Cmartin Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Reports: Several FA Veterans Visit Jets Posted 1 hour ago By Jets Staff The Jets had visits today from several free agent veterans, according to multiple reports. CB Dimitri Patterson (5'11", 196) is a well-traveled eight-year veteran who was recently released by Miami. He played in six games with four starts and four interceptions for the Dolphins last season, including the first two-INT game of his career in the 'Fins' season-opening win at Cleveland, according to ESPN New York and Pro Football Talk. The Daily News also reported that WR Jacoby Ford and OL Rich Ohrnberger also visited the team facility. Ford played his first four seasons with Oakland and had 57 catches for a 14.9-yard average and three touchdowns in his career plus four kickoff-return TDs, all in his first two seasons as a Raider. Ohrnberger (6'2", 291) played right guard for the Chargers last season, had four starts for Arizona in '12, and spent his first three pro seasons as a Patriots fourth-round draft choice (five games, no starts).

JayKwaz Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ohrnberger is from East Meadow. Would be a solid vet as reserve. Why haven't they signed Ford yet? This is his third visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Jet Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I would like Ford. Decker, Kerley, draft pick (OBJ/Lee please), Ford, Nelson, Hill not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I like Ford for some WR and probably ST depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I like Ford for some WR and probably ST depth. Free agent Jacoby Ford visited the Jets on Monday. Ford was linked to the Jets two weeks ago, but it's his first-known visit. Ford has play-making ability on offense and special teams, but is among the league's most-brittle players. Any deal will include little guaranteed money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I am surprised Ford hasn't garnered more attention. He is Al Davis approved. I wouldn't mind seeing him out in Green and White. Shoot, he is definitely better than Gates, Mr. "World Class Speed That No One Has Seen". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 ford would be a nice KOR guy, Patterson would be good competition and depth, and ohrnberger as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I like Ford and think he would be worth it if only for PR and depth. If he can stay healthy, which up to this point he has not, he could make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77DRAFT Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 we're getting Ford instead of DeSean, at least they both have 4.3 speed. We better take a wr in the first round if we want to be anything next year, lets put together a great wr core, not the standard garbage of the past few years. I know the meadowlands has garbage dumps,but we shouldn't be getting our receivers from them. Rex and IDie better get a clue. I love how oblivious you are to the irony of this post.

Bleedin Green Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well, they all can't be of Kenny Britt's caliber. Dude. 11 receptions at 8.7 yards per catch and all of that in just 12 games. How could you expect that kind of elite production from any other FA at this point? I mean, that's just short of the numbers of the immortal Clyde Gates, and it only took Britt twice as many games.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ford is just as good as Desean Jackson right? Exactly. Because by passing up on Jackson, it somehow triggered a clause in the CBA, where the Jets are contractually obligated to only bring in players of higher caliber than the ones they didn't sign. Fact.

unbanmadmike1 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Because who needs one of the best WR's in the NFL when you can have a fast bust with 15 catches last season! Right up idzik's alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The Jets shouldn't bring in a single wide receiver until they find one who's better than Jackson. That's just how good football teams operate.

Freemanm Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ford would be great for KR duty and as a #3 or 4 receiver who can stretch the field with his speed. That would probably be the only worthwhile pickup out of the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
