JetBlue Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I mean former Patriots lol. Kenbrell Thompkins has been a revelation and yesterday there was actually a Stevan Ridley sighting and he didn't look to bad. They both provide real quality depth and make our offence that much more dangerous. Mac has really done a great job with this roster both before and during the season. If he is not the Executive of the Year than no one is. On a side note, It is amazing to me how Thompkins just came in moved right past Kerley on the depth chart; talk about falling out of favor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 No shock if Kerley is gone next season this regime just don't like him.. His contract isn't really cut friendly for another year or two. Problem is he is limited to the slot and they like Decker in the slot. If something were to happen to him or Marshall, the Jets would need Kerley big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet_Engine1 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Didn't Kerley get time in the Raiders game? Maybe he and Fitz don't work well together. It is strange though, he's always been a serviceable player. Now he's been put behind Devin Smith (IR), Enunwa, Owusu (gone), and Thompkins. Damn.

bostonmajet Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Theres something going on there, youre right, even when they need him, anyone, he stays glued to the bench Yeah, he doesn't fit into the offense; he is slot and they like to move people in and out of the slot; we need large bodies who can block, break tackles, and provide a big target for fitz to throw to. It is a testament to Macc that there is enough depth at WR that Kerely doesn't get more reps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankiepapa Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Kerley has been good when he's gotten on the field as a wr...I can't see how he doesn't play more especially on third down as that was always his specialty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet he's gone. I actually like the guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Wonder what the Kerley mystery is. Don't think there is really a mystery. Kerley isn't very effective outside. He is a pretty good slot receiver. Decker has been playing in the slot, and doing an excellent job. Gailey clearly likes tall WR's. Kerley, who I like, is odd man out. I suspect he'll be cut next year, but some one will pick him up who likes shifty smaller receivers. He'll be a star on the Pats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southparkcpa Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Not to derail...but I have ties to WVU and pulled for Geno. Let's remember that Kerley was his best receiver .... certainly he never had what we have this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papz187 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Kerley had a TD catch in the first NE game IIRC. I thought he'd be a good fit and compliment to Marshall and Decker, but coaching staff must think otherwise.

Problem is he is limited to the slot and they like Decker in the slot. If something were to happen to him or Marshall, the Jets would need Kerley big time. The NFL has a soft cap, where unused money can be used next year, so they save his $2.5M salary by not paying it to him. They won't play him on offense so he's clearly getting cut. No one pays a player a $2.5M salary to do little more than fair catch punts or be the team's fallback plan to a fallback plan to lining up in the slot. They're dumping him. If you're talking purely about clearing 2016 space as though Kerley's contract existed in a vacuum, then for 2016 they can clear his full $2.5M salary by designating him a June 1 cut (or by literally cutting him after June 1). They save what they don't pay him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Any chance a team out there would want Kerley for a conditional 6th/7th? We gave up a 2nd for Justin McCareins, so sure, there's always a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdeacon Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 It takes some players more than others to get adjusted to the way the nfl flows. Thompkins may be a perfect example of someone who was thrown to the trash heap too early and can be a very valuable 3rd passing option on our team. Next year I can easily see our wr corps being Marshall, Decker, Thompkins, Smith, Enunwa, Kerley and whoever else we draft pick up etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Don't forget Revis... That was the only pick Brady has thrown this season while targeting Gronk. Simply awesome, and it came with perfect timing when the Pats looked like they were surely going to score their first TD of the game.

He is a fringe player that doesn't play specials and is not particularly physically imposing. He is not young, and not really developing. He is a decent stop gap, that won't kill you if he has to see the field, but I am sure they will be looking to replace him with players with more speed and special teams ability.
