rickyt31 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Quote The #Rams Rodger Saffold is the top guard on the free-agent market. While #Jets were interested, so is 75% of the NFL. No guarantee they’d get him. Saffold is 30. PFF grades of 72.6, 80.4, 72.8 last year years. Osemele will be 30. PFF grades of 84.9, 76.1, 53.7 (injured) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyt31 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 We really didn't give up anything for him. Great move. The OG market isn't great and Macc was able to jump on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetskid007 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Many of us know that the Jets lost out to OAK when he was a FA back in 2016, so in many ways we finally got "our" man. Glad they made this move now because we really need as many dudes on the OL as possible; still need a C and maybe a tackle but getting Osemele is a big win. Last year was a down year for him, otherwise he's been graded out as one of the best guards in the league year after year. He's also very versatile (we tried signing him to play LT), but I'd expect he slides into the starting lineup as a LG. Turning 30 this summer so he has a few years still. Like this move a lot.

Bobby816 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 He’ll be 30 this season. Far from an answer at G. He’s a risk with injury and even if healthy he is a stop gap. Better than nothing. But not a fix to any problem adding an injury prone 30yr old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, It's rare for find a college OL that's ready for the NFL nowadays, you need to draft-and-develop them. I don't see how one can argue this as anything but a good move.

But he’s not an answer he’s a stop gap for a couple years. Which is fine bc he can protect Darnold and is versatile. But he’s not a building block. We will have to revisit this all in a couple years replacing Osemele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your latest mock on here you had us signing Saffold who is not only a year older but missed 23 games since 2012. This is a great move. We have a pro bowl LG. Like @jetskid007 said 30 is not old for a OL. Give credit where credit is due. Macc did a nice job here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t getting paid 10mill (he could once signed). I’m all for it. But it’s not an answer to G. It’s a stop gap. Also seems like we traded for a guy that was probably getting cut. I don’t value draft picks with Macc, so I don’t mind that. Just worth noting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too big of a contract for a G that has struggled the past 2 seasons. When he is healthy and on his game though, you wont find a better G.

jetfuel34 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I think this is a great move for the Jets. these OL guys can play until their mid 30's. We might have him for 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
