The wonderful world of social media where you put something out there and really don t give any concrete information. The entire premise was we're expected to think about it. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Shorty Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 I’d be kind of surprised if we don’t sign a RB in free agency. Two reasons. BA uses RBs a lot in the passing game and Rojo is questionable at best going into next season and Barber is solid but nothing special in the backfield, tho I love his drive and how he runs. Second reason we will look in FA is because we just drafted RoJo high last year and need to focus on the line in this draft. I see Barber and Rojo on the roaster next year but they will be accompanied by Mark Ingram or Tevin Coleman. Makes sense the Glazers don’t want the Kareem Hunt distraction.

I would expect Ingram to be one of our priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it wouldn’t shock me to see us move on from RoJo. Think about it, BA has no ties to him and he definitely doesn’t fit what they want to do with their backs. He’ll likely get another year or so, just cuz Licht will want to save face. I think he’s gonna get buried on the depth chart. He’s just not a modern back...

Almost 30 yr old RB, one strike away from a 1 yr suspension and is more of a runner then dynamic pass catcher. A guy like Burkhead makes sense for me with cap hit and usage I envision. I want a more dynamic pass catching RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A guy like" is what I mentioned. I m looking for a RB who can give more in the passing game other then a dump off or screen passes. Ingram is not running option routes versus LBs. For Ingram s potential cost and skill set, I think there will be better options in free agency. Do I have a particular name? Nope, just looking at skill set and cost.

deuces22wild Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 If Hunt isn't an option Tevin Coleman should be the target. Great in passing game and legit high end breakaway speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA guys I would consider to fill the shoes would be TJ Yeldon, Tevin Coleman, Ty Montgomery. Out of those guys im sure Ty will be the cheaper option and he also had return ability. Tevin will def be the highest priced but also probably has the better skill set than all of them IMO. I would take a chance on TJ Yeldon if I were GM.

I get it, but that guy who can offer both facets ala Levon Bell is gonna cost a fortune. Closest guy out there to that is Tevin Coleman, but he's actually gotten worse the last 2 years and will still be pricey. Ingram will never be a guy who's gonna run wheel routes and burn a safety, but he's got good hands and knows how to find the soft spots in zone. He's caught over 50 balls several times, so he's no slouch in the pass game. Sportrac has him projected at 2 years and $8.8 million. That's more than reasonable for a 3 down, legit back. I don't see why we can't add a specialist type (some have mentioned Ty Mongomery) to compliment. A guy that's not gonna give you much in run game, but is a matchup nightmare in pass game. I'd even look in the mid rounds of the draft. BA could hand pick it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Jets are apparently mulling the idea of trading DT Leonard Williams. They know they're not going to be able to resign him. He has the Bowles connection and knows the scheme well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing though is that he is on his 5th year option so it could possibly be a rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
