I'm sorry if somethings been posted but will we add him as a third safety? Incase Landry goes down due to him not getting surgery, Jimmy knows the system and would help strengthen the safety position. If not what do we spend the extra 4 million in cap money we have after the draft?
Nobody is signing Leonhard before the draft. So I think its pretty clear the plan is see how draft goes, and if we still need a safety then its time to see how well hes healing up.
I'd like us to sign Braylon and Leonhard if/when they're healthy. Leonhard is unspectacular but obviously the FS market is thin and he knows the system. Better to have him than not. Even if we bring Leonhard back, we should draft a FS at some point in this draft. A rotation of Landry, Smith, Leonhard, and draftee would probably suffice along with a passrusher in round 1. That'd be the ideal scenario imo.
We need to get Leonhard back. He will be cheap, knows the system, is a fan favorite and close with Rex. Getting a safety should be our 2nd or 3rd concern in the draft, but having Leonhard there as backup / mentor for this season will be crucial. And then we still got black ass Eric Smith to fill in the cracks. All in all, I think our safety position is going turn into a very sound part of the team this year.
Leonhard knows that if he comes back to the Jets he won't have to learn a new system and he'll have a chance at some legit PT. It's a waiting game at this point.
Where do you get this number? $7,567,441 in estimate cap space (nyjetscap.com) Draft picks cost an estimated $5 million total Leaves us with about $2.5 million in cap space after the draft.
Round 1: OLB Round 2: RT Round 3: FS Sign a healthy Braylon. That, to me, is the best way to cap off the off season. If Braylon isn't healthy, not really sure what we could do for WR. June 1st cuts? Maybe go WR round 2 or 4.... I think it'd be smart to grab a RT in round 2 though. Decisions, decisions.
We dont have a 4th round pick. We already decided that Vlads getting the nod @ RT and I believe it. We have significant needs @ OLB (which I agree we address early), OG HAS to be a significant need (Slausons major surgery, and both him and Moore are UFA next year plus Moores old). Id rather draft a FS in the 5th, while going OLB + OG + OLB/DE with the early picks, unless someone falls to our 3rd pick. This is a poor safety class, and I dont want to reach for a poor safety RT isnt just happenin
Oh right, that stupid fuckin' trade. Slauson played with the injuries last year, they will be fixed and rehabilitated for next season. I'm expecting a solid year from him. Moore may be on the decline though, agreed. I'll be surprised if they don't bring a third party into the mix with Vlad and Hunter. Hunter's terrible season alone cost us games last year. Vlad has looked even worse. They better bring in a vet after June 1 if they don't add somebody in the draft. Too big a risk imo. I wouldn't be opposed to going OG round 2, though. I am a fan of replacing OL before it's too late.
Slauson had surgery, which means no lifting/practices/conditioning for 6+ months. So even if hes 100% healthy which i doubt, but he wont be in game shape
He said in an interview he expects to participate fully in training camp. I can't find the article. Take it for what it's worth.
I hope to God we don't do that. Our 2013 cap situation is already pretty bad. I'd like Braylon back. I'd also like us to draft a WR early to make Holmes expendable in 2013. His Cap charge is huge and should be traded away. We will have ton of cap issues next year and Holmes is not a te first guy by any means. That's why we need to draft a WR early and hope he has a solid rookie year to let Holmes go.
? Let Holmes go ? He has a cap number of 12.5 million next season, with 11.25million guarenteed We would have to give other teams draft picks for them to take his contract. So Holmes isnt going anywhere. And the 2013 cap situation wont be worse than this year, and is more than fine if we can even get at least 2 rookies who can be starters next season
