Sermon on Mount Becton

[Derek Smalls]

That is the type of trade you would like to make with Mims, but if Jenkins can't play on the Bears OL, that's a bad sign.

His knee cap is his patella lol

They don't teach that in Marvel movies.

[Badger]

So his knee was never really right and the subluxation happened again, potentially causing a chip in his knee cap.

Sign Duane Brown and trade Denzel Mims to Chicago for Tevin Jenkins.

Have Mims gain 120 lbs and move him to tackle.

Imagine if we drafted Teven Jenkins over Elijah Moore last year like some people wanted.

#Jets OT Mekhi Becton has suffered an avulsion fracture of the right knee cap, per me and
@MikeGarafolo
. He’s seeing a surgeon tomorrow, but likely is out for the year. Brutal.

good night, sweet prince.

Feel bad for Becton, but hard to wear "Big Bust" shirts all offseason after you lost your first 2 seasons due to injury, and then your 2022 season ends before the first preseason game.

It is what it is.

Sign Brown as a stopgap this year, and target OT in the first round of the 2023 draft.

There's no "good news" to an injury like this, but it is better that this injury happens now than in Week 1. It gives us more time to replace him, and bring in a guy like Brown.

It will also be fascinating to see what this does with Fant. On one hand, Fant has more leverage as the only trustworthy tackle on the roster. On the other hand, if the long-term plan is 1st-round OT in 2023, then it could make sense to bring Fant back on a franchise tag, bring Becton back, and have the 2 compete with the rookie for the 2 spots. Especially if Fant wants more money than the Jets are willing to give.

Why? He's made $18M doing a whole lot of nothing.

[Derek Smalls]

Why? He's made $18M doing a whole lot of nothing.

Because he just tore up his knee, fucked up his next contract, and potentially fucked up his career?

But he's got $18M in the bank. Barring poor financial decisions, he will be able to support his family for generations to come.

I don't see why this would prohibit anyone from feeling empathy for him for having a career ended by injuries before it had a chance to really begin.

Don't you know? Once you have over $1M in your bank account, you are banned from every earning sympathy from anyone.

$18M  before taxes

Guy's just been dealt a mind-numbing blow and has to be besides himself what with this latest setback.  Hang tough Big Ticket.
