Dcat Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 just read that Cleveland informed the 31 year old TE that he will be released shortly. Might be a good pick up as a stop-gap TE for 2017 and maybe 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 An inanimate carbon rod would be good stop gap with the TE's we have kicking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Barnidge would be a really nice pickup for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Barnridge is a solid TE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 While this is hardly a type of team to typically be looking for older short-term options, in this particular case if it were to help in the evaluation of Petty and/or Hackenberg, that makes it a bit more worthwhile. Even if the Jets were to draft a kid at some point, you could still let him and ASJ fight it out for a spot, assuming of course the price is low.

nj meadowlands Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Guy's pretty old. Did have a decent year with McCown. Pretty agnostic on it, but I guess at 1 yr I'd be okay with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Meh, we're trying to get young. This kind of counter acts that. Decent player but dont sleep on ASJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupz27 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 All this would do is make McCown a touch better giving him maybe an extra win, or 2 moving our ceiling to 6 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnidge would be a good stop gap while the kids develop. I know it may sound crazy, but teams are allowed more than one competent tight end on their roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'm not looking to tank a season to see if Hack has it or not. If he wins the job in training camp than that's a win win. But if McCown does he starts. If the rest of the team plays well we will be competitive with McCown. If you're competitive you have a chance to get in the playoffs. There are few teams right now that much better than the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 In an obvious rebuilding season I would much rather look at ASJ and other young kids instead of a 31 year old player like Barnidge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I disagree completely, but we're also supposed to be looking at two young QBs to give each a proper live tryout. If Barnidge gives them one less excuse for failure, I can rationalize that. Similar to Powell (or Forte, but not both); they are both such reliable blockers and receivers, that it's easy to overlook how much easier they make it for a QB (despite Forte showing his age with the ball in hand). Where I have difficulty with such rationalizations is signing short-term has-beens on defense. All they do is rob potential future starters of snaps (especially with a veteran player softy of a HC).

Yeah I get that. It woudnt be the end of the world if they brought him in. But the Jets do have reliable guys at the skill positions. Even if they don't have any elite players. Decker, Enunwa, Powell, and Forte can all help a young QB. Barnidge's best value could come from blocking, if that's a strength of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
