I’ll take the other side here- it could be a cheaper, younger quinnen williams with 5 years of control
Time lines are a thing
We sucked with him and we can suck without him. He’s gonna be 29 and this team isn’t going anywhere for at least two years. It was a no brainer to deal him.
Quinnen wasn’t going to be on this team when (if) they’re good again. He getting to the age where he’s going to ask for a new contract, deservedly so, and I don’t see how a rebuilding team throws crazy money at him right now.
I wasn’t happy about trading Sauce because he’s younger but you don’t turn down two first rounders for him.
Thing is by the time we’re good again, his contract will be up.
He wanted out. Requested a trade 3 times. The trade was as good as you can get of a return for him
Definitely makes sense to get out of Q now. The Sauce one is a little more risky especially since we had him locked down long term.
I’m not exactly sure why we traded Sauce after we re-signed him and he apparently didn’t want out since he was shocked at getting dealt but maybe the concussions were an issue.
We’ll take the box
Nah I am so happy with the haul they got. AG needs the chance to bring in his guys, his signings, etc. I’ll miss big Q and Sauce whole lot but it made sense to get the picks. Also Q wanted out anyway
Rebuilding since 2010 gotta love it.
He is an all pro. But, in addition to all the people saying we’re not going to be any good for the next couple years with or without him, football players are highly susceptible to injury and even injuries that can be played through may materially reduce the effectiveness of the player so there’s no guarantee he’ll be at an all pro level in a couple years. So it’s best to cash in while we can with him.
People posting this are just straight up not understanding that rookies are cheap and half the game is managing the salary cap
I love Q but he has 1 sack and only 3 qb hits this season
Man do I always hate this joke that’s repeated thirty thousand times whenever someone is traded
Very real risk Quinnen will start aging out and regressing by the time the Jets are ready to compete again. It’s stupid to keep him if you have a good deal lined up for him.
Its quarterback or nothing. Simple as that. These assets give us a shot at a stud
I don’t think the meme applies in this situation. The point of these moves isn’t to find Quinnen or Sauce 2.0. It’s to change the direction of the team into one that can foster a young QB. You don’t need to replace Quinnen or Sauce with these picks, you need to create a more successful overall team. For example if the jets take the Quinnen picks and draft a solid WR2 and guard, the jets won’t have a player who is as good as Quinnen but they might be a better overall team because the trade allows them to improve at two positions and most importantly allow a QB to succeed
Funny meme. Love that episode. But managing a team with a salary cap dictates this.
I’m Randy Quaid in Major League. I do not trust this front office to do anything smart.
This isn’t as valid for Quinnen, It is for Sauce though. Trading him makes no sense and a Star corner is much harder to replace than a Star DT.
There’s fairness to this. But Q is almost 28. I just don’t think his prime lined up with this team’s eventual window of contention.
You could make this case about Sauce but selling high on an aging player who wanted out was incredibly smart. And I say that as someone who loves Quinnen and am super bummed he won’t retire a career Jet.
I *love* the blatant disregarding people who are in their feelings have for the fact that Quinnen requested a trade *three times* this season.
Now with all these picks, do we still need to go tank? I know we’ll likely to lose due to lack of talents now. But we don’t need to intentionally lose anymore, right?
It could even be Micah Parsons!
It’s clear to me that the org has realized QB purgatory needs to end.
Worst QBs on aggregate across the NFL in the Super Bowl era? Maybe Chicago? Maybe Browns?
* Quinnen Williams at a fraction of the cost for 5 years
These first round picks can turn into more first round picks in 2031!
Am I the only one who thing Quennin is really good but not generationally good? He’s not Warren Sapp.
It could be a cheaper, younger Quinnen Williams.
People acting like age and contract term arent things
I feel more like this about sauce than Williams. Sauce was the known star and still young. William was ripe for a trade, considering his age, position, and where the Jets are
Q is gonna turn 29 next year and wouldve needed another extension. He also objectively hasnt moved the needle much in the last two years…dudes a good player and a great dude but it was time to move on.
Find a new joke people, you killed this one already
The issue is more so that we aren’t going to be good for as long as he is under contract. They were paying (well-deserved) superstar money in a situation where they need to afford 7-8 meaningful upgrades before they’re ready to care about having elite individual players on defense.
Garrett and Breece are a bit different of a situation since they’ll be important in developing our next QB, but there just wasn’t really a reason to have Sauce and Q around sadly. Four average players on cheap 5-year deals, aka what first and second round guys are, are just more valuable to the team.

In rebuild mode since Super Bowl III
