Bears are in need of a LS so maybe Mcc is being proactive. Cimini reported a week or so ago they brought some in for tryouts.

Bleedin Green Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Clearly, that wily old vet Purdum needs to go. He's gotten damn too cocky, what with being on the team for more than a season or two at a position other than DL. Who the hell does he think he is? Gotta keep getting younger!

JetFreak89 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I believe this long snapper hails from Duke and snapped for R. Martin. Could be an indication that Martin has won the kicking competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony MaC Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 But seriously, this might be the first step to trading Purdum and replacing him with somebody younger. My only hope is that the guy can be as consistent as Tanner has been for us, this is actually pretty important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think either Purdum is 100% gone (why would a team start up a LS competition in the last week of PS?) or they just want to keep him off the field so they brought in a body to take the risks against the Eagles. Trivia: Purdum is the ONLY player on the roster who played in a playoff game in a Jets uniform. When he is gone, no one will be left from the 2 AFCCGs in 2009 and 2010. Just 7 years later.

For a specific player, yes, but for a team to not have a single player who was on the roster more than 6 years is unusual. Here is a list I found going into last season (2016) of the longest-tenured player on each team. 2000: Patriots, Raiders 2003: Ravens, Chargers, Cowboys 2004: Giants, Cardinals, Lions, Steelers 2005: Dolphins, Panthers, Chiefs, Packers, Falcons 2006: Bills, Jets, Bengals, Jaguars, Eagles, Redskins, Saints, Vikings, Colts 2007: 49ers, Browns 2008: Texans, Seahawks 2009: Titans, Bears, Buccaneers 2010: Broncos, Rams We may be jumping from 2006 to 2011. Not sure about everyone else, but as you can see, that's pretty rare, with only two teams matching that span last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets made their second minor trade in his many days, acquiring long snapper Thomas Hennessey from the Colts. Look for him to compete against incumbent Tanner Purdum over the final week of the preseason. Purdum is the longest tenured Jet but he hasn't been as automatic as he was in the past. In fact, the Jets have auditioned free-agent long snappers in recent weeks. Back up safety Ronald Martin was dealt to the Colts.
