Claimed Pats DB

6'. Sounds like good ST player.

PICK ANALYSIS:

The Patriots find an excellent athlete who put up explosive numbers at his pro day (4.38 40, 1.48 10-Yd, 39 VJ). He'll need considerable technique work but he's a low risk pick with some upside down the line. --Mark Dulgerian

But we already bought her some jewelry (guaranteed and not coming back to us) , so we if the new chicks we are with now get sick, we can have some mid season insurance if we need some. 

I guess.  Just hope the Jets don't pass on the next slightly less hot chick now though cause Milliner is waiting.  The new chick may not be as hot, but could actually cook, clean and be active in bed.

I think waiver claims need to be in by noon, but PS signing does not start until an hour later. 

 

Thanks!

Glad to hear this, I'd like to see them get Watts on the P.S. too.

Does he have a burst off the edge?

Unless we hope, in some magical world, that Milliner will eventually have some trade value, why keep him on?

The Jets will likely try to come to an injury settlement to cut his cap number. It would be amenable to Milliner bc his other option would be to sit on IR all season with not having a season ending injury. 

[ARodJetsFan]

• The Jets claimed tight end Braedon Bowman (Jaguars), tight end Brian Parker (Chiefs), running back Troymaine Pope (Seahawks), and cornerback Darryl Roberts (Patriots), per multiple reports.

Great thought... Milliner is a FA next year with very little game tape due to injury.

He might take a deal (70% of pay) if another team  would sign him to make up the difference and get him on the roster.

Then he can try and build his value for 2nd contract

Just know that his forte was getting to the QB. No idea if his game translates to NFL level. 

[Shadetree]

Sorry..I'm out of touch last few days..

what is the QB depth situation in the 53-man roster?

im hoping it'll be this before too long...

im really pulling for petty to start making big leaps.

By claiming four players, the Jets will now need to free up four roster spots to make room for said players. This could spell trouble for running back Dominique Williams, tight ends Kellen Davis and Brandon Bostick, along with cornerback Dexter McDougle.

Some background on the claimed players: 

Braedon Bowman (TE)— An undrafted rookie out of South Alabama, Bowman caught three passes for 32 yards with Jacksonville this preseason. Two of those grabs and 28 of those yards game against the Jets in the preseason opener. Bowman stands 6-4 and weighs 244 pounds. 

Brian Parker (TE) — Parker, now in his second year, signed with the Chiefs last season as an undrafted free agent out of Albany. He appeared in one game last season and caught one pass for four yards. In the preseason this year, Parker caught two passes for 20 yards. He stands 6-4 and weighs 265 pounds. 

Troymaine Pope (RB)— Pope signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Jacksonville State this year. He instantly became a fan favorite. He went from working in a factory, to fighting for his NFL life. At 5-10 and 207 pounds, Pope isn't the biggest runner, but was one of the Seahawks' top performers in the preseason. He ran for 162 yards on 16 carries (6.8 average) and caught one pass for 16 yards. He has some value as a kick returner, too. He averaged 27.5 yards per kick return on six attempts this preseason. 

Darryl Slater ‏@DarrylSlater  4m4 minutes ago

Nothing official yet, but looking likely that UDFA CB Bryson Keeton (cut Saturday by Jets) will be added to their practice squad, per source

Don't think Watts is eligible.  He has more than 2 years of experience.

Ahhhh.....I thought this was his 2nd year.

Looking at it now, he came into the league in 2014, so, I guess this year would actually be his 3rd season.

[C Mart]

Just remember with all these claims, players will be released from teams 53 so another smaller batch to claim / sign tomorrow 

[AFCEastFan]

FWIW, I like Darryl Roberts a lot.  One of 3 Patriots cuts that caused angst among the fanbase (and, not coincidentally, all 3 were claimed by other teams).  Roberts looked to me like a #4 or #5 CB right now, with upside in an absolute best case scenario as a #2.  Injuries are an issue, however.  Still a worthwhile pickup for the Jets IMO.

Good info.... thanks

Now BEAT IT!!

Parker apparently a very good blocker, and Bowman can play H back and Full Back. 

Looks like Bowles saw Bostick's tweet about doubting him, and said oh cut this guy please. Also Housewares keeping could be a two for one deal.

Can you explain those last 2 points.

Unaware of the 1st and not understanding the second point

The rules have changed

[Sarge4Tide]

I guess the corresponding cuts will be......Brandon Bostick, Dominque Williams, Julian Howsare, and Mike Catapano or Lawrence Thomas

Dennis Waszak Jr. ‏@DWAZ73  1m1 minute ago

G Craig Watts (@Cwatts64) signing with #Jets practice squad, per source.

 

I'm guessing this season does not count as the 3rd season yet so he still has only 2 seasons of experience. I'm very happy to hear this one, I think he is a very good Guard prospect.

[NYs Stepchild]

Bostick tweeted "Do not doubt me"

I gave Housewares the nickname from that thread asking why we were howsare keeping. Bowman is a TE/FB tweener who may take the place of Bostick, and Housewares. I think we can sneak him back on the PS though. 

[Sarge4Tide]

Craig Watts looked very solid to me all preseason....VERY happy he's on the practice squad 

 

[ARodJetsFan]

Sorry guys, I tried to fix that previous post several times....I have no idea what the hell happened.

I believe a team can have 2 players on their PS that surpass the normal PS qualifications. Not completely  sure.

4 players with 2 years. You have to be on the team for 6 weeks to count as a season.

Great find!  Probably the only way Dozier made it and he didn't.

It does look like in terms of drafting and signing FAs that this FO is not strong on the O-line. Although trading for Clady could end up being a good deal. But we don't have numbers at those positions and usually you need a lot of depth and NFL caliber players. That was a weakness too of Tannenbaum speaking of whom Vlad was cut yesterday by the Ravens. I know he's been with a few teams including the Bears.

I find it baffling to have drafted 2 young QB'S in back to back years and you fail to a dress the aging OL and the lack of talent on the right side?

You may not like them but for the moment it seems the FO & CS like Qvale, Shell, Winters, Dozier, & Watts potential.

Don't know if you ever heard, but on draft day most teams usually take the best player available regardless of position .We did try to steal the tackle from Ole Miss in that last draft .
