Freeman24 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Realistically, do the Jets have a shot? I heard he was 80% going back to Texans? A lot of money tied up in one player albiet a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm wary of one year wonders that play on stacked defenses. Seattle had more than one DB that struck it rich in fa and flopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman24 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Bouye was always stuck behind higher priced cbs on the Texans. Only 25 yrs old? Might be a good investment. Burris on the other side makes for a nice cb position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdeacon Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If we are going to pay big money on a FA cb I rather have Gilmore who has performed at a higher level for a longer period of time and is only 26 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Remember when Alterraun Verner was on everybody's wish list? He's looked horrible, and Tampa cut him.

Adoni Beast Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I like Burris' potential and think he can be a good #2. I'd rather spend less on Claiborne from Dallas and draft a cb in a deep draft in round 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, he had been doing so all season but he happens to play in Houston, who nobody pays any attention to unless they are forced to. Bouye can play, I would not be afraid to pay him to be our #1 CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepPep Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 He would not be my #1 target if I were going after a CB. T.Johnson is the guys I want. More proven, prototypical size, solid tackler, not much of a n injury history. I would go after him hard in FA. He's 27 but worth every penny. I would also cut Skrine, let Williams walk, cut Gilchrist and go after Claiborne if we can get a him at a decent price. Otherwise, make sure you draft a CB in the first 2 rounds. Thats just me. If you get Claiborne you can allow yourself to go after Hooker at 6, IMO. But the following lineup would be nice... CB: T.Johnson (FA), M.Claiborne (FA), Burris, Roberts, Marshall (returner), McDougle/Keeton/UDFA/rookie/whoever S: Hooker (rookie), Middleton, Pryor, Miles, Martin OR CB: T.Johnson, Burris, S.Jones (rookie), Roberts, Marshall (returner), McDougle/Keeton/UDFA/rookie/whoever S: Middleton, Pryor, Miles, Martin, rookie/UDFA/whoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Nothing against Bouye, but one thing to consider is that teams with down offenses can inflate defenders value. Opponents play safe because they are not worried about Osweiler/Savage beating them. Sort of like QBs on horrible teams (Glennon) having yards and looking decent. It is easier to look good against a prevent. This is just a general theory. I have not paid enough attention to either of those guys to make a definitive judgment.

I know he picked off Brady but that's whats making him a hot commodity? This is one of those guys you stay far far away from because he's a hot name and happens to be a FA. See: Buster Skrine.

Integrity28 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Bouye will never justify the contract he gets in FA, it's just how it is. He's going to be one of the first players signed. Those early signing guys ever have strong ROI. Give me the 5th best FA corner for a normal contract, then draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's the second year running that Johnson has been tagged, leaving the defender to play out the 2017 campaign for a cool $16.8 million -- making him the highest-paid cornerback league-wide." We Jets fans laugh at only paying a rate of $16.8m for a CB. Get back to me when someone else breaks the $19m threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
