BayRaider Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Nice, 10M in cap room to try to land Bell. Explanation to other fans: Our G Good emerged last year as a very good player. So we have three quality guards. Osemele somewhat regressed last year. This was an easy and smart decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I know Raiders fans have said his play has declined. Is he still a respectable starter that's just overpaid, or has his play really declined that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as good as he was years prior but still better than most guards in this league. We had another guard emerge, obviously for super cheap.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Dang, I was hoping for a long-shot scenario where he returns to the Ravens but this is a good pickup for the Jets in preparation for landing Bell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Assuming a 4th Rounder here. That’s be fair value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us were calling for him to be cut. I don't expect much compensation here, so Jets make a lot of sense since they can absorb the salary and upgrade on the line.

SilverNBlackFan Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Arguably the best guard in the league in 2016. Declined in 17 and 18. Reportedly has slimmed down this offseason to only 300 pounds. Will be interesting to see if he can regain his elite form, being so small now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickButera Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Osemele was still a beast, I still liked him. Sad to see him go. As long as we're keeping Hudson our line can be rebuilt. However we're losing the one of the few decent spots we had on a horrible O-Line last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer026 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 in 2016 he was amazing. But I saw a report that he lost 50 pounds the last 2 seasons and plans to keep on losing weight. Probably why his play his declined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Still a very serviceable G, just paid way too much. Good get for the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
