F.Chowds Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The second wave of free agency is apparently underway for wide receivers, with some of the lesser-regarded targets starting to move around. And with a clear need for more help other thanEric Decker, it’s no surprise the Jets are still looking. According to Brian Costello of theNew York Post, the Jets have shown interest in Raiders wideout Jacoby Ford. Ford has familiarity with Jets receivers coach Sanjay Lal from Oakland, and has the kind of game-breaking speed the Jets could certainly use in the k He hasn’t drawn much of a market so far, and the Raiders clearly have no interest in him after he was a healthy scratch the final two weeks of the season.

docdhc Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think he'd be a good pick up. They need a returner. I always thought he would have had a better career than he's had. He is extremely fast and has a lot of potential at only 26. He'd be cheap and worth a try IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayKwaz Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I would be fine with him and nelson as our third and fourth receivers and kerley in the slot. Still would need a starter opposite Decker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsis Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have to say. I have no ide who this guy is. ****, was he a raider? I don't pay much attention to them. I hate working Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdhc Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 He's easy to mix up with Jacoby Jones from Baltimore. Ford is shorter, probably faster, and has been much less productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 He has pretty incredible talent and his development was surely hindered by the last four years of mess that was Oakland. He's interesting considering he's still only 26 with play-making ability as both a KR/PR and on offense. He's definitely worth a minimum-salary flier.

We need all scrubs we can gather on offense. Can we ask David Clowney to please come back. Ford is not coming here to be our #3 or #4, but he may very well have to fill that role once Hill get benched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Breaking bottles over strippers heads and all... Wasn't that Jacoby Jones, the dude from baltimore? Edit: It was Jones, not Ford. Unless Ford did it too and I just didn't see it, which really wouldn't surprise me at all. Haha the stripper's name was Sweat Pea and she actually smashed the Ace of Spades bottle over his head. You really can't make that stuff up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Jacoby Ford would be great if you were starting a freeze tag team, but in a league where half the kicks are touchbacks, I don't see why you would want him on our roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a special teamer. Jets ST got a boost when we picked up Cribbs. Ford may be able to do the same. Got tired of seeing our KRs falling at the 20 yard line everytime with no burst.

Yea, I just edited my previous post as you were typing this. Looked up the story, that's just good entertainment right there. Regardless, I think Ford is the exact type of guy you bring in: still young, lots of speed, actual game-day experience, minimum-salary flier... Let guys like him, Salas, Gates and Hakiim fight for the last couple of spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The guy has done nothing during four years in the league, so he is going to miraculously transform into a productive player?

Ford definitely showed some promise as a rookie, but it went all down hill from there. Have to guess someone with the Jets, be that MM, Idzik or whoever else, thinks the Raiders are to blame for that and that there's something there.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 So is Usane Bolt. Remind me, was Usain Bolt ever listed as the 17th prep school player in the nation coming out of high school? Did he have over 1000 all purpose yards his senior year, which includes 700+ receiving yards and 4 tds in the ACC? The guy is not the possession-burner that you so desire, but he's pretty much the ideal candidate for a minimum-salaryflier. Especially considering how poor we've been on PR lately.

#27TheDominator Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Assuming he is pretty cheap, I like it. He's the kind of guy they have to be able to cut even this year, but worthwhile and plenty of upside, especially with MM. Ford definitely showed some promise as a rookie, but it went all down hill from there. Have to guess someone with the Jets, be that MM, Idzik or whoever else, thinks the Raiders are to blame for that and that there's something there. Yeah. I assume he is a hard worker and decent guy since Lal had him in Oakland his rookie year when he actually produced a bit. The problem with that theory is that is what everybody said about Schillens who did nothing here. Plenty of that should be blamed on Sparano, but the Lal connection is far from money in the bank.

I dunno man, I'm not sure if that sends the right message. If you expect the players to earn their jobs, surely you have to expect the accountants and agents in the front office to do so as well.
