Former First Team All-Pro Braxton Berrios

[Andrew Ryan]

Trading down when Mims was on the board when he was considered by many (including me) to be the best WR on the board was a red flag to how highly the Jets actually viewed Mims.

I agree. His fall followed by our decision to trade back before taking him was definitely a red flag.

I skimmed through this interview and didn’t get that sense.

Berrios sounded like he’s open to the free market/highest bidder type situation.

Said the Jets and him have “talked”

Had good things to say about Zach, MLF, and Saleh.

Also said that Belichick called Gase directly to let him know he got a good one after Berrios was cut by NE/signed by us.

[Heismanberg]

Yeah, not sure how he came away from that interview with that opinion.

[Derek Smalls]

Because Will Parkinson seems kind of like a dolt.

I'll be honest I'm not going to listen to it but non-commital answers are expected, they don't want to lose leverage later.

Cimini just tossing out there a Berrios contract demand rumor from the senior bowl of “top slot receive money” which would put him around $9 million per year.

For me if Berrios can get that, good for him man. We can’t pay him that, he’ll I’m hesitant to give him half of that per year.

I'd do it if the years were right. We can cut Davis if he isn't living up to his contract after 2022, Moore and hopefully a 2022 draftee will be on rookie deals.

Hard to put a price on continuity

[bojanglesman]

I'd think it's overpriced if he were just a slot WR.  The punt/kick return element he gives
makes it reasonable.

3 months ago, half this board hated Berrios. Now we want to give him $9M per?

This is what I was worried about when every Jets fan was thinking that we have to bring back Berrios. I would like to bring him back, too, but people were underestimating his market value.

Overpaying Berrios is preferable to not improving the WR corps in 2022.

Of course that's a false dilemma, but I welcome anyone to outline a realistic off-season that accomplishes that without bringing back Berrios. Which big FA are we landing? How many high picks are we gonna spend on pass-catchers?

[Heismanberg]

We should spend at least two premium picks on pass catchers

We should spend at least two premium picks on pass catchers

The fact that we should do this with or without Berrios tells me we shouldn’t be spending $9 million a year on the guy. That’s like 1/5 of our “spending money” this offseason.
