Sounds like a Board meeting, which would be regularly scheduled at least 4 times per year. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a regularly scheduled pre-draft/ new year meeting. But the plan of attack over the next two weeks will likely be a focus. Might even be the Budget meeting.
I really wouldn't put much stock into the fact that the jets had a meeting 6 days before the draft and 8 days before free agency
You forgot Nino. And Pionk. And Schmidt. And...
If they are meeting at this point to shift course what an inept organization. The course should be obvious, how it is executed needs to be the discussion.
Board Meeting could occur after a Governors meeting. Not out of the question. Also, through the reporting, the day of the Board Meeting could have been mixed up.
I find that to be unlikely, board of governors meetings usually take place in florida and I doubt he hops on a zoom call to discuss the future of the jets right after that
Could be that the meeting was reactive to negations with other teams, and they didn't have a ton of notice to schedule. You never know!
)
my best guess would be that they were talking with amateur/pro scouts and going over the players that could be available to them going over all the cap that could be involved, we could be trading 4 players and that will probably require a lot of meetings with a lot of people to make sure they get this rightCould be that the meeting was reactive to negations with other teams, and they didn't have a ton of notice to schedule.

(You're probably right but the speculation around the meeting is fun
doubt they're are in Florida. Probably a conference call hosted by Bettman in NYC. They met as a group last month as well, I believe.
friedman on the jeff marek show today mentioned how andlauer and tannenbaum weren't there at the meeting so it doesn't sound like it was a conference call, friedman was also where ever it was being held and interviewed bettman in person tonight
Makes sense it was NYC or Nashville then.
tannenbaum is selling a significant amount of his shares so he probably won't be holding that for long and chipman also is on the executive committee, anyways just don't see a major jets meeting being scheduled the same day as a board of governors meeting
Bettman said in the Friedman interview that there would be no change to Tannenbaum's level of involvement with the league (specifically in reference to a question about the exec comm). OMERS just taking a passive investment.
been combing the web for this info. thank you.
Blake seems like just a really great guy. Someone we'd all love to sit down and have a beer with. I think there's been something about his leadership style over the years that has grated on some of the players in the locker room. Definitely been some friction along the way.
My take is Wheeler is a grumpy old SOB that is pretty tough on young players. Apparently this was especially true with Laine, whose work ethic and dedication to improvement was somewhat suspect. Maurice and Wheeler got along very well as Wheeler is just as old school as Maurice. Wheeler's effort and commitment to the game and to the community was exceptional and under other different circumstances my have been considered a great captain. His UFA contract and father time has made him a lightening rod for some to direct their anger at.
