The Jets tried to sign him last year, but Denver matched the offer. What the Jets still be interested in him if were available? From KFFL.com Broncos | Team has decision to make with Putzier Thu, 23 Feb 2006 06:17:36 -0800 Bill Williamson, of the Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos TE Jeb Putzier is due a $1.5 million roster bonus in early March and a base salary of $1.5 million for the 2006 season. His agent, Joe Linta, said he has not heard whether Denver will exercise the option. The Broncos could attempt to restructure the deal. If no agreement is reached, they could release Putzier. Last season Putzier split time with TE Stephen Alexander. "If Denver does exercise the option, I would hope they'd give him the chance to catch 60, 70 balls and become a Pro Bowl-caliber tight end I know he can be," Linta said. Putzier's contract is likely to be addressed next week.
Putzier prolly wants to get away from Plummer...it seems he is always just catching the ball as some one comes up and levels him. I think he was on "jacked up" 2 or three times last year....
Baker is a UFA so he could be an option, but we will not have any blocking and with this O-line I think we need a blocker with stone hands to get by
Agreed. But if the Jets don't sign Baker, it is not a bad option. I like Dreesen, size, hands, blocking, LSer he has alot of upside. But Putzier is young as well. Developing Dreesen and Putzier together might not be the worst thing in the world. Plus Jolley is on the roster, and once he has a decent QB, I think he will produce much better. Might not be the worst decision to sign Putzier.
