Two bad for Leon, it is about a year too late.

I am not familiar with the rules. Now that Leon has signed the
tender, he can be traded, right? Id rather keep Leon than get a 4th
or even a 3rd round pick. His potential value exceeds anything they
might draft in rounds 3 and later.

I have to say, I like the way the Jets handled this situation so far.
In the past when a player got whiny they rewarded bad behavior. None
of that here.

You might be right, but financials even things out a little bit.
Drafting a guy in the mid rounds basically gets you a guy for 4 years at
"minimum wage", whereas they have Leon for a heftier price tag for 1
yr, 2 if they franchise him.

But, given what Marshall was traded for, I think the Jets have to at
least ask for a 2nd round pick in exchange for Leon. Even then, given
their other "win now" moves, I think they probably wouldn't do it.

No kidding, would have put $10 MM guaranteed in his contact & starting
his 2nd year of a contract that would make him a FA again at 29-30 years
old. Now, he might be a FA when? If the strike hits and he misses a
year or blows out a knee.

I can understand the comfort of dealing with a young AA. Why not add
competent to that?

Ask yes. And, regardless of its location, any second round pick in this
draft and with us absent a 3rd rounder makes that a good trade.

But, I would settle for a third if someone who might start during the
year at a position of need: DL, OL or S is available when a team offers
us a trade.
