The Wade/Lebron Meme with Idzik giving the Alley Oop to Duff is one of the best of all time and aged so so well

The crazy thing about Maccagnan is that no one hired him when he was let go.  Idzik got another job in the league almost immediately.

In fairness Maccagnan did an awesome job in year 1 with the cap space that Idzik left him. There's a reason he won NFL Exec of the Year in 2015.

Maccagnan got extremely lucky that Geno Smith got punched in the face and that Ryan Fitzpatrick had a good year.

I've thought about this a couple of times. From what I remember, Maccagnan was a really respected scout who worked his way up. You'd think he could at least land a job scouting again.

Maybe he made some enemies around the league as Jets GM?

I never realized/thought about this

Just like most of his busted draft picks

It could also be that Duff is content with sitting on his derriere collecting his money. As management's contracts are fully guaranteed. He's not going to get anywhere near that money taking a high level scouting position. He gets paid through the year 2020.


Lets do this check after 2020 and see if he gets a job.

We re-signed DB Bennett Jackson

Solid special teamer that played for us and Baltimore last year

Dorsett to Seattle.

One of our Robby backup plans is gone

I’m kinda happy about this. Dorsett isn’t close to being as good and wasn’t a very good backup plan.

I wonder if Douglas told him to go elsewhere...

I wonder how much of a factor coronavirus is going to be for free agents. The situation has gotten a lot more grim, and NY/NJ is the worst hit area of the country.

Either the nfl is going to delay offseason activities/the start of the season. Or NY will still be going through some excrement with people like Cuomo saying this can be an 8 month ordeal for NYers.

Maybe it could just be optics, but Id imagine this is something nfl players (especially with families) could be concerned about

If someone is going to offer you millions of dollars per year to play in NYC you are going to take it. Corona isn’t going to last forever. It will end up being a distant memory in 6 months

[Derek Smalls]

Coronavirus is certainly a factor, but not at all in the way you mention. Guys with medical and personal issues like Clowney and Robby have probably been hurt by it. No face-to-face meetings.
