This is our roster heading into FA this year. What would you do with the free agents, who would you sign and who would you let walk? You can add UFA you'd like to sign from other teams if you want as well. QB: 7 Geno Smith, FB: 40 Tommy Bohanon RB: 33 Chris Ivory, 21 Chris Johnson, WR: 87 Eric Decker, 16 Percy Harvin, 11 Jeremy Kerley, 81 Shaq Evans, 10 TJ Graham, 18 Walter Powell, 15 Saalim Hakim, 14 Chris Owusu, TE: 88 Jace Amaro, 85 Jeff Cumberland, 44 Zach Sudfeld, LT: 60 D'Brickashaw Ferguson LG: 75 Oday Aboushi, 72 Wesley Johnson C: 74 Nick Mangold, 63 Dalton Freeman RG: 67 Brian Winters, 70 Dakota Dozier RT: 68 Breno Giacomini, LE: 96 Muhammad Wilkerson, NT: RE: 91 Sheldon Richardson, 99 TJ Barnes, LOLB: 97 Calvin Pace, 57 Trevor Reilly LILB: RILB: 56 Demario Davis, 55 AJ Edds ROLB: 98 Quinton Coples, 58 Jason Babin, 95 Antwan Barnes, 51 IK Enemkpali S: 25 Calvin Pryor, 39 Antonio Allen, CB: 27 Dee Milliner, 43 Dexter McDougle, 30 Darrin Walls, K: 2 Nick Folk P: 4 Ryan Quigley LS: UFA: 1 Michael Vick QB 38 John Conner FB 29 Bilal Powell RB 71 Ben Ijalana OT 66 Willie Colon OG 78 Leger Douzable DE 93 Kenrick Ellis NT 55 Jermaine Cunningham OLB 52 David Harris ILB 54 Nick Bellore ILB 26 Dawan Landry S 20 Kyle Wilson CB 24 Phillip Adams CB - Josh Thomas CB 46 Tanner Purdum LS RFA: 94 Damon Harrison NT 17 Greg Salas WR ERFA: 37 Jaiquawn Jarrett S PS: 5 Matt Simms QB 35 Daryl Richardson RB 82 Quincy Enunwa WR 83 Chris Pantale TE 79 Brent Qvale OT 62 Kerry Hyder DE 92 Tevita Finau DT 45 Rontez Miles S 31 Dashaun Phillips CB 22 Marcus Williams CB -I would sign the full practice squad to reserve future contracts. -I would cut Chris Johnson. -I would use ERFA tender on Jaiquawn Jarrett. -I would use 1st round RFA tender on Damon Harrison. -I would re-sign Leger Douzable to 1 or 2 year deal. -I would re-sign David Harris to a 1 year deal. -I would re-sign Nick Bellore to a 1 year deal. -I would re-sign Phillip Adams to a 1 year deal. -I would re-sign Tanner Purdum to a 2 year deal. -I would re-sign Kenrick Ellis to a cheap 2 year deal. -I would sign Byron Maxwell to a 5 year deal. -I would sign either Matt Moore or Jake Locker to a 2 year deal. -I would not RFA tender Greg Salas, but I would sign him back on a 2 year deal. I would be comfortable going into the draft with the roster here plus the moves I listed. I internally debated about whether to add a second bigger name CB through FA, but recovery times for an Achilles injury suggest Milliner should be full-go for mini-camps and training camp. I would look to draft an OT/OL in the first round, although I'm open to other positions. If there is a big time DE/OLB I'd be happy with that pick as well. Assuming Aboushi plays well for the rest of the season, I probably wouldn't sign a FA guard. If we didn't draft a guard, I'd let Winters compete with Dozier at RG. I also think Drafting David Harris' replacement in the 2nd or 3rd round is a good idea, perhaps spending a 3rd or 4th on an RB. Who I'd sign at QB depends a lot on how Geno plays the rest of the season.
I want to let Colon go and sign a good RG. Then I want to draft our future LT unless a top OLB is the BPA. I would also get a CB in free agency if there are any quality ones available, though we'll probably draft a CB once again in the first round...
I would like to sign TWO veteran Guards. One clear cut starter and one that can compete with Aboushi (if he shows he can play down the stretch). Colon sucks and Winters isn't a starter.
Resign Douzable, Purdum, Powell, Adams, Ellis and Harrison. Let Wilson, Harris, Vick, Colon, Conner and Landry walk. Sign Revis and Iupati.
Maxwell is a must sign. Idzik, or whoever the GM is, needs to not rely on ANY of our CB's for next season. If any of the injured ones can come back and produce then awesome. But we need atleast 2 new guys on the roster. Put AA back at safety and thats that. Colon, Wilson, Landry, Harris and CJ can all go their own way. Id look into trading Coples.
I'd be interested to see what a full season with a health Milliner and McDougle would be like for our defense. Otherwise, our o-line needs a total overhaul. Left tackle, left guard, right guard...
if i can manuver under the cap, replace couples with suh , who reportedly told other lions he would rather go to either nyc team.
Problem is you can't go into 2015 with if healthy -- they come into 2015 as backups and you bring in starters. If either can beat them out great but they don't get the benefit of the doubt next year.
I honestly believe that, with wrapping up and/or willingly committing to multiple pieces on the offense, that there's going to be a QB change. And I think that if they're right about the offensive pieces (Ivory, Decker, Amaro, Harvin, Kerley) that upgrading at QB will be much quicker and easier to figure out.
Sorry I thought a new QB was understood. Which veterans are free? A QB should look at the weapons on the Jets with an upgraded OLine and be very excited.
I really doubt it, unless there's a new coach. Sam Bradford (if he is even cut) is very talented but far from a sure thing. I feel like unless Geno plays amazing over the rest of the season, they're going to sign a more sure vet. I just think some other team more confident in their QB coaching will value him more than us and take the risk, so I'm guessing either Moore or one of the many other FA vet QB's. Jake Locker Christian Ponder Matt Moore Mark Sanchez Matt Flynn Ryan Mallett Austin Davis Matt Hasselbeck Michael Vick Brian Hoyer Case Keenum Colt McCoy Jason Campbell Luke McCown Blaine Gabbert Scott Tolzien Joe Webb Tyrod Taylor Dan Orlovsky Kellen Moore Jimmy Clausen Tarvaris Jackson Shaun Hill Mike Kafka TJ Yates
If Percy keeps his nose clean and finds his niche and we sign Revis this team can be a contender. Especially if Pryor develops and we get a top 10 pick this year.
OL, OL, OL, OL! Dallas has the best OL in the league and theyre bulldozing people. The Jets would have never made it to the 2 AFC Championships if the OL wasnt so beastly. Zach Martin should have been our pick instead of Pryor.
