He probably is better as a wideout tbh, but that’s cause we didn’t get to see his potential at punt returning
And not particularly injury prone, the 2nd injury was a really rough hit tbh. Most would’ve got hurt

I'm happy to deploy him either way
Will prob be a third or fourth depth WR but if we go into the season lacking returners I totally see it being him
Shocked if he doesn't make the 53

Titans legend
On September 10, 2021, Badgley was signed by the Tennessee Titans to their practice squad as a replacement for injured kicker Sam Ficken, and promoted to the active roster a day later.[22] He was waived the next day on September 13, 2021.
lmao
What is it with this dude lol
On October 1, 2022, the Chicago Bears signed Badgley to their practice squad. He was elevated to the active roster for the team's game against the New York Giants due to kicker Cairo Santos being questionable for personal reasons. He made all four field goals he attempted during the game. He was released two days later.
Badgley signed with the Washington Commanders on July 25, 2023. He was released on August 20, 2023.

I think ownership dreads having to bring new people in, and dreads having to potentially be more hands on
Once Steinbrenner has more fingerprints on the team (aka picking the next gm) then more people will be annoyed at him and it’ll just turn the pressure knob up. Cashman gotta figure this out but he won’t cause sports aren’t easy lmao

He's a legacy owner, so it's no surprise he's coasting off past successes

And then as a result; winning. Dude if Vegas can pull off a couple cups in a row here… they could be a “cap evil empire”

You see it’s hard to compare bc of the cap. Even with the Pats, it’s not like they outspent or maneuvered to create a super team

Kto did a vid on this, the Jets historically still have drafted worse
dim kettle
The only reason the Jets never get mentioned more than the Browns is because they never drafted a character like Johnny Football.
weak gull
He made that point too, glad you mentioned that
They draft guys who aren’t characters but still suck. Non-flashy but still ass
Until this last year they didn’t have a positive draft in decades
dim kettle
I remember when the Jets drafted Geno Smith and the Jets wondered why he wasn't progressing as the Jets just draft more defensive players because Mah defense wins championships
I'm so sure Calvin Pryor was gonna help Geno there, buds.

Calvin prior was solid for about 1.5 years…then just stopped being good
His coverage was always a concern, but regressed over time somehow

Doesn't even matter about his production. It just was an ass backwards philosophy the Jets had till the last 3-4 years.
weak gull
I was just saying in general, that’s nowhere near the worst pick lol
dim kettle
I was big on him I can't lie.
dim kettle
He wasn't even the worst pick that year. The Browns drafting Justin Gilbert is still the only time I ever died laughing at a pick.
weak gull
Gilbert looked extremely promising at Oklahoma state to be fair. It just never clicked for him
dim kettle
He shouldn't have been picked that high though.
That 2014 draft is just legendary vintage Browns.
weak gull
I would say he deservedly earned being picked in the top 8. He had 2 fantastic years at Oklahoma state
dim kettle
Not when OBJ is there. Even back then.
Really, they had no business getting him too knowing Joe Haden was already a top guy there.
weak gull
Obj was picked at what? 12? He was never mentioned to be top 10 by anyone. He was never gonna go at 8
Haden regressed and left Cleveland within 2 years. I think they were right to try and get another lockdown CB
It just didn’t pan out
They honestly timed trying to replace him perfectly
dim kettle
You can't say that knowing the Browns signed him to a 5 year deal the year after.
That's giving the Browns at that time too much credit.

I didn’t say they planned it, I said they timed it perfectly lol

Actually quite fitting the Niners traded for CMC last year. I personally think if you're paying an RB a lot of money, it's likely you don't have a QB that you can win a title with. Of course, I'm saying this without really seeing if Brock can progress and you could argue he would've sent the Niners to the SB last year if he didn't get hurt. However, could've would've should've.

I agree that the Niners needed to trade up to get a QB. But it looks bad for the Niners because ultimately the wrong guy was picked. Which makes what the Dolphins did with that extra capitial much worse on Lynch.
