BurnleyJet Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Jets signed WR David Nelson to a two-year contract extension through 2015. The financials are unknown, but it's a deserved deal for a 27-year-old wideout who has bounced back nicely from a torn ACL this season. Nelson has caught 31 passes for 357 yards and two touchdowns across 11 games (five starts). Ideally, Nelson will be the Jets' No. 4 receiver for 2014, but he could serve as the No. 3.

Bleedin Green Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 No extension the initial deal was for 2 years Well even if that's the case, then it's still a 1-year extension, as the deal is now apparently through 2015. Either way it's a smart move as, while the Jets most certainly do not want him anywhere near the starting lineup and he's not going to take Kerley's role in the slot, he still brings a benefit to this team at one of their very worst positions. While there could obviously very easily be changes both with the coaching and players, there's still a certain degree of familiarity there which can always help, and after Kerley, he's still probably the best the Jets had this year. Even if we assume the Jets are really going to manage to go out there and get themselves 2 starting caliber WRs this offseason, a quick look around the league will tell you how much the rest of your depth chart at a position like WR still has plenty of value.

joewillie78 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I thought the Jets and Geno and this offense had no weapons, BUT apparently they thought that Nelson is a weapon making sure they signed him to an extension? How many other weapons that we keep hearing the Jets dont have, will be signed to extensions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many other weapons that we keep hearing the Jets dont have, will be signed to extensions? over the course of the year, David Nelson became Geno's security blanket. We talk alot of crap about how next year's team is gonna be so much different but chances are Geno will be the QB and David Nelson will be his favorite target.

How many other weapons that we keep hearing the Jets dont have, will be signed to extensions? The problem with Nelson isn't that he's on the roster. It's that he's our #2 (you could argue #1) receiver. He is a good third or fourth receiver to have around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Guys a soild 3rd 4th reciever, but he's our 1# at this point, he's 27 no doubt some vet min type deal, good business. The Jets will be hitting Wide Reciever hard this off season, depth is a good thing to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many other weapons that we keep hearing the Jets dont have, will be signed to extensions? Not at all. There is a lack of top-end talent, as there's not a #1 or #2 type WR on the roster at this point. Also, there were far too many injuries. Let's say that Holmes, Kerley and Hill began the season as our top 3 WRs. Well, each one of them missed 2 or more games this season. Gates probably would have been #4-ish if I recall correctly and he missed half of the season. Then at tight end, you've got Winslow and Cumberland. Each of those guys missed 2 or more games as well. Geno pretty much had a new WR/TE group every week, guys rotating in and out. Some injuries are to be expected but not this many. So lack of top-end talent + excessive injuries = what you saw.

nj meadowlands Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 He'll have to make the team...no free rides in year 3 with zero production under your belt. I'd imagine Hill is back as the #5 (if we keep 6 WRs), or else he gets cut in favor of a guy who plays STs. 1. Watkins / Evans / Lee 2. <<Insert veteran WR here (Austin, S. Johnson, whomever)>> 3. Kerley 4. Nelson 5. HIll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hill was a project when drafted- Georgia Tech hardly throw the ball at all. But in his third year it is time for him to show he is a legitmate player in the league- no more free rides or he is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Tavon AUstin's year for example. and btw I don't see a huge difference between Evans and Nelson. they are both bigger guys almost TEs with above average hands but not game breakers What really might happen is they develop the draft pick and Nelson/Hill/Kerley is the main corp. Maybe they add a Maclin or Britt to the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotcheryifyouCan Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 vet receiver like maclin, james jones, andre johnson as #1, rookie like watkins #2, kerley in the slot, nelson #4 and hill #5 could be a decent crop. way better then what we have had the past 2 seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
