Jets Looking To Move Up

[Slick]

Supposedly called Trent Richardson to verify his contact information...they are working with the Browns to try and get up to #4.

they did it with Dirty a few years back so they won't blink at the price having moved up that further in "08

16 to 4 is a big jump..

Though Richardson would be huge as a Jet.

2 plus a 3?

2 plus a 3?

and maybe next years #1

 

[imthetruth]

I'd love to see us trade up and get him. Pipe dream I know.

1800 - 4th pick overall

1000 - 16th pick

Jets 2nd and 3rd = 610

So you still gotta come with another 190 in value....

So this years 2nd and 3rd plus a 2013 2nd would probably do it

Just depends on the Browns. Jets have to convince them that moving back to 16 for whatever they are giving them in a return is a good deal.

Thanks. I heard that there is something about contracts from 1-10 that make it more attractive to be in the 11+ spot, throwing a wrench into the old draft chart. Read anything like that...I will try to look it up.

yup...Browns have to think a guy that will help them will be there at 16.

Are you guys sure they're not actually trying to trade to #3 to JUMP Cleveland? Minny wants to trade out more than Cleveland IMO. Might be more realistic. I kinda doubt Cleveland will make the same mistake they made last year (I'd take Julio over Phil Taylor, Greg Little, the 22nd and a 5th rounder any day)

So rookies this year will sign for four years, through the end of the 2015 season; but in May 2015, teams have to tell the players if they intend to exercise the fifth years of the contract and lock up players through 2016. For picks 1 through 10 of the first round, that fifth-year salary will be the transition number, the average of the top 10 salaries at the position that season. For picks 11 through 32, the fifth-year salary will be the average of the third through 25th salaries at the position that year.

11 through 32 contracts much lower for 5th year options. Though most if panned out would be restructured by then. I guess it means leverage in negotiations? Myself I'll stick with the old chart as a guide as I'm sure the guys pulling the trigger do.

ESPN's Sal Paolantonio reports Alabama RB Trent Richardson is the No. 1 rated player on the Jets' draft board.
Sal Pal's report comes on the heels of the news that the Jets recently requested Richardson's contact info "just in case" they traded up to get him. The Jets, who choose 16th, leapt from No. 17 to No. 5 to select Mark Sanchez in 2009, but would have to move all the way up to No. 3 overall to ensure landing the draft's top back. It's extremely unlikely to happen.

 

[lp4ever41]

The Jets aren't expected to make a play for Alabama RB Trent Richardson unless he "unexpectedly starts to slide."
"It's ridiculous," one team official said of the current price to move up into the top four. With Richardson not expected to slide any further than No. 6 to the Rams, the Jets won't get the opportunity to make a move for the draft's top back.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I would assume with the low cap number for rookies these days, the trading team would ask for more than they would have, say when Jets went to get Sanchez, no?

 

[Slick]

the price to move has to have teams up there asking for your 2 and 3 plus next years 1.

 

[wheels002]

I can see why Richardson would be their target. He is the best RB in the draft and the Jets offense is stuck in a time warp. While almost every other team is chucking the ball up and down the field the Jets are 3 yds and a cloud of dust style and they really dont have a RB right now that can carry the load except for maybe Tebow.

The Mangenius gave the Jets a sweetheart deal. A bunch of junk and a second.

Because their QB crew stinks..I would suspect >

The Browns are just as dumb, maybe a similar deal..
