BCJet Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Impending free agent Ravens C Ryan Jensen intends to test the open market. "It’s been an awesome five years and I hope to be back here, but I’m going to see where life takes me," Jensen said. An every-week starter for the first time in his five-year career, Jensen solidified the pivot for the Ravens in 2017. He we clearing lanes for the Ravens' potent rushing attack. Turning 27 in May, Jensen would be wise to pursue every last dollar. This guy could really fill a hole on the offensive line and let the team focus on other areas in the second round. As a former late round pick, he is obviously looking for a huge payday, which we can afford, so pay him whatever he wants and move on to fill other holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony MaC Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 This seems like the kind of player the Jets should be opening their purse strings to. That he's only had one really good year gives me pause, but it would be nice to upgrade a position and have the ability to go elsewhere during the draft.

Untouchable Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 There are some really good centers in this draft (Cole, Ragnow, Price, etc). I’d rather take one of those guys in the 2nd round over paying $6+ million a year for a guy who is essentially a one year wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 QB and C should both be signed in free agency. Not going to lie and say I broke down Jensen's play but if he's good bring him in. With 100 million in cap space it will be nice to swing that hammer and use it to our advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Ragnow or Cole should be but it's a little risky. I think the C on the NYG is also a FA and not too bad (i.e. upgrade from W Johnson).

Patriot Killa Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I like the draftees as well but we should still look to add a solid C capable of starting. I’m really good with either direction tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCJet Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I like the Giants center too, but he has had a history of injuries, although he alluded to the Giants putting him on IR even though he was healthy. I like Ragnow too and he will be there in the second round, I just like the fact of using money to fill a hole with a proven veteran so as not to be forced to pick a particular position.

FidelioJet Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 We're going to pay a lot of people a lot of money and many fans are going to scream that Mac is getting ripped off.. But with our cap situation we have the leeway to overpay - to make sure we lock up certain guys. Like a Center. This would be a great signing.

bla bla bla Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 IMO this is the one player we need to sign regardless of how we want to address the QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 We probably will never have this amount of cap space ever again, for once we should use it as a weapon to get the exact players we want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 signing a 27 year old center rather than drafting one makes sense. Use the draft for skill positions - a 27 year old RB or WR has 2 or 3 good years left - while you can get 5 or 6 out of OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair, so where do you want to spend the $100 mil? developing OL is very difficult now with no practice time.

Then throw $6-7 million a year at a quality NT like Dontari Poe and use the rest to re-sign some of our own guys like ASJ and Demario Davis.

If you can sign a solid starter at $6-8M/year, it's a good move. Other positions of need -and the Jets have a lot of them- cost anywhere from $15+M/year (CB, WR, pass rusher, maybe even RB), to $30M/year (QB). Filling those safety jobs with free agents and drafting those premium positions make the most economic sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd sign Jensen before Cousins, need to show him that protecting him will be a priority. I'm not sure I'd get on board Poe because I didn't feel like that was an area of weakness but I like all your other ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackman55 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I couldn't agree more with this thread.....go get him! On 12/30/2017 at 8:29 AM, Mackman55 said: Bla you really nailed it with Jensen. One minute into free agency the Jets should announce his signing locking up the center position for next 5 years. He even looks a little like Mangold! The Ravens have only $10-12 million in cap space and many holes to fill. If we are going to draft a QB then it is doubly important to sign him as a veteran center can dramatically accelerate a QB's development through making the protection calls, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price looks great but he expects to be a first round draft pick. This is a position that will cost 1/6 as much in the draft, so Mac needs to figure out if he can wait until rd 2 to draft one. They will be gone by round 3. I think teams learned that lesson with Elflein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
