This Is A Major Trade Development For The Jets...

This is a major question for the New York Jets. In a season that is spiraling out of control at 2-6, General Manager Darren Muji is about to get called, if he is not already, about many key veteran performers on Aaron Glenn's squad. How much longer Aaron Glenn will be here? That's a question too, but today we're going to discuss how much will veteran... Demario Davis be impacted by the upcoming trade deadline and will he remain in the green and white for the foreseeable future? I have my doubts. We'll get into all that today on Jets Digest. Thank you for tuning in. I am Josh Byrne. If you have been watching, engaging with the daily content, please do consider subscribing as it helps out the channel immensely. Demario Davis still produces for the Jets. It is crazy to think about because I was in middle school when he was drafted He was drafted when Rex Ryan was still the head coach, which is just insane to think about, and he was a good player on the Jets in the mid-2010s, and then he goes to the Saints, and he just becomes an all-pro, future Hall of Famer in my opinion, linebacker, and I would say the most impressive aspect just isn't that he's been a great player, but how long he's been a great player for. DeMario Davis has 53 tackles and two sacks on the year. He's 37 years old. He doesn't miss a play. He's one of the most used linebackers in the NFL when you look at snap count. And again, the guy's 30, like, the guy is 37. Like, he's been doing this since... Since, like, the early part of the second term of Obama's administration. So, I mean, it is just crazy to think about. You are starting to see some nodes of decline, as you would expect. At times, he has really struggled this season. But the fact of the matter is, is that despite playing a bulk of his career with the New Orleans Saints, he is fifth all-time. On the total tackles list for the New York Jets. That is pretty insane to think about as well. And not only is he a producer, but he is a 1A S-tier leader. He says, my life is one that's been molded through adversity. No, not the camera guy. But... No matter how dark it gets, you just got to find a way to keep taking steps forward. That was a quote that was provided by DeMario Davis shortly after the last game. And he is saying everything that a veteran player who's in a leadership position you would want to say. But you can tell it's wearing on him. It's wearing on everybody. And this season has gotten out of control, which is why I'm trading yes on Aaron Glenn being the next head coach out. And look, I'm not. I am not a proponent of getting rid of coaches mid-season. The Jets did that a few years ago, or I guess a couple years ago, with Robert Saleh after the 2-3 start. And I don't think that helped things at all. In fact, I think that made things worse. Not that that's, you know, the only time that's ever happened and that, you know. But to me... With football, just with the schematics, I think compared to other sports, it's less conducive to winning to change the coach mid-year. Baseball, you want to change the manager in May or June. Oftentimes that pans out and it works and it lights a fire. There's a different voice in a room. But football, you're building a whole roster from the vision of the head coach in many cases. You're scheming out. You're building the rest of the coaching staff from the vision of the coach. And so for individual player development, Even if. Aaron Glenn's not doing a great job, which he isn't. I still think, especially when you have a team like the Jets, a young team, that it's in their best interest to keep him for the rest of the year. That being said, I don't foresee any in-season firings. But when Black Monday rolls around in early January, and you know the Jets won't be going to the playoffs, because if they were, this wouldn't be a discussion. Aaron Glenn's gone.

When we look at DeMario Davis's contract, the Jets gave him a bit of a payday. It was a two-year $22 million deal. That is just not correct information for the contract, but he is signed through next season. And when you look at, you know, the fall-off of him, it is apparent, okay? Yeah, he's he's Racked up 53 tackles, he has two sacks, that's great, but unfortunately, he is declining. There's no doubt about it, he is not the same player he once was. That being said, I think there is enough name value there, and I also think there's an argument to be made that he hasn't schematically been put into the best possible situation, and And for that reason, I think you should consider trading him if there's a good return. Now, if Darren Moore's sitting there and he's getting calls, and the calls are, you get fourth round, fifth round, I'm not doing it. But if he's getting calls and teams are offering second or third round picks for DeMario Davis, I'd be inclined. I'd be inclined. The biggest X factor for me with DeMario's value isn't necessarily his... His production on the field, because you know he's going to go out there, he's going to rack up the tackles, he's going to be the captain of that defense. It's his leadership. The Jets haven't had a leader like him in a while. Now, I've always praised and admired Garrett Wilson. I think he just always says the right thing, and you think about what he's been through with this franchise, where all he's done is lose. DeMario Davis came back like Geno Smith did. And he took it upon himself to be part of the change. And it's really a shame that, unfortunately, it's appearing like not to his own fault, even though, yes, his play is declining. He will not be able to change this program. And for a team with so many young players, especially on defense, you know, you look at a guy like D'Angelo Pons, David Bailey. These guys are looking up to DeMario Davis. Have the Jets taken steps forward on defense this year? Yes. Obviously not enough. And obviously it's gone backwards in recent weeks. And I think that largely falls on the head coach. But at some point, it's a risk-reward type of situation. Is it worth giving up a guy who can be a spark plug in the locker room? And help be a leader and a mentor for the younger players? Or is it worth it to continue stockpiling draft picks? And the Jets already have a ton of draft capital, but I don't think you can have too much draft capital. Like, I guess, you know, there is a salary cap, and, you know, you can't literally have every pick, but a second or third round pick, that's something to sneeze at there. And Darren Moore has shown that he is a capable drafter. And Darren Moore is a guy who I believe will be in that spot to draft. Aaron Glenn, I don't believe, is in the spot to coach. Does Demario Davis really want to work with another coach next year? Probably not a huge factor for him. But does he want to win? Is he even going to play next year? All valid questions, despite the fact that he signed through next season at that age. If he retires at the end of this season, I don't think anyone would be surprised. And I know he wanted to come here and win, but the season's not going anywhere. So Demario Davis is one of those names that the Jets will be called about, and it's just a matter of, well, are they going to get the right price for him? Let me know what you guys think, how you would approach this situation. Should the Jets trade Demario Davis? Yes. If a contender offers meaningful draft capital or B, no. Keep his leadership on the defense. Comment below, let me know, guys, and as always, let's go Jets.
