Ivory had a good year on a very bad offense. He had better yards per carry and projected to have 200 more yards than CJ with equal carries. Ivory will be the lead back.
And look at that, everyone that was freaking out that we let him go, all look like dopes. Just give things time.
Great signing. Even if he splits carries with Ivory the threat of Johnson keeps defenses honest when he is on the field.
Anyone who followed my posts in this thread earlier, I had a connection tell me he was going to be signing today. Same guy told me 2 years, $8 mil with a small guarantee. We shall see...
going to be scary if Vick starts at QB with CJ in the backfield and the receivers in a college spread formation...who do you defend?
i think he'll split carries with Ivory (maybe 60/40 Johnson) and handle majority of 3rd down work (unless short ydg). so 750 yds rushing, 450 yds receiving i'm thinking a possibility. That would be a huge addition if he can attain that. Even if he falls a little short (900-1000 combined yds), still adds quite a boost imo, and would be worth 4.5M. Let's see what number Idzik got it done at..
I thought it was impossible to improve your team if you don't blow through all your cap space the first week of free agency.
Best part is none of the Jet beat writers even got close with this one Idzik's gonna be hunting for that Schefy link though.
