JetsRay Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Before free agency starts up and the BUF rumors start to fly I would like to thank him for his eight years as a Jet. He's been a reliable rock at ILB, but ever since the end of the season I've been firmly in the middle about whether we should bring him back. And if he did come back at what price? He didn't produce up to his previous deal (36 million / 4 years) and now he's 31 with diminshing speed. Do we really want to get into a bidding war with BUF and give him another 3-4 year deal for between 14-20 million??? Personally if the $$$ get that high I would investigate one of the following LB's: Brooks Reed - Maccagnan knows him and we can kick him inside http://www.nfl.com/player/brooksreed/2495218/profile Mason Foster http://www.nfl.com/player/masonfoster/2495281/profile Kelvin Sheppard - Rodgers our DC knows him http://www.nfl.com/player/kelvinsheppard/2495229/profile Reed is not an inside player, I don't think that is something a player can just slide to at the NFL level. I like the other options though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Harris is as solid as they come, he doesn't make flash plays but he is ROCK SOLID and truly underappreciated. Not as a stud necessarily but I truly believe this: If DH leaves the opposing teams yards per carry goes up a half a yard. I'd love a 3 year deal with little guaranteed money in the final year giving the option to cut ties after 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It's weird but I'd take Sean Weatherspoon and throw him inside before Foster/Sheppard. Both are just young versions of the player Harris is now. Weatherspoon's better against the pass if healthy. McClain too, but yeah...The FA ILB options suck.

His lack of speed is a major weakness as players constantly create separation against him and become easy targets for the quarterback. It's time to get faster and younger. It's time to move on.

LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'd rather go linebacker in the draft. Certain positions I feel need to be addressed via free agency, however I feel that RB and LB should be drafted this year. Agree, although i hope you meant MLB/ILB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acho, a FA from Arizona should be a strong consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Neuman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks DH, but it's time to get younger and faster. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Killa Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Only reason I really want Harris back is because the bills are praying we release him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56mehl56 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 If we're talking McKinney, and it's probably McKinney, he's one of the best and most complete players in the draft. I agree , I'm an LSU fan so watch a lot of SEC football . McKinney would be great on the Jets , problem is he'd be a major reach at 6 and I don't believe he gets to the 2nd rd for our pick.

That would be like asking me to evaluate Lance Mehl . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
