I GOT to give it you, I was tired of your braggadocios w/Maholmes leading up to that 2017 draft. I EAT CROW NOW! You called it! MAAAAAAAAD RES-PECT @RJIII! Watching him this year my jaw, literally, dropped. Soooooo, any thoughts on joining the NY Jets' scouting dept? lol.

Really? No love for John Hall I agree w/your post wholeheartedly. 2018 was last year and if the team is IMPROVED on offense in ANY sense, then Meyers won't be as crucial to the team's overall offensive success if he's merely relegated to PATs. I think he'll ask for the moon and the Jets will be in need of PK services via FA once again. Scoring points, even FGs, does help the confidence of a developing young QB that sees some fruit to his offensive drives' despite not getting the TD.

LOL! That's your 1st mistake right there. If history has shown Jets fan anything . . . . It is clickbait-is, but it's the dead zone after the SB and before the annual human meat market assessment in Indy.

What would you pay him to bring him back?

fair enough, then it just seems we disagree on EVERYTHING. lol.

Caveat #1: I think, like Cody Parker in '18, Meyers will try to $$$ in BIG on his 2018 performance and go to a contender who needs that PK to get them over the hump. So, referring to the list of PK salaries posted above, I think he'll sign - and most likely get - in that $4M+ area. I'd be ecstatic if he were to sign for $2.75M w/us, but with the cap going up and teams in need of his services (Indy, Chicago) as a FA, I don't see it. It's not a choice, but more of a comparison. Jets were not willing to (and I agree) spend $6.5M for a 5th year OLineman who could arguably play 2 positions in an area of team desperate for depth (he was that bad), BUT (as some stated above to sign him to a multi-year deal) would spend $4M on a PK? But the sad part is that Meyers was material to our offense in '18 - could be interpreted as a good thing or a bad thing. I agree that Jets should attempt to re-sign him, but no more than a certain ceiling. $3.8M IMO. I just don't agree w/you that he would sign for that cheap; he's going to try to squeeze as much $ as he can for that 2018 performance.

Great Point. I recall being REALLY disappointed with each of those mentioned PKs making the team in their respective years and then they end up being one of our more valuable and consistent players on the entire 53-man roster!?!? It's weird that we've had HORRIBLE special teams since Westhoff left, but the PKs who were below-avg. JAGS ended up being the strong suit of that unit despite the overall decline in the other STs aspects. I still say Tag & Trade, if feasible.

True. Perfect Example:

That sounds like some weird sexual act performed in downtown Chelsea. LOL. SI!

YEah, but the article also points out how HORRIBLE he was the previous 3 years and whether 2018 was just a fluke. The Cody Parkey comparison and costly risk it ended up being is a legitimate one, IMO. If Mac were shrewd enough, he would FTag Meyers and see what desperate contending team (Chicago? Recall Minny in 2015 w/Blair?) may be willing to part with a pick for a PK they can have faith in.

Would JN be in favor of paying a historic one-year wonder Kicker ~ $4-5M/year when they just cut an OLineman that would have cost $6.5M? Which is more valuable/harder to replace? a Guard or a top PK?

sweet sig!!!!

Don't start. You claim to be above this crap, but alas you're just like the rest of the motley crue. You've made it clear you don't like me, so WHY respond? move along little monkey and be on your way. Or BETTER YET! Put me on IGNORE.

Same article but just making it easier for those to read here. You should TRY IT sometime: 2019 free agency: 6 perfect matches for the New York Jets By: Sam Neumann | 8 hours ago After the NFL combine in Indianapolis commences, the Jets, like every other team, will enter free agency looking for the right fits. New York currently has the second most available cap space in the NFL after cutting Spencer Long and will continue to see open space grow after they part ways with Isaiah Crowell. The Jets have a long laundry list of needs and with an abundance of cap space and two rounds without draft picks, a lot of the work will be done in free agency. Let’s take a look at six perfect matches for the Jets in free agency. RB Tevin Coleman, Atlanta Falcons Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman (26) breaks a tackle by New York Jets free safety Marcus Maye (26) during the fourth quarter at MetLife Stadium. (Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports) Tevin Coleman is set to hit the open market and will be looking for a home where he can be the starting running back, instead of splitting carries with Devonta Freeman. Le’Veon Bell is the more complete free agent back, but Coleman will demand less money and allow the Jets to allocate funds elsewhere. Coleman, who will be just 26 in April, was a key contributor in multiple playoff trips for the Falcons, including Super Bowl 51. He has a career 2,340 rushing yards with 18 rushing touchdowns. As a dual-threat back, Coleman has 92 receptions for 1,010 yards and 11 touchdowns. For Sam Darnold, Coleman would be the perfect back out of the backfield. Not only as a capable runner, who has averaged 4.4 yards per carry for his career, but as a threat in the passing game as well. Coleman presents less of a distraction while being able to provide similar production as Bell. Page 2 LB Anthony Barr, Minnesota Vikings Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (55) reacts after making a play during the third quarter against the Green Bay Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium. (Harrison Barden-USA TODAY Sports) Henry Anderson is unlikely to be retained by the Jets, as they will switch to a 4-3 scheme under new DC Gregg Williams. The Jets will need a 4-3 defensive end that can put his hand in the dirt and get after the quarterback. Anthony Barr would be the perfect fit for the Jets off of the edge. Barr was Pro Football Focus’ 18th-highest-graded linebacker against the run last season and his presence would help immensely next to Leonard Williams. The four-time Pro Bowler is set to become an unrestricted free agent and seemed to be not utilized properly in Minnesota. A match between a player with a lot of talent looking for a change of scenery and a team that needs an edge rusher makes too much sense. Page 3 WR Adam Humphries, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries (10) runs past Atlanta Falcons cornerback Brian Poole (34) after a catch during the second half at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. (Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports) The Jets are in need of a slot receiver and Adam Humphries immediately fills that hole. Quincy Enunwa would move to the slot if the Jets were to acquire a vertical threat on the outside, but he can mix and match and complement Humprhries. Traditional slot receivers like Humphries are starting to rule the NFL — see New England’s Super Bowl MVP, Julian Edelman. Humphries set career highs in receptions and receiving yards in 2018 with the Buccaneers going through a quarterback carousel. The 26-year-old has been mostly healthy, as injury concerns arise with the position. With this signing, the Jets would find a perfect match for Darnold in the slot. Page 4 DT Grady Jarrett, Atlanta Falcons The Jets offensive line will have its work cut out against Grady Jarrett and the Falcons defense. (Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports) Grady Jarrett is the interior force that the Jets have been missing since Damon Harrison switched locker rooms at MetLife Stadium. Jarrett finished the 2018 season with career highs in both sacks and forced fumbles. The 25-year-old out of Clemson is set to hit the free agent market and the Jets have an opening in the middle with Steve McLendon likely leaving this offseason. If the Jets want to bulk up their defensive line to improve their pass-rush and run-defense, Jarett is a good start, but the Jets are going to need to fill out their 4-3 with capable edge rushers first. OLB Dante Fowler, Los Angeles Rams New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) hands off as Los Angeles Rams linebacker Dante Fowler (56) defends during the first quarter in Super Bowl LIII at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. (Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports) The Jets have been heavily linked to Dante Fowler since the 2018 trade deadline when New York came close to pulling the trigger on a deal for the former Jaguar. Fowler helped the Rams reach the Super Bowl and finally looked like an elite pass-rusher with a change of scenery. The former third overall pick is only 24. In eight games with the Rams, Fowler finished with 21 tackles, two sacks, a pass defended and a forced fumble. Fowler fills a huge need and would fit like a glove in the Jets’ 4-3 scheme. Page 3 of 3 CB Bryce Callahan, Chicago Bears New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (87) can’t catch a pass against Chicago Bears cornerback Bryce Callahan (37) during overtime at MetLife Stadium. (Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports) Cornerback is an underrated need for the Jets going into 2019. Morris Claiborne, Buster Skrine and Darryl Roberts are all set to become free agents. The Jets are going to need an outside cornerback, but that need will probably be filled during draft weekend. With the Jets starting nickel corner becoming a free agent and New York seemingly not ready to hand the keys to Parry Nickerson to man the slot, Bryce Callahan makes a lot of sense for Gang Green. In a season cut short due to injury, Callahan racked in two sacks and two interceptions. The Jets have enough money to go around for a lot of needs and their secondary would look immensely better with Callahan in it.
