There are only 32 NFL GM jobs in the entire world, but the Jets are having a hard time finding someone to take this position???? Yeah right. It’s called due diligence but I guess that doesn’t jive with the media slant.

Have you taken a look at the team salary projections for next year? Alot of money is tied up in declining/ infective players, and it will be almost impossible to move most of them through trade.
The only hope the Jets have is to improve that roster through the draft and bargin bin free agents. Two areas the franchise has rarely succeeded

He was in the Bahamas. Remember when you came on your keyboard when someone else broke the story about how they saw his tattoo? In the Bahamas? And when you whined about how he wasn’t going to do a news conference when you wanted him to? Because he was in the Bahamas? When they were initially interviewing GM candidates? Remember that stuff? If only there were a record somewhere of news items from that first week after the regular season…

The only way to disassociate that organization from that status is to completely break with the old guard traditions of chasing those teams and try to develop an identity on and off the field that stands on its own, breeds success, views the press as a non-factor and one in which fans will have a sense of pride in.

The owner needs to fire Rex Ryan in order for this to happen. To hold back the entire organization at the expense of one man and his personality is pure folly. If Rex gets a job elsewhere, so what? Break with tradition, bring in a GM that has experience in branding, football personnel and the cap. Let him hire a guy that fits into his philosophy and cut Sanchez. The team may not be playoff caliber next season, but this would be a step in the right direction.

Also, any undesirable cap situation is easily fixed by shrewd drafting and bargain pickups in free agency. So, please stop using the cap as an excuse for this team’s fortunes.

In other words, the GM can´t fire the coach. And they have a bad QB situation, also. Waiting for an endless number of PFT rants on how dysfunctional the Chiefs are.

What, you mean there aren´t any coming?

The good news is that the few remaining Jets fans have probably all but forgotten the “Bum-ble” and other lowlights from the season amid the hand-wringing over who – if anyone – will agree to serve as GM.

Wonder what housing allowance the Jets will offer John Idzik to take this job ?Maybe a Penthouse at Trump Plaza?

The cap issues are the biggest concerns. Mike T. really did some boneheaded things with the cap. Really the GM has a 1 year pass to fix some issues as 2014 the Jets will have much better cap numbers. This first draft will be huge for the new GM – need to bring in some starts and not just 1 like in years past.

The Jets need a former GM who understands what is at stake. Not a salary cap guy, a legit GM candidate with experience. This team needs help in putting together a team not just 1 year players that will leave. Make the right decision
