JetNation Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Free agency started at 4pm on Thursday and as was expected the Jets were pretty quiet. They are in full rebuild mode after the recent high profile roster purge. The team did announce that two linebackers have been re-signed. We have re-signed OLB Josh Martin.

He originally signed with the Jets in November of 2015 after spending time on the Indianapolis Colts practice squad. Corey Lemonier was claimed off of waivers in late December and played for the Jets in their Week 17 win over the Buffalo Bills. He also played for Cleveland and Detroit last season. On the year he had nine tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Click here to read the full story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 How many snaps did Lemonier play in Cleveland? In 8 games (of limited action, I'm guessing) he managed 2 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a PD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 They fit what we need to continue to improve with on defense and that is speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It's good to see us locking up our homegrown role-players. These are the types of guys that get taken for granted, but are essential to sustaining any level of success. Now, the key is to augment them with some tier 1 talent.

He was in their rotation, but got less run when they traded for Jamie Collins. He hadn't been there that long because they got him off waivers from the Niners. I looked it up, they cut him when the picked up Darius Jackson off waivers from the Cowboys. I don't think Jackson was ever even active for them, but that franchise was certainly already looking past 2016. profootballreference.com has snap counts now, so it is easy enough to look up.

I get your point, but these guys aren't exactly home grown. Lemonier was a Niner 3rd rounder on 4 teams last year alone. Martin has been kicking around the league for years and only joined the Jets late in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I was talking more holistically about all of yesterday's moves. It's early, I should have been more clear. Lemonier, Martin, Wesley, Ijilana, etc ... all the small moves that didn't impress fans yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is tons of talent out there. Much of it is cheap. Guys like Taylor Gabriel, just rotting on teams. This is the the time to find them. Save your money for a real QB or surefire talent. Ijalana's deal was a bit rich for my blood, but what can you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing. Have to remember there is a "tax" we'll have to pay for being a bottom 5 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepPep Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Both good signings. Both good depth. Lemonier is a surprisingly good pass rusher, even with the limited snaps he got when on the Jets. Martin is also good on special teams. Curious to see what the do with the ILB situation. Will they cut Harris? Will they resign B.Carter? Will they go after Minter? They already let Henderson walk.

Henderson had off the field issues if you remember he was absent for almost half the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
