Jets cut Jalen Saunders and sign T.J Graham

[bitonti]

  instead of harboring David Nelson on the team to make 2 catches for 17 yards every other game.  

 

dont forget his 2 fumbles 

[Sonny Werblin]

Are you ******* kidding me?  They cut Saunders?

 

WTF???

 

12 picks, 12.  And what, 3 are on the current roster?  

 

Holy ******* sh*t.  Somebody needs to take Idzik out back and shoot him.

 

This ******* organization. 

 

 

 

I think 8 of them are on the roster, IR, and practice squad.

[Jetmech]

500,000 for a couple of months of work- nice sign me up

Don't forget the million Patterson received for not even playing a game!

[Rexorcism]

What's Braylon Edwards up to these days?

Saw Bray on the sidelines of the Michigan game, looked healthy, wouldn't mind seeing him back if he's somewhat healthy.

[Larz]

but he's forcing geno on rex because he is one of his draft picks

 

LOL

[ZachEY]

See, now THIS is something to go after Idzik for.

 

I'm fine with not overpaying for free agents, and building through the draft.  But if that's your strategy, you need to hit on those draft picks.  Especially in a draft as deep as this one was.  

 

A fourth rounder cut four weeks into the season.  Terrible. 

 

Agree with this 100%.

 

Was totally on board with Idzik's strategy this offseason.  However, the draft is a back alley abortion and at this point, you pretty much have to fire everybody.

[neckdemon]

It's the fault of people like you, who insisted we retain Rex at all costs, that we don't have a competent GM.

 

 

so now we are making administrative decisions for the team? this post is extremely ignorant if serious

Seahawks' draft picks starting slow

Most of the 2013 rookies for the Seattle Seahawks were viewed as having a redshirt year last season. It’s early, but the same might be said for most of the 2014 rookie class.

So far, the only major contributor of the 2014 draft picks is Justin Britt, who is starting at right offensive tackle.

Two of the nine picks were cut -- fullback Kiero Small and defensive tackle Jimmy Staten, who now is on the practice squad.

Defensive back Eric Pinkins is on non-football injured reserve, as is offensive tackle Garrett Scott, who learned during his team physical that he has a heart condition.

Rookie receiver Kevin Norwood of Alabama had foot surgery during training camp and has yet to be active for a game.

Receiver Paul Richardson, defensive end Cassius Marsh and linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis have played but have yet to make much of a contribution.

Richardson, the speedster out of Colorado who was a second-round pick and the first player selected by the Seahawks, made his first NFL catch on Sunday against Denver.

Marsh, a fourth-round pick for UCLA who is viewed as relentless pass rusher, has four tackles and no sacks. Pierre-Louis played for the first time Sunday after missing the first two games with a hamstring injury and had a tackle on special teams.

Six of the 11 draft choices in 2013 are no longer with the team _ receiver Chris Harper, running back Spencer Ware, guards Ryan Seymour and Jared Smith, linebacker Ty Powell and offensive tackle Michael Bowie.

Two others have yet to play in an NFL game – defensive tackle Jesse Williams (injured reserve) and cornerback Tharold Simon. But Simon will play soon after undergoing minor knee surgery there weeks ago.

Running back Christine Michael, a second-round choice and the first pick by the Seahawks last year, has not been on the active roster yet this season, but he is healthy now after being out with a hamstring injury.

Two 2013 draft picks are playing a lot as backups -- tight end Luke Willson and defensive tackle Jordan Hill. But Hill has one tackle and Willson, who had 20 receptions and one TD last year, has only one catch this season.

I place no value in what "many here" think or say.

FTR, I value your posts a great deal. They remind me that the Internet really is for everybody.

I love the Latinos: their islands are colorful and full of color.

Idzik has to find out which area scout pimped Saunders, how Saunders' name got through to the point of consideration, and find out how he came to be valued as a fourth rounder in their minds. Then he has to start firing those people tomorrow.

[BP]

That would take somebody with the ability to solve problems. there isn't one Jets employee that could handle that responsibility.

[JetsFanInDenver]

The JETS also cut Lequan Lewis CB.

Then Idzik needs to find the highest window in the building, and jump out of it.

Comparing the Jets to Seattle is kind of like when people were comparing Geno to P Manning last year. Pointless. It's well documented that the talent found in Seattle was mostly due to Pete Carroll and his knowledge of the group of kids from when he was recruiting them all out of high school. It wasn't their GM or their front office. There is no comparison here.

[IPBanBadPosters]

Didn't mind the pick, but why in the 4th rd. he would've been there in the 7th. You can say that about every pick after the first 2. Reached on all of them.

It is a step in the the right direction that we didn't just hold onto him to save face.

 

Like I said in another post, I think that guy from Walter Football was spot-on:

 

"It doesn't appear as though the Jets understand the value aspect of the draft. They see players they like, and they take them, completely ignoring the fact that they can obtain better prospects at earlier picks all while still securing the players they covet much later."

[win4ever]

dont forget his 2 fumbles 

 

Lol ofcourse, runs after the catch with his arms extended like he's doing that stupid flying celebration that Holmes used to do.  

[Smashmouth]

Are you ******* kidding me?  They cut Saunders?

 

WTF???

 

12 picks, 12.  And what, 3 are on the current roster?  

 

Holy ******* sh*t.  Somebody needs to take Idzik out back and shoot him.

 

This ******* organization. 

saunders is horrible and so is idzik

You can't compare 2 teams drafts from the last couple years?  Not the success of the teams - just the drafts?

[joewilly12]

Agree the Saunders pick was a joke im glad it backfired in Idziks face

[C Mart]

**** up wr's? How the hell does Stephen Hill make zero progress in his time here, much less regress? Dude needs to be fired along with the rest of this coaching staff and our dumbass front office. People on here clamoring for Benjamin don't seem to realize that the Panthers had to coach him up. Dude struggled with catching, on our team he would've been the next Stephen Hill.

Ricky Proehl is their WR Coach. Ironically Hill's agent was hoping Hill would end with Carolina when he was initially waived by the Jets so Proehl could work with him.

[joewilly12]

The Jets have Sanjay Lal I don't think he ever played a down of NFL football

 

[RSJ]

You can. I was just kind of being funny tbh. I guess Idzik and me both need to try harder.

[RSJ]

The Jets have Sanjay Lal I don't think he ever played a down of NFL football

 

 

The funniest thing about Lal is right after the Jets/Lions game, on comes a clip of Louis Murphy catching a long pass from Mike Glennon to set up the game winning touchdown. Murphy was coached by Lal in Oak, now he is performing and catching passes welll. And he is now catching them from a better QB than Geno who was picked two rounds after Geno. Can't make this stuff up if you tried.

Whose side are you on anyway? Commie!

Whose side are you on anyway? Commie!

NY Jets fans all over who knew Idzik wasn't the answer that's who.

[JohnnyLV]

Personally I think Saunders got in Rex's doghouse and he forced this move to send a "message" to the offense which led to the players only meeting.

Rings hollow when you wont bench the worst qb in the league with a historically bad first 20 games under his belt for a guy making 5M bucks--typical scapegoat move, which rex has proven quite adept at during his tenure here.

Sidenote: I wonder who is having more regret right now. decker, vick or cj?

[Matt39]

Is it really a scapegoat move when the player who's getting cut not NFL calibre?

Graham actually has deep speed. Saunders didn't.
