Do The Jets Give Hester A Look?


Il Mostro

Yep.  He's six years younger than Hester, and doubles as a WR threat.  He's averaged 50 rec/year for the last three years. 

 

Hester is strictly a return guy.  

 

 

McCluster is probably looking to get paid.  I'm assuming Hester is going to get a $2M/year or less type deal. For that he might be worth a look.  They obviously liked the idea of Josh Cribbs last year and kept waiting for him to be healthy.  Hester would be a nice replacement for Cribbs.

What kind of money you think McCluster is going to ask for?

My uneducated guess? I was thinking he'd be asking for something in the $4M/yr range.  Figure he'd try to use Sproles deal as a guide.  The one blurb I saw had him looking at 3 years for $8/9M which is probably pretty manageable, especially when you consider what they gave Goodson.

That was I was thinking...for a player as versatile as him...I'd do it.

Plenty of options in this draft for the smaller/shifter backs. DeAnthony Thomas, Lache Seastrunk, Bishop Sankey, etc,

agree 100% fixes several problems at once. sure he is banged up a lot but as a change of pace player hopefully he can stay upright for 12+ games

He is still young I think 26 years old. He would be my choice as replacement for Goodson. Idzik can make amends for that mistake.

We already had Devin Hester on the Jets last year--his name was Josh Cribbs. I have no problem bringing either of those guys in though, I know Cribbs did nothing on offense but yet he made enough plays on special teams to justify a roster spot. He (and Hester) can take it to the house any time they get the ball in space.

I agree.  That would be my preferred route, which is why I'd kick the tires on a possibly cheaper option like Hester than a guy that make cost some coin.  I will be interested to see what they do.  Hester is not a good WR, but they need playmakers and he is probably pretty cheap for a guy that does that.

Darren McFadden is also out there. SAYYESTODMC

I doubt the Jets will target a return guy in free agency, especially when they're likely to be looking at WRs, RBs, and CBs in the draft. All positions that could double as returners.
