Patriot Killa Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 https://nypost.com/2017/12/15/austin-seferian-jenkins-wants-to-stick-with-jets-for-long-haul/amp/ If it is up to him, Austin Seferian-Jenkins will wear green for many years to come. A free agent-to-be, the 25-year-old tight end hopes to continue his career with the Jets for a long time. “They gave me a great opportunity, let me showcase my abilities, and I’ll always be indebted to them for that, and I want to be here,” he told The Post on Friday. “I love the fans here, I love the coaches, and I love the ownership. I love the management.” Until a recent downturn in production, the 6-foot-6 Seferian-Jenkins was having a career year, already posting personal bests in receptions (44) and targets (63). His 323 yards receiving are 15 yards short of his career-best mark, set in 2015 with the Buccaneers, and his three touchdown catches are one shy of the four he caught in 2015. But over the past three games, he has just five catches for 28 yards, which coach Todd Bowles attributed to opponents looking to take away Seferian-Jenkins, and wide receivers Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse getting more opportunities. Seferian-Jenkins, who joined the Jets late last season after he was cut by the Bucs following his second DUI, has done his best to show his value in other ways, like with his blocking. “I think the coaches, the owners, management, the fans see the potential I can bring if things keep progressing, what I can be,” said Seferian-Jenkins, who quit drinking, began attending rehab and lost 25 pounds in a transformative offseason. “I’m only 25. I have a lot of good football to play. I’m starting to play my best football. “I think I’ve proven to the NFL, to the league, that I’m a young tight end, a promising a tight end, that’s really coming into his own.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsplayer21 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hopefully the balls thrown to him in the end zone by a Jet’s qb will “ stick “ in his hands for once ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belicheat wouldn’t offer him much. Jenkins knows he would only at best be 2nd TE to the best TE in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j4jets Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 They all say the same old nonsense. He’s gonna sign whoever pays him the most, and no one will break the bank for Mr. Butterfingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetspenguin Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 How much is he gonna love us when there is a new gm, new coach and the fans get tired of him not bringing in those "unlucky" calls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I’m not a believer but proooooobably makes sense to resign him. They have nothing at that position, he’s young, the FA class doesn’t offer much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 ASJ, Leggett, Robby, Kearse, Enunwa, Hansen, Stewart... cut Forte, draft a RB in first 3 rounds shore up O-line with some of the treasure trove of cap space. move up if necessary to get your QB, resign McCown... punt Petty... This offense could be quite good next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony MaC Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 It just makes sense, he shouldn't be breaking records for how much a TE gets paid or anything, but I see little reason not to bring him back on a fair deal. 7-8 million a year should do it.
