Greenseed4 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The New York Daily News reports the Jets have expressed interest in free agent Brandon Browner. However, "it appears unlikely" Browner signs with the Jets at this point. It's the first team connected to Browner since it was announced that he'll only face a four-game suspension to open the 2014 season. He could be a fallback option for GM John Idzik, who obviously knows Browner from their Seattle days.

Integrity28 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Browner, Munnerlyn, DRC and there's got to be a couple other guys that are potential plug-ins. All is not lost... and technically, we lost Revis last year. We're trying to plug the Cromartie hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatthewPLP Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Idzik is a fuc*** idiot. After how badly the secondary was torched last year - repeatedly, looks like we're downgrading the talent.... Unless he has some mysterious secret plans and ain't telling, things don't look good. This is a passing league and cornerbacks come at a premium..Even BB and N.E knew that and didn't mind paying the 12 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Plenty of options in FA and the draft. And none will cost $12 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They paid out of desperation. Their team gets worse each year Brady gets older, the Jets are in an entirely different place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They entered free agency with just over $15M in cap, and just spent $12M on one player...who will be able to walk away next season. It's a big **** You to Rex Ryan. Lets see how it affects their total roster before we kiss their rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's practically impossible to get worse corner back play than what Cro gave us last year, no matter who we sign, it'll be an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Brandon Browner is 6'4, 221. He plays press-man coverage with the best of them, and will come with a 12-game discount. We can sign him, AND re-sign Cromartie, and have two guys for a fraction of what Revis cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In otherwords, yes...there's some mysterious secret plan and he aint telling. Good GM's do this. I know as a Jet fan its hard to recognize what a good GM looks like.

Greenseed4 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 FOX Boston reports free agent CB Brandon Browner will visit the Patriots on Thursday. Suspended for the first four games of 2014, Browner would be a press-specialist luxury for Darrelle Revis and the Pats. The Jets have also expressed interest, but the Pats appear to be his first visit. Browner turns 30 in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not sure how that logic of the Jets alleged downgrading works at all. They have the entire secondary under contract with the exception of Cromartie, who was not only a mess last year, but is still available in FA.

Greenseed4 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I would love Brandon Browner even with the suspension. He's visiting the Patriots tomorrow. Hopefully he's unable to be financially satisfied now that Revis has taken up 80% of their available cap this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJetsVets91 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Even if Browner was as good as Revis the suspension is a no-go... We can't have Milliner and Wilson as our starting corners for 4 weeks. Maybe if we draft CB top 3, but even then it's still risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYJetsVets91 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Why can't we have milliner and wilson? Because Wilson is a bust, and Milliner is shaky at best...

I think it's a horrible situation to put Milliner in as the no.1 corner weeks 1-4. No sarcasm. Winslow might not be the best example other than the fact that our team won't shy away from a player they view as being talented just for being suspended. Whether we add Browner or not, Milliner is likely to be our no.1 CB for weeks 1-16. The other spot is the one up for grabs right now, and likely to be manned by a new addition (a second or third-tier FA type), a draft pick, or one of our depth guys like Wilson, Walls, Berry etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it isn't. I don't believe Milliner has earned the right to the no.1 spot. If they're still exploring other CBs Munnerlyn, Browner, ect. I'd say give them the no.1 and Milliner no.2 and Wilson the nickel as always. I'd much rather have Munnerlyn at the no.1 then Milliner any day, at least until he shows us he is a legit no.1.

And when did wilson become a bust? He's 1 of the best nickle corners in the league. The only, reason he still plays there. And if we do bring in captain who's a nickle, kyle will get a island. Lol, sorry to brake it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
