F.Chowds Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 BY MANISH MEHTA The Jets have expressed interest in former Dolphins safety Yeremiah Bell, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Bell, 34, was released by Miami last month. Rosenhaus told a television station in South Florida on Sunday night that the Eagles and Patriots are also interested, according to the Palm Beach Post. Bell, who played eight seasons in Miami, was the Dolphins' leading tackler last season at strong safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWC611 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I trust Manish, but I think they guy is a little too old for us at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I trust Manish, but I think they guy is a little too old for us at this point. Old or not, anything that gets Eric Smith off the field more is a win. As long as Bell is capable of remaining on his feet throughout a play, he's an instant upgrade.

Jetsfan80 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Old or not, anything that gets Eric Smith off the field more is a win. Agreed, but this "Anyone but Eric Smith" policy secures only mediocrity. Let's try to upgrade the position for the long-term rather than just bringing in any old JAG.

Let's try to upgrade the position for the long-term rather than just bringing in any old JAG. Agreed, but there is nothing to say you can't sign said old JAG just to ensure that the NFL's single worst starting safety is taken off of the field while still continuing to try to upgrade the position throughout the remainder of the offseason via FA, the draft and even UDFA.

Jetfan13 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Bell is a Smith clone, he is slow and can't cover. He makes a lot of tackles but never from behind. He does however stay on his feet better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see us replace smith who needs to be replaced with someone younger (than 34 anyway) if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG, you know as well as I do that when the Jets sign a JAG, the position is fixed. They're not going to bring in a young player to compete with him and then cut the JAG when he loses his job. That's not what we do. Signing Yeremiah Bell = still having the worst safeties in the NFL and having no youth at the position to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 He sucks worse than Smith. Truth. This. This signing would be for depth and incase Landry gets hurt because I guarantee he wont beat out Eric Smith for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Bell would be Landry insurance, imo. We'd have Landry, Bell, Smith and still without a free safety that can cover? Also, I thought Barron was in the mold of Landry / Polamalu? So... hmm. I'm at a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryno the Jet Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 He would be a decent backup/insurance for Landry, nothing more. The Jets seem to be posturing for Jimmy Leonhard's return... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Bell is a guy you bring in for min, for WHEN Landry gets hurt. Then you'll have Smith and his Dad back there. As far as Baron goes, why would you draft a 2nd round talent at 16? Jets are stuck at S again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
