PCP63 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Zero. As we shouldn't. Old and not what he used to be. Why would a REBUILDING team bring in MORE aging vets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenn31 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Seeing that Nick is still a FA, has had, what, 2 FA visits tops, maybe the general consensus about him around the league is that he's done? Can't think of one instance where a team brought in an OL off his couch once camp began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkus Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Johnson is our center. He played most of the season last year and did fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not winning this year. Why bring in an aging vet that's declining? Especially when Johnson looked decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yes, bring him back--To retire his number. That is all, and a thank you. Over loyalty will get you killed in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Get Johnson more reps as the starter; judge from there if he is your guy moving forward, or if you need to upgrade next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickJetFan Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I believe the jets started converting Dakota to center last off-season. He also looked pretty good to me last season in his few reps at guard due to injury...he did not look out of place. Maybe they really like him and feel he can be a good center. I would watch how they use him in PS at worst he could come in and backup Wesley and at best maybe he sticks and starts next year. Oh or maybe this is his last year a jet......time will tell.

kevinc855 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Why would we draft a center when Wesley Johnson is totaly capable of starting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Mangold is right up there with Klecko as my favorite Jet. Hopefully they bring him back to retire, his career is over. Johnson is fine for this year, it's not like we're winning anything anyway we still need QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionelRichie Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 The Johnson situation is somewhat odd. i wonder if the jets were waiting until after the draft to make a decision at C. If they are confident in Johnson then they should extend him now to avoid UFA next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 If Johnson gets injured, I think Mangold could be signed to fill in. Other than that, he should follow Brick's lead and retire gracefully. Wonder if he's interested in coaching... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'd like to see us pick up an UDFA like Kentucky's Jon Toth. Started for 3 years in the tough SEC. He can also play guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that we really improved the position anyway but we'll need every negative turnover we can get just in case the defense is good again this year.

Maybe not so much waiting to make a decision, but waiting to see where they are at money-wise post draft, post cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointman Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Teams supposedly were inquiring whether he would be up for moving over to guard, and at the time Mangold said he didn't want to. He's still on the market with that said. Kind of says a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRy56 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 This team believes it has its center already in Wesley Johnson! We weren't drafting a center and the tackle prospects were not good this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't drafting a center and the tackle prospects were not good this year Not sure if they are sold on Johnson as a long term answer but he was serviceable last season. As far as the draft depth at O-line it was poor. No expert but when the top preseason Tackle prospect is preserved as a better guard by many and the top Centers the same it most definitely a weak to non existent class.

Snell41 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Wesley Johnson played just fine last year. In fact he played better than Mangold. Mangold is an all time Jet, but he's done.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
