NY Post article on Top 25 NFL free agents. They predict 2 go to NYJ: http://nypost.com/2015/02/09/the-top-25-nfl-free-agents-and-where-theyll-land/ 14. Mike Iupati Modal Trigger Mike IupatiPhoto: AP G Age: 27 49ers Iupati is a perennial Pro Bowl pick and the best interior lineman available, while San Francisco is mired in cap problems that probably will keep the Niners from franchising him. Destination: Jets 16. Jason Worilds Modal Trigger Jason WorildsPhoto: Paul J. Bereswill OLB Age: 26 Steelers He’s a young, on-the-rise playmaker who is probably going to be too rich for a Steelers team beset by cap woes. Destination: Jets
Last time the Jets signed a high priced guard and young pash rushing linebacker (Faneca and Pace) it worked out pretty well.
Cro and another CB, maybe Kareem Jackson, would be a huge upgrade. They just arent top 25 free agents.
2 guys right in their prime filling 2 positions of need. We could get both of them and still have a decent amount of cash leftover for other needs. Worilds is a Jersey guy too for whatever that is worth.
This would be amazing coupled with Spiller and Kareem or Maxwell. Try for Mariota or go OL/WR in the draft.
with the cap space and talent void we have, we should be the favorites for those two, as well as Byron Maxwell and Doug Free. and maybe McCourty, though I personally don't want any Patriot scum....
2 moves I would love to see us make. Those 2 plus Cromartie would be an instant impact for us. We would still have room for more signings as well. I dont think either are breaking the bank.
These two along with Mariota, Kareem Jackson and Cro and a solid draft and the Jets all of a sudden have a VERY bright future.
Can't say I'd be upset with Iupati, but I just have a feeling he won't be worth the 8M/year he'll probably get.
Eh. World's would be great but as long as we get a solid OL. Would like to us get a little younger there.
I'd like Iupati and Cromartie. Plus an early pick in the draft on OL. Add in returning Milliner and McDougle and we could be decent at those spots.
Both would be great. They would still need to get a WR (Torrey Smith please) and CB. I'm on board with CJ Spiller as well.
