[That time of year again: Camp injury news (Jaydon Blue)]

As a Jets fan, I did not want him. 

Hear me out... Although they signed him to a 2 year deal, my fear was a Daniel Jones type situation where Fields does just enough to trick the Jets into believing they don't need to address the QB position for the future. This team, largely as currently constructed, won 7 games with Zach Wilson and some other scrubs just 2 years ago. Better (and more stable) coaching, plus Fields ability with his legs and I could easily see him hero balling the Jets to 9-10 wins. That would be great for fans, especially if they ended their playoff drought, but it's also a situation where Woody might get enamored and even if his overall numbers are not great and he still doesn't pass the eye test as a franchise QB, the Jets might buy in.

BUT, I was starting to come around to it. Do I really think they can fix his accuracy issues? Maybe not but lets see. This is the route they went. I know he has talent, a big arm, mobility, etc. Can they turn him into a poor mans Lamar Jackson? (for the record I think Lamar is a tremendous athlete who is highly overrated as a QB) 

and he was definitely on my radar for FF since there are a ton of stable QB's you can pair him with

WW, you're up in the July Mock

Quote

Head coach Aaron Glenn said that Fields suffered a right toe injury. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the initial diagnosis is a dislocated toe and that tests showed Fields did not suffer a fracture.

Glenn said that he did not know which toe Fields injured when his foot was stepped on during practice and Rapoport reports that it is not the big toe.

Fields is still being evaluated and there’s no word on whether he’ll miss any time, but the initial updates have likely soothed some of the bad feelings that Jets fans had when they first heard that Fields went down.

Jets quarterback Justin Fields’ training camp practice was cut short today with an apparent lower leg injury.

Multiple reporters on the scene reported that Fields appeared to hurt his leg during team drills, limped to the sideline, and then got checked out by the team’s medical personnel.

After a short time being checked on the sideline, Fields got into the front seat of a cart and was taken back inside.

 

[Round Seven-Ten Commentary - July Mock 2025]

Jeudy: Solid 4th WR/FLEX. Volume based, but he proved last year he can produce no matter who's throwing him the ball.

Robinson: For how long I've waited on RBs in this draft, I felt like I've found solid value.

Not usually a QB early guy, but the value of Josh Allen I just can't pass up. Double dipping on Buffalo so early is a risk, but I'm willing to take it.

I wanted to go RB/WR in the first 2 rounds, but couldn't pass up Nabors, and then Henry/McCaffrey went, and I think there's a dropoff after those 2. We'll see what RBs make it back to me in the next turn.

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that Judkins, who has not yet signed, will not report to training camp on Friday.

And while the obvious barrier could be regarded as the effort to get a fully-guaranteed contract as the fourth pick in round two. But it’s about more than how much of the contract will be fully guaranteed.

“He’s focusing more on his legal matter right now and so are the Browns,” Cabot said.

Jerome Ford/Dylan Sampson moving on up the draft board.

If Ichiro's Japanese stats are included, there's no reason not to include Rose's 400+ minor league hits, which would put him back on top.

Based on the report, as posted by NFL Media, the alleged victim contends that, five days earlier, Judkins “punched her in the mouth/chin area with a closed fist,” and that he later “struck her additional times in the left arm and thigh.”

She told police that she didn’t call 911 because she didn’t want to hurt his career. She decided to make the report on July 12 “after speaking with family & friends and coming to the realization something needed to be done.”

Per the police report, the alleged victim “still had visible bruising on her chin area” on July 12. She had a photograph from July 8, in which (per the report) the “bruising was clearly evident.”
