Epic **** up by the Jets and brilliant move by Veach.

Good, **** the Jets

Bart strikes again

Ring > No Ring

Easy choice for that guy!

**** the Jets.

Jets did 9/11

Given past history this means that Butker will be out for longer than expected but it won't matter as Shrader hits a 50 yard FG to beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl.

Veach checks the wire like we check fantasy football and he's like,"WTF, Shrader is available?"

Boom, done.

Jets are ****ing morons.

Just hope he like the last kicker from a PS

I think I’d love to see the collective meltdown of NFL fans to see a second consecutive “rematch” of a Chiefs Super Bowl (with the same jersey colors, to boot).

I’d love Patrick to continue his string of Super Bowl passing touchdowns to non hall of famers (his last four have been to Toney, Skyy, MVS and Hardman) by throwing ones to Carson Steele and Peyton Hendershot.

No official number on the roster assigned yet. Only single digit number seemingly available 3

LMAO Of course they did.

That one's retired.

Similar kinda situation when we got Butker originally iirc.

Not understanding what happened here. I thought if somebody offered a contract to somebody on your practice squad you had the right to refuse and give them a spot on your 53-man roster instead. Is it actually treated like free agency instead?

If they’re on the practice squad anyone can claim him as long as they put them on the 53. Which we did because we IRd Butker.

Apparently they elevated him but forgot to get him a contract so he wasn’t signed to the 53. Even though he was their plan for a starting kicker.

That might be funnier than Failway losing Dumerville because he’s too stupid to send a fax.

Lol, NYJ is a dumpster fire. What a bunch of idiots.

Thanks for the summary. That makes sense.

OMG, that is beyond hilarious.

Butker has been dealing with this issue since early on but was still getting through. He probably could have played through the season and taken care of this after winning the Super Bowl. But then Veach sees this young kicker available on the Jets PS and thinks, why not? So, Butker suddenly goes on IR and we pick up some unknown kicker. Everyone is worried about what is going on but really the only reason Butker went on IR at this time is because Veach was able to poach another young kicker off of a PS.

This sounds like the plot of next year's Hallmark movie.

Burnt Vag for the win!

This is like the Dumerville fax machine problem.

Did he just lose money coming to us?

Good to know he was wanted. Because I can handle an average kicker for a short time but I’m still traumatized by the Matthew wright experience

Do feel a little bad about schrader. He went from a potentially long term experience to one where he’ll be booted in a few weeks. But oh well. Just kick well and he’ll get flooded with offers

He played a game without a 53 man roster contract? So what did he get paid for the game? Isn't that, uhh...against the rules?

I was always under the impression that if someone tried to sign a practice squad player, the original team could just sign them to the 53 and that’s that. Apparently, the player gets to choose which team he wants to sign with. That, I didn’t know. When the Chiefs swooped in, the Jets offered him a spot on their 53, and he said “no”. ROFL

If that’s true, and the OP article is legit, you have to like what it says about the player. He had a shot to sign with the Jets and play out the string on a contract. With the Chiefs, he’s only guaranteed playing time until Butker returns. The decision was a gamble and this means he’s betting on himself. He’s also looking at KC’s track record of specialist development. Right now, the three best punters and best kicker have played for or are playing with the Chiefs. Hes gambling that he’ll develop and showcase his skills with the champs and that will land him an opportunity far greater than the Jets were offering.

as it should be, Stenerud was another Chief's legend.

And he gets to get a Superbowl ring and gets to meet Taylor Swift!

While funny, let's see how he does before laughing too much. His college stats aren't exactly encouraging.

Was wondering the same.. this story doesn’t make much sense based on my limited understanding of practice squad elevation..

These days, you can elevate a PS player for up to 3 games without moving them to the active roster.

When that happens, they're paid the active minimum salary for the game I believe.

It’s a wait and see situation for sure. Looking at the Jets transactions, it doesn’t really seem like the article’s hypothesis is all that true. While Zuerlein is out on IR, they needed some combination of kickers to bridge the gap, but they didn’t want to sign a contract. They ran through Riley Patterson, the guy KC just signed, and now they’re rolling with Anders Carlson for a few games.

Butker was a 70% kicker in college.

Naw, Veach was pissed off that Butker kickoff was penalized against the Broncos near end of game giving up field position. Could of cost us. ROFL

The Jets are the new Browns. People shit in their privy at night so they don't have to dig a new one at home

Yeah and he had a year where you had to cross your fingers and hope he made the extra point kicks.

But then he became incredible.

Yeah. Now the rest of.the fanbases are whining about the league helping us.

That's pretty funny, thanks Jets!

Ok, thanks for the info. That makes sense.

Pretty risky move for a franchise that hadn’t had a kicker make a 40+ yarder all season lol

EDIT: Sorry, read the article wrong. They had ONE 40+ yard kick prior to elevating this guy for a game.

Jets fans seem mighty pleased about this turn of events... :D

lol incredible levels of incompetence

"I’m pumped that the Jets had a player that the Chiefs would want."

Lololol. Reminds me of our Herm/Pioli seasons

The bottom reply is my favorite:

"I cannot believe the incompetence of this franchise."

"I cannot believe that you cannot believe the incompetence of this franchise."

“He’s free. Run, Spencer, run!” gave me a good laugh lol

Man, I feel bad for those poor bastards. They're the White Sox of the NFL.

Shrader seems like he's pretty decent as a kicker. When Butker is ready, can we trade Shrader for something?

Past the trade deadline, so no.

And we aren't going to keep him on the 53 either. Looks like the Jets at least wouldn't mind having him back...

I suspect he's gone as soon as Butker is healthy.

Yeah, I hadn't thought about that. damn.

And who wants to bet that our new kicker is about to learn drama?


27-27 with 47 left in the 4th

6/6 on kicks today.

thanks for being such idiots Jets!

This Shrader guy seems nice

maybe we should keep this guy on the roster even when Butker comes back, just in case or something

Big balls.

He hasn't been tested much, but he's been solid for what he's been asked to do. Another nice pickup by Veach.

The entire Jets front office just poured a triple whiskey on that last kick. LMAO
