Greenseed4 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm actually relieved to know that he's back on roster, whether it's in a starters role or for depth. Continuity is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 At this point, he is the highest rated guard left on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Very solid signing. Brings continuity, plus in the pass game, struggled in the run game a bit, but picked it up towards the end of the year. Still would like to draft one this year, but at the very least it gives Campbell or the new draft pick another year to develop and acclimate to the NFL game.

Jetsfan80 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 At this point, he is the highest rated guard left on the market. He was also rated in the top 10 of "available guards" by nearly every publication before free agency even began, for whatever it's worth. Yeah, we missed out on Schwartz and Asamoah. But Colon is better than most stop-gap options, and at $2M, fine by me. Colon might not be a terrific run blocker but the acquisition of Giacomini shored us up nicely on the right side of the line. We can roll with Ferguson-Winters-Mangold-Colon-Giacomini. Plus I imagine we'll continue to stockpile linemen in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmartin Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Good job! I always like when they can resign our own guys. At least he knows the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colon might not be a terrific run blocker but the acquisition of Giacommini shored us up nicely on the right side of the line. Plus at that price he can very easily be sent to the bench if he's outplayed by any one of a future FA pickup, a draft pick, or even Campbell or Aboushi. If nobody steps up out of that pool, then at least they've still got Colon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, clearly a situation where if an upgrade at RG comes available, he'll get the job, but you don't want to replace the incumbent until you have a replacement ready to go. Tannenbaum made that mistake far too often on the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Good. No immediate need to fill his vacated spot with the 18th overall pick. I expect similar signings of a CB and WR before the draft also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I officially feel we have at least JAG level starters at every position. My horrible fears are gone. This can only mean one thing. They are going to sign VIck and ruin everything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Does anyone know a good site for contract info? I normally use Rotoworld, but that only shows current salary info.

Typically overthecap.com is a good bet, but given that he's gone I'm not sure you'd be able to find anything for him there. Just doing a quick search I found this: "New York Jets OG Stephen Peterman signed a one-year deal worth $905,000. The deal includes a $65,000 signing bonus."

I'd be willing to bet Cromartie or Samuel at CB. I'd also guess Rice at WR, not that I'm really in love with the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 1 less position to fill. Played well last year and the sense of continuity is a plus. Our right side of the line plays with a certain attitude that I feel every line needs. Good re-sign Idzik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll toss out a few ideas and see if anyone picks em up and rolls with it. 1) biceps injury was suffered late in the season: not allowing him to work out, possibly not in shape or ready for camp. 2) Too vocal in the locker room and to the media. 3) Too ardent of a Rex supporter. 3) That's just like Idzik to sign an injured player for a guaranteed roster spot. And go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 And so begins the quiet mid level moves Idzik will use to fill out the roster while he uses the draft to get the guys he wants. I like this signing as I did Pace, Cumberland and the D line guy who's name I suddenly can not remember for the life of me., Douzable!!! There it is. These are the things that enable us to go BAP in the draft and build a strong competitive roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 gotta better one for ya. 4. hasn't finished a complete season without injury since 2009 True, but that last one is a bit disingenuous as he made it through 15.5 games this year. However, it's all the more reason to draft his eventual replacement this year and have him be our backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Good. No immediate need to fill his vacated spot with the 18th overall pick. I expect similar signings of a CB and WR before the draft also. I expect an identical signing at CB, in that they'll bring back Cromartie after flirting with the idea of upgrading at the position. Not so sure about WR. I've read that they think Hill can still be the burner opposite Decker. That could be smoke-blowing, but they do have Kerley and Nelson, and WR is still probably the most likely position to be taken at #18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
