Raiders have traded TE Doug Jolley and a 2nd rounder to the Jets for their 1st rounder. |

The Jets are reeruned. They must have a six year-old as the GM.

Very nice spin Laz. I think Carl is trying just hard if not harder but he is not trying as hard to sell tickets via the media. You would not believe the Media BS the Bears create up here to appease the fans and give them hope. Bottom Line, I think the Chiefs have made better overall moves than the Raiders. Knight and Bell are just the beginning. The Chiefs have proven when they built this offense that they know the formula. It was built via trades and Free agency. The crappy defense was mostly built through the draft. I am, as usual very optimistic! ![]() |

The Jets must have a kindergarten student as their GM.

The more I think about it, the Jets must have a toddler as their GM.

I don't know. I don't think it's the greatest move in the world but I don't think it's really horrific either for the Jets. They made certain they got a TE instead of hoping for one to fall to them, and picked up an extra draft pick in the process. Plus the Jets have done a solid job drafting in recent years, they essentially got their TE with the late 1st rounder and got an extra pick in doing so. I can see the thought process behind it... especially when you're confident in your ability to draft good players.

If you want to call years of conditioning "drugs" I am doing them. I look at the NFL as a business like any other. Teams that are sold out, especially in high demand small markets like the Chiefs and Packers do not need to make the same "high profile" public moves that "Large Market" sold out or "small market not sold out" teams do. The Raiders are in a much weaker position market wise than most other teams in the NFL, they need to make headlines to get those Oaklanders to buy tickets. Would you trade what the Chiefs have done for what the Raiders have done this off season seriously? If so, we are in total disagreement. You are clearly one of the leaders on this board of the bash bunch, but you do know your stuff and I respect that. But to say Carl Peterson is not trying to put the best hand together with the cards he has to play is truly ignorance IMO. There is a difference between making mistakes and not trying. People may not understand all of his moves, and he may not pander to the media the way people would like, but I truly believe he is doing the best he knows how. I am personally glad he is with the Chiefs. |

I think the Jets must have an infant as their GM.
