At this point Plax makes the most sense provided he doesn't get the can. With Plax it will come down to the dollars and a chance to play in NY. Will do not have to give up any players or picks; similar to what we got back for Pennington.
Depth? The thinnest unit on the club BY FAR is wide receiver. You want depth there, the draft being over, the Jets have to go FA, or rely on someone else's camp cuts, or the Jets will not score very much, imo. Stuckey and Clowney have a lot of fans here, based on wishful thinking. I know there is no guarantee that one or the other will not step up. But I doubt it.
Worst idea ever. People really need to wake up and realize how strong next years draft is going to be. We need to gather as many picks as possible for the 2010 draft.
I think Edwards can be had for T. Jones (a Mangini guy) and a 2010 second rounder. His contract demands are insane tho I like Boldin too but his playing style worries me...do you want to give a 40-50 million dollar contract to somebody who might break down after year 2?
i think some of you are a little quick to get rid of TJ.. who will be our every down back? we already will have a rookie qb, how can you risk having no every-down back/stability in the running game? who says leon can be an every-down back or green will come in and beast right away? and what if one got injured? im not huge on thomas jones, but you cannot go into the season with a backfield of leon and a rookie, especially when you don't have an elite QB (yet).. rex said it on espn.. "ground and pound"..
Burress because he won't cost as much and he is still one hell of a target and the kind that we need, he might be one stupid SOB, but we are not asking him to sit his SAT's, were asking him to catch a football, and he does that very well. Bring him in and the team is set for a run at that Superbowl.
Burress refused to take a paycut from the Giants tho, maybe he still thinks he's worth big money. I also read somewhere that his lawyer thought about dropping him as a client because he rejected every plea agreement that included jail time
His cost in dollars is one thing, but he is a UFA so would cost no players or picks to aquire. Thats why outside of Cotch, whom i chose, he is the next on my list as the easy answer.
Oh yeah, I totally agree I actually picked Plax in the poll. I'm just saying he has a propensity to be an ass hat so he might price himself out of our range. I wouldn't mind paying w/e for him if it's a 1 year deal, even if he bombs he's gone. I just dont kno what our cap situation is like atm, I'm guessing it's not too bad since we had a lot at the beginning of FA and didn't add too much outside of Scott and eventually Sanchezz
Really? I'd say TE is far thinner than receiver. We have 2 starters (Cotch and Stuckey in the slot) and 6 additional receivers. You can argue that we don't have a good second wideout, but we certainly have a lot of depth on the roster. We only have one TE and one TE/LS. We can't even field a two TE set as of now.
amani toomer? does he come with a free walker in the trade? I'd rather ask chrebet to come out of retirement... I like boldin, but the price is too high. If plax happens to be looking for work and doesn't get thrown in jail, i'm all for it - he's wierd, but he's not really a team chemistry killer like TO. I really wanted torry holt
If we're looking for a short-term solution, maybe Marvin Harrison is worth a look. He had declining numbers last years but perhaps that's attributable to not getting in shape due to the off-season drama that he was involved with. If he can prove that he's in shape, he might be a sound pick-up for 1-2 yrs. His veteran experience would probably serve our young receiving corp well.
I gotta admit, I think signing Harrison would be a great idea. He can def help out with our younger receivers and provide Sanchez with a steady influence in the huddle and in practice. I don't see a downside to this.
people need to wake up and realize its one day after the draft... and that some of these strong guys will fall off of their sophomore seasons and that it could be hugely overrated on how strong it is
