Larz Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 meh I was hoping for a guy who has a history of being a good pass catcher maybe this is just a body for camp signing if it is indeed true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32EBoozer Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 In case Ivory pulls up lame in camp, they have a veteran to go along with Powell. I'm OK w/it but hope beyond hope we grab a good RB in round 2 or 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 We are signing a lot of veterans with good experience. It's most likely a short term deal that provides more solid offensive competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revis Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Maybe a precursor of an ivory deal to come. If we can get a 3rd for Ivory i'd do it in a sec. He's 27 and with his style he prob has 2 years tops left in those legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OuttaSightPF Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · 4m4 minutes agoFormer #Patriots RB Stevan Ridley is signing with the #Jets, source said. I've had big questions about some moves we have made and the way these contracts have been structured. But this move is senseless. I'm seriously getting worried. This is an outstanding RB draft. We have 2 seasoned vets in Powell and Ivory. Why sign an aging RB coming off a major injury?? We NEED a young player at this position. Ajayi, Duke Johnson, even Josh Robinson as a late round pick. Why sign this guy? I really wish we had brought in an expierienced GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It's another solid low risk high reward signing. Ridley is a solid all-around RB, nothing exceptional but not putrid either. If it weren't for the knee surgery, he'd have more suitors. Watch us draft Gurley @ #6 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajayi, Duke Johnson, even Josh Robinson as a late round pick. Why sign this guy? I really wish we had brought in an expierienced GM. There's no reason not to draft a back still. I think there's a chance the Ivory role could be up for grabs in camp- between him and Ridley....I dont think Ivory is a lock for the roster I guess...Powell will make the roster as a back up by default. But someone like Duke Johnson or Abdullah will probably be considered. Or the thoughts are- we suck at QB, defenses are getting smaller and adding as many backs as possible is the way to go. Especially bruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all the RBs we have on the roster are all FA within a year (Powell & Ridley) or two (Ivory, who's always injured) . We will be drafting a RB or two in May In addition, and I've said this from the minute Gailey was on board: Ivory, who is similar to Marshawn Lynch, may not be in the LT plans under new regime because he doesn't fit their style. Lynch was shipped to Seattle for a 5th, Ivory could have a similar fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetBlue Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Guys I am confident we will still draft a running back. We probably just won't do so until round 4 unless the position is the best on our board. Relax. Remember in todays' NFL its running back by committee.
