Jets parting ways with Crowell

He reminds me of Maurice Jones Drew & Timi Barber.His balance is among the best ive ever seen.

 

I need to check out those running backs you mentioned. That guy from Memphis has some nice stats

 

With Crowell gone and Powell at 30, signing Bell shouldn't stop us from drafting Montgomery in the 3rd.

 

Logically. Knowing Macc tho he'd nix drafting a back.

 

As a one-time Fournette supporter, and hoping the Jets drafted him, I've gone the other way. Since becoming a pro he's shown poor work ethics. There are better options.

 

I'm with you. Saw Fournette play a few times live in college and he was a man amongst boys.

He's just a man amongst men in the NFL and nothing special.

 

Bell at a steep discount..otherwise Yeldon

Draft a RB along with shoring up the Line

These latest moves>>>>positive

 

Im not ready to write him off.He was the best player on that terrible Jags offense last season & was the main focal point of opposing defenses.

Is he the next Earl Campbell like we thought he might be? No. But as part of a RB by commitee w a better surrounding cast i think hes a legit weapon.Great for short yardage,undersized D’s & finishing out games

 

I hate that this guy sits atop the Jets franchise record book for most rushing yards in a game.

Hopefully Leveon can make his stay there a short one.

 

This is a terrible post and you should feel ashamed.

 

I thought he was joking.

Actually I was hoping he was joking but sadly I don’t think so.

 

Dowell, Powell, Crowell and maybe Bell? Something had to give.

 

If this move happens and they do decide to go after Bell, I just hope that they front load the hell out of that contract. Make sure you can get out of it after 2 seasons.

 

I think this is the best approach as well.

 

I won't love it, but won't hate it either.

 

You're ok with this thread title?

 

The problem with front loading the contract is if he plays well he'll hold out when his low salary years kick in (even thought he already got his money).

That's what happened with Thomas Jones.

 

At least if he holds out we don't owe him the money.

 

You missed my point. If we pay him 90-95% of his money in the first 2 years of a 3 year contract and he plays well, he won't play the 3rd year for the last 5-10% because he'll feel underpaid and we will not have gotten the bargain we paid for.

When we actually WANT him to play. The piddling money will mean nothing at that point.

 

By then, his replacement could be on the roster or be found in the draft. The OL should be good enough to make less talented RB's than Bell look good.
