two No. 1 overall picks, got theirs within 15 days of signing. The last two second overall picks, 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa and Washington defensive end Chase Young, received their signing bonus within 30 days of signing.)

The Jets paid out the full signing bonus received by quarterback Sam Darnold, the third overall pick in the draft, in 2018, the year he was drafted. The Jets hope to break from precedent and push money into 2022 based on the “new boss” argument, pointing to the change in G.M. from Mike Maccagnan to Joe Douglas. That hasn’t gotten Wilson to blink, and there’s no reason to think it will.

As to offset, it’s always a simple matter of whether a guarantee is a true guarantee. If the Jets can protect themselves by forcing someone else to pay the balance of the four-year contract if Wilson busts, it’s not a true and full guarantee. Players want the offset language removed (few actually get that term) in order to receive a true and full guarantee.
Meanwhile, the Jets will move forward with training camp without Wilson — and with James Morgan and Mike White as the only two quarterbacks in camp.

Let’s mention that again. Without Wilson, the only options at quarterback are James Morgan and Mike White.

In other words, Wilson has a bit of leverage here.

Sit out Zach and demand a trade to Carolina next offseason.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Exactly....biggest dick move ever...

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

penny pinching billionaires. absolute joke of an organisation.

Jets coach Robert Saleh said he expects DL Quinnen Williams (foot) to miss at least the first two weeks of training camp.
Williams was initially expected to be back in time for training camp before being placed on the active/PUP list less than a week ago. He is currently recovering from surgery needed to repair a fractured foot bone. It's slightly concerning to see his return date pushed back but Saleh said that the team is simply taking the slow approach with him. Williams tallied eight sacks and earned a top-10 grade among defensive linemen by Pro Football Focus last year.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Poor Rich

 

[Exe Gesis]

Exactly.....you are all in on him, drafted so high, hes the future, so BE all in then, give him what he wants, stop haggling over dimes ffs

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Keelan Cole....being saying it all offseason.

The Athletic's Connor Hughes reports Jets WR Denzel Mims is "working entirely with the second-team offense."
As was the case in the spring when Mims was playing behind Corey Davis, Keelan Cole, Elijah Moore, and even Braxton Berrios at times. Robert Saleh and the new coaching staff clearly haven't bought into what Mims, the team's second-round pick last year, is selling on the field, instead opting for potential YAC from Cole in two-wide sets. New York will ultimately rotate their receivers (veteran Jamison Crowder included) on game days, but Mims can't possibly be valued in re-draft leagues given the overwhelming amount of news working against him from training camp.
