Some mild nerdery: this year's waivers claims.
Terez Paylor used to say every year that scouting/personnel departments pride themselves on how many of their team's cuts end up getting claimed by other teams: the obvious implication being that you were able to acquire so much talent, other teams are dying to vulture your overflow.
This year, the Chiefs had one player claimed on waivers: Matt Dickerson. But look at this list, and one team shockingly stands out: Buffalo has 3, Minnesota a couple, and a bunch of other teams having one player plucked each. Except known scouting powerhouse the New York Jets, with six players claimed. ![]() I can't ever recall a team having had that many players plucked. This is also coming off the heels of what many people considered to be a grand slam draft class for them. So either this is all a crapshoot or suddenly the Jets scouting department became the best scouting department in NFL history this offseason. |

They had 4 of the first 36 picks in the draft. Even you, with all your head up your ass football takes, couldn’t **** up that draft. The Jets will continue to miss the playoffs and the 7 players claimed on waivers will be out of the league in a few years.

It's legit weird, much as we love to hate on the Jets (and/or me), that teams across the league saw six of their castoffs as must-have snags to pad the bottom of their rosters. I think it's weird because you usually associate so many players getting claimed from one team as evidence that this team has a loaded roster. Spoiler alert: the Jets do not have a loaded roster. So it really means that the Jets cut a lot of enticing guys with desirable traits from their garbage roster. I don't follow the Jets close enough to know the story there: are they coached purely incompetently? Saleh's been there a year; maybe he was ready to move on from a bunch of otherwise really promising players who he simply didn't like for one reason or another. Couldn't he have flipped them for picks? Six players being claimed, despite on paper being some kind of insane bragging rights for the Jets, seems to be kind of a stain. |

The Jets had a great draft and they may be headed in the right direction.
Hopefully they offer the Bills some resistance along the way. |

Maybe that means that other teams know that the Jets can't coach players up.

Instead of making new threads, listen to podcasts with Bigfoot at the George Brett Statue while booking tickets for Belize with your fake girlfriend.

Wait, so a team that's done jack shit for decades has a really good draft, cuts half a dozen players that other teams snatch up right away.... and the conclusion is "NYJ scouts became the best ever"?
![]() And not, you know.... team that's never seemed to know WTF they're doing, seems to ....uh, not know WTF they're doing. ![]()
