Jake Steinberg @Steiny31 In case you missed it last night, the #Jets have resigned WR and Mark Sanchez's BFF Scotty McKnight. Jake Steinberg Rex's word choice here is key. He said Wayne Hunter is the #Jets starting RT "for now."
For now, it seems like a draft day trade to get a 7th rounder out of Jim and picking up a RT early in the draft.
If I were any other team,you couldnt pay me to take Hunter let alone give up any kind of draft pick for him.
Wayne Hunter is not a starting RT, but he'd be well worth a 7th rounder. As line depth he's a great roster addition. most 7th round picks are cut or on the practice squad anyways, Hunter would make the team undoubtedly.
Jets contact Peyton Manning = Sanchez extension Jets sign Tim Tebow = Sign Sanchez's BFF I'm guessing Braylon costs a couple more dollars that Scottie McKnight - just a thought.
Unless you're in contact with Edwards and his DR we really don't know what his health is like. Also price tag, I bet Scotty is PS and not on the active roster.
Maybe some familiar depth for Sanchez while awaiting status on Braylon's rehab following surgery. If a top RT/G drops to us I can see going for that vs OLB.
Edwards is still rehabbing and isn't close to be ready to go. Why sign a guy who you don't even know if he can play yet. They'll probably evaluate him down the line, but just not yet. Can't wait for draft day.
Agreed, Hunter is a good guy to keep around because he's a relatively versatile backup. But I think we've established pretty definitively that he's not a starter. Not even close.
Wrong. Hunter has no value. No team will trade for a 2.5 MIL backup tackle when you have potential 7th rounders competing with the guy for a roster spot. Plus, if a 7th round pick makes your team he makes the league minimum.
Hunter is guaranteed $2.5 million this year. Teams generally don't trade for backup linemen getting paid $2.5 million.
