I'm hoping we can do something sorta creative like have it be for a conditional first rounder on the basis of him signing an extension there. Or package him with someone else we'd otherwise get a sub-third rounder for to add enough value to get over that hump.

He's our only valuable trade piece so we need to do whatever we can to max out on the return for him. He's a first round pick and we've developed him into a decent D and you can make the upside argument based on his improvement this year, so go do it.

I'm getting pretty convinced that the trade deadline is going to come and go without the Jets making any moves.

I don't think teams are knocking down Chevy's door with 1st or 2nd round picks. And the Jets aren't really in the habit of letting guys go who have expressed a desire to sign long term. Wouldn't surprise me to hear they're going to try and retain him.

It's a big if but that's basically what Cheveldayoff gave up for him last year. Trying to recover from that miscalculation to some degree would be nice.

I can't say I understand your fixation on him as a trade piece. Even if we ignore the fact he's injured, he's under contract for six more years.

I have always appreciated Pionk since the Trouba trade, even though he struggled early.

I think Chevy made a mistake signing him for so long and so much, I don't think he's a top pair Dman anymore, whether that is a subliminal "I've got my payday, I don't need to earn it anymore" or just a natural progression in his play.

The only way I can see us signing Stanley is to move Pionk.  Would I prefer Stanley to Pionk?  $2 mil cheaper, and more physical... if he even scores 50% as much going forward, I think it gives us more flexibility.

While NAT's are now playing non-traditional positions, they are the exception not the rule. Other that Rourke, there is no NAT in the league in any teams Qb room, and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. No one other than a small group in Winnipeg, even has Elgersma on any Qb radar screen, and I really doubt that changes. I saw him play in the Vanier Cup and he didn't stand out at all, so I m not holding my breath on this guy at all

Signing as an undrafted player tells me he has some skills that previously the NFL seen.  Just a gut felling based on his bio.  That draft profile gives me more good vibes.

Blue Bombers Add Defensive Back

WINNIPEG, MB., March, 3, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed American defensive back Jordan Taylor.

Taylor (5-10, 174, James Madison; born September 10, 2001, in Miami, FL.) joins the Bombers after signing in the NFL (2025), and a five-year collegiate career with James Madison (2024), and Tusculum (2020-2023).

Prior to beginning his professional career, Taylor transferred to James Madison for the 2024 season, appearing in all 13 games with 10 starts. As a senior, he recorded 25 tackles (18 solo), along with five pass breakups.

No idea what Stanley would be worth, if you could get a second, I think that's value, I don't think even a late first would be feasible with him being a rental and, well, Stanley.  Anyone who wants him for his future knows they can wait and outbid Chevy.  Not sure any contenders need him as a rental.

I'm hoping we can do something sorta creative like have it be for a conditional first rounder on the basis of him signing an extension there. Or package him with someone else we'd otherwise get a sub-third rounder for to add enough value to get over that hump.
