It sounds like Chris Cooks might be cut by the 49ners. He had 2 interception this pre season. Who do you think might be available after teams start cutting down there rosters?.
He just got picked up.. If he gets cut from a team with a weak secondary that fast.. Im good .. No thanks
no doubt we'll be active this weekend. also wouldnt totally dismiss a trade for an established corner. jets are in a pickle despite what is being told to the media and fans.
Bringing someone in at this point just shows the glaring mistake made this offseason not addressing the secondary with anything but cast offs and average talent at best. It's going to take a few weeks to pick up the defense and get familiar with the other guys on the field so growing pains are inevitable but we need help and we need it bad.
Trades are highly unlikely in the NFL unless it's draft time and even then they usually just include a bunch of draft picks. Not to mention it's not that easy for players to come in a week before the season starts and be up to speed. Plus I'm sure teams look at those three as part of the trash heap as Cumberland is probably the only one viewed around the league as anything of a contributor and even that's a shotty assumption.
This. Idzik did an awful job handling free agent cb's. The worst part is that we still have 20+ mil under the cap. Did NOT need to break the bank to sign a starting caliber CB.
I love it when people think we can package up a few of our shittiest players and get some call value out of it.
- Terrell Thomas - Drayton Florence Both are nickel and dime guys we need for depth. Calvin Pryor is an average talent? There's more to a secondary then the CBs. Now if you said he didn't address the CB position with anything but castoffs and average talent - well you got an argument.
My mistake, I meant the CB position. I love the addition of Pryor and I think we are much stronger at S.
The only starting caliber corner that didn't get a ridiculous deal was Verner and he signed right away with Tampa Bay to go play Lovie Smith's cover 2 defense. I do agree we should've signed another low tier guy that wasn't Patterson but it's not like Idzik foresaw him being a malcontent. It's not like our cornerback situation automatically slates us at 3-13 like everyone's insinuating at this point.
Idzik can't be faulted for Patterson going AWOL but he did know the guys injury issues. Either way it went down Patterson is not a starting caliber corner and that's what we were in desperate need of.
Plus, the Jets are going to have to play to their strengths and run with 3 safeties especially against those offenses early in the season. 5 DBs (Milliner, Walls, Wilson, Pryor, Allen, Landry)
Revis deal was basically 1 year/12 mil Thurmond/Cromartie/Tarell Brown/maybe even Bailey were all better options than Patterson
I think we could possibly trade for a corner, but not with Hill/Simms/Cumberland. We would need to offer something the other teams actually want. Daryl Richardson/Billal Powell come to mind, since we are loaded at Running Back, and those 2 guys probably won't get many carries anyway, if CJ and Ivory stay healthy. So we could package one or both (less likely) with maybe Cumberland or Sudfield and and maybe add something else (TJ Barnes?).
