Josh Baker's workout numbers from Mizzou's Pro Day: 6'2 243 4.66 40 yard dash 25 bench press reps 37 inch vertical 9”9 broad jump 6.93 3-cone drill 4.34 20 yard shuttle 11.89 60 yard shuttle Very respectable numbers. This kid looks like a workout warrior. *He played at Delaware with Joe Flacco before transferring to NW Missouri State Last season's stats: 66 passes for 838 yards and 9 TDs. Experienced Wildcat QB that rushed for 3 TDs. This is a pretty long highlight tape, but this signing has special teams written all over it. He's a very capable blocker with speed.

Herzlich was the only name I was hoping to see the Jets swoop early and sign, surprised he signed there so quickly and we didn`t make more of an effort to get him in.
we will likely be way behind in the UDFA hunt. we are too busy negotiating with Holmes and Edwards. and anybody else that is a proven NFL player we might want Dawan Landry? We will have some staffers calling UDFA's. But tanny won't be making any calls to those guys for a couple days...
That's not true. All 32 teams have someone important to sign. Tannenbaum isn't the only person that works in our front office. We'll bring in quite a few solid UDFAs.
Poorly worded on my part, I`m sure Rex & co did their homework and checked up on him but there didn`t seem to be any word from the Jets about him at all recently. Whether or not they were restricted from naming the UDFA`s they wanted due to the lockout I`m not sure, but he seems quite highly rated and he himself must have thought of the Jets as one of his potential landing spots. He is the guy who had a form of cancer right?
very interesting... He seems to be a Cumberland Clone. Workout warrior with great measurables, but often inconsistent. Very interesting that we grabbed a TE that is identical to the guys we have on the roster. I figured we would have been after a blocking TE. Either way color me excited to have the Jets first FA signing of the year in the books!
Jeff Maehl WR Oregon Dane Sanzenbacher WR Ohio State Deunta Williams S North Carolina Zach Hurd OG Connecticut John Clay RB Wisconsin Derrick Locke RB Kentucky Josh Bynes, LB, Auburn Some guys still available that are intriguing, especially the WR's.
^ After watching some of that game footage I found on youtube, he looks like a very capable blocker. He puts some pretty big hits on some defenders. My main knock against this guy right now is the level of competition he played against.
