You do know that Boeing discontinued the 757 15 years ago because no one was buying it, and the 757-300 was a major flop (40 aircraft built, they needed about 200 to break even).
To do a 757NG , it would need a new engine, meaning a new engine would have needed to exist in that thrust class (~40k lbs.). Not only was that not the case, none of the engine manufactures saw a business case for developing one. In fact that's still the case - for the NMA to be viable someone will need to step forward and develop the engine.
