Like was said earlier, I am surprised that JS had a deal but PC said now. I would have thought it would have been the other way around with the big rift apparently between Pete and Russ.
It feels like we are going to have to put a lot of faith in Waldron to put an offiense in place that gets the ball out of Russ's hands fast (as long has he's willing) and be successful....and Pete is going to have to keep his hands off - probably the hardest part of this.
Even though I think there is a problem there is a part of the 4 teams where Russ would like a trade that didn't make sense to me. When it comes to fit and that team's ability to deal they didn't really make sense.
Dallas - was looking to sign Prescott long term. Why would they trade the assets to get Russ instead
Saints - fits a neat but despite what people say that you can create cap room, no way from the cap hell they were in
Raiders - Another team with not a lot of cap room and considering what they have done gutting their line how would they have fit Russ in?
Bears - Unrealistic trade considering there was no QB there that could come the other way. When they said 2 Bears starters coming the other way in the potential trade, ugh I was thinking if it went down Nick Foles would be our new. starting QB.
Maybe I am over-thinking it, but Russ and his camp are calculating and put thought into everything. Did he purposely pick teams thet didn't would be hard to deal with so he could get the message out that he was unhappy and looking to leave? But frame it so a deal realistically couldn't happen....playing a game of chicken? And Pete and Jon doing the same thing, listening to offers but when push came to shove, Pete came to senses and backed off.
It's going to be a quite the off-season....and even with Russ not listing them, all the draft capital the Jets have and their need for a QB will keep me nervous until draft day.
