ASAP came and went months ago. They have known since training camp last year that Pittmans contract needed restructuring. We are risking losing Pierce by this play. I do not like it, to risky.

In 1967, Joe Namath became the first QB in professional football history to throw for over 4,000 yards in a season (he threw for 4,007 yards.)

Namath did that in a 14-game season, and when the rules for defensive backs were stacked overwhelmingly IN FAVOR of the defense.

To this day, even with the 17-game season and with the rules STACKED AGAINST the defense in regard to the passing game, no Jets QB has thrown for 4,000 or more yards in a season.

Thoughts?


Jordan Schultz
@Schultz_Report
Sources: The #Giants have informed LB and defensive captain Bobby Okereke that he will be released.

The team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year amassed 385 tackles in 3 seasons with the Giants (143 last season), but now will get a head start on free agency. Okereke was entering the final year of a 4-year $40M contract and was due to make $9M.

I’m afraid that dude is gone. I guess it could be a negotiating ploy, but that sounds like a guy who fully expects to be leaving.

The guy can most likely have his pick of team and QB that he wants. It boggles the he may hit free agency.

I'll never be upset with a guy that gets his payday. He's earned it. I just hope if the offers are close he chooses here.

I'd like to know sooner than later so they can decide on MJP. I don't think they keep both We should be able to trade MJP fairly easily for a decent return IMO

He should have been franchised. I hope I'm wrong but I'll be surprised if we get more than half a season out of Jones.

Oh yeah, I wish him the best. Go get your money, dude. I agree that if the money is even, I hope he chooses to stay.

Then again, if a team like Buffalo offers him the same money and he’d get the chance to play with Josh Allen, I really wouldn’t expect him to come back.

And if he does leave, maybe Ballard can trade for AD Mitchell.
