Do we shop Enunwa?


bla bla bla

Recommended Posts

I'm apart of another forum and a pretty reliable poster there said he heard rumors that teams have inquired about Enunwa. He said the Raiders would like to replace Crabtree with a younger player. I'm not sure if he was implying for a draft pick or for Crabtree. Crabtree will be 31 in September and has 2 years $15M total left on his contract (20th highest paid WR at $7M + $8M), Enunwa would be $3M for 1 year if he is tagged with the 2nd round tender.

Kearse will be a FA in 2019 and Robby will be a RFA in 2019. I would prefer Enunwa but if we aren't sold on his health moving forward I'd be alright with Crabtree.  His deal isn't outrageous so we could easily take it on for 2 years as opposed to trying to bid on another WR in FA. I definitely would not want to move him for a 4th round pick or something like that. I don't think it changes us looking at WRs in FA or in rounds 2-4 but at least would mean more than just the rookies are under contract for 2019.

The only team I can think of that may be interested in Enunwa would be the neuro-orthopedic teams at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He had a broken neck. What NFL team would risk bringing him in?

A team that is going to cut Crabtree anyway. I think you'd only be able to move him for a player a team wants to cut who is on a deal higher than their worth. I don't think anyone will give up a draft pick worth considering, I think Crabtree would just be a healthy option under contract for 2 years.

Crabtree is terrible want no part of him.  if someone offers us a decent pick i'd thunk about it but otherwise no.  I think any move like this would depend on what we do in fa

It would need to happen early in FA because Crabtree will be cut before the 3rd day of the league's new year. You could probably get him cheaper in FA but he'd likely chose a contender than play here. I wouldn't mind looking around the league for players similar to Crabtree, players on a team that needs more cap space. I think we are better off keeping Enunwa rather than getting a draft pick, I think the best we could do is a conditional 2019 pick.

Trade him at his lowest value? No.

The alternative is him possibly not playing again. If we feel confident he'll return to form then we won't make a move like this.

No harm in placing that second round tender and listening to offers. If they make WR (Jarvis Landry?) a priority in free agency, I'd be very happy to get a third round pick for him, and probably content with a fourth rounder. His health is a concern, rust coming off a missed season is a concern, and, while a nice player, I never got the Jet fan hype that surrounds the guy in the first place.

Wasn't a broken neck, it was a bulging disc problem. Something he can recover from easily.

What this post does, perhaps inadvertently, is lay out another position group that the Jets are pretty much hosed in for 2019.  

If Stewart and Hanson do not work out, this is another group that needs a complete rebuild.  

And where is the OL in 2019, best case?   

This roster is so poorly constructed.

Agree Devin Smith,Jalin Marshall,Charon Peake what and where are they?  

Do the Jets draft players for future consideration or what.

You're absolutely right - eff!  And this is Macc's 4th offseason.  He really needs to crush it this offseason.

Anderson isn’t going to be playing the full season if at all so they need WRs.

Hopefully Stewart and Hansen can take steps forward next season. Both were considered pretty solid picks when they were drafted. I like Hansen a lot. Regardless, we still need to be looking at it least one FA Wide Receiver who can come in and be a legit threat for us right away.

To be fair to Peake and Smtih, they've battled injuries. Marshall is what he is IMO, he was an UDFA for a reason. Peake was a late round pick and Smith, injuries or not, is a bust.

We need guys like Stewart and Hansen to step up and provide us with quality depth but we also need to be looking into acquiring a starting caliber receiver.

Agree then why are they still on the roster between them and Hackenberg its like we're a storage facility for "what-if" football players.

Enunwa has given above and beyond maximum effort since the very beginning...he stays until it’s concrete he’s not fully recovering. If you have to invest a couple dollars on him, you do it.

Isn't his contract up wouldn't we need to resign him in order to trade him?

He's a RFA, he'll likely be tendered

I mean yes we don't have much in 2019 at this point but you are missing an entire offseason and regular season from the equation. If we assume the absolute worst then we don't add any WR at any point over the entire year, Enunwa can't come back, Kearse doesn't want to resign, Robby is in jail, and the young WRs don't work out. I know we don't have the best luck but I'd buy a lottery ticket if all that happened.

On the flip side I think we do resign Kearse or Enunwa after the season. If Enunwa is healthy he is the obvious answer and if not then Kearse would be retained. I think we likely tender Robby next year (I don't think he'll get jail time) so he'll cost $4M or so. I think the goal would be to have the 2nd year players take another step forward. I do think we add at least 1 WR this offseason.

OL in 2019 at best: Beachum - Nelson - Jensen - Winters - Shell    or    Beachum - Norwell - Jensen - Winters - Shell    or      2019 FA/rookie LT - Norwell/Nelson - Jensen - Winters - Shell. 

I think OL is an area we should pay big bucks to in FA, if we don't sign Cousins then I absolutely would make Jensen and Norwell the highest paid at their position. I think we are actually in a decent spot right now to upgrade the OL but we'll be able to give an accurate worst case scenario after FA.

No no no.  The kid is 25.  He showed signs of being a really good wide receiver.  Yes it was a neck injury and neck injuries are really bad but I'm not going to write the kid off before he even steps back on the field.  

I don't think we'd make this move if Enunwa were healthy

Will Bowles give the young guys a a chance is the bigger question. 

I'm sort of surprised how fans view WRs these days, it used to be common that WRs wouldn't break out until year 3 now you really need to show your worth early. I think the young guys will get plenty of reps this year, Kearse and Kerley were brought in because of the injuries to Enunwa and Stewart.

WR takes time coming in as Rooks. I'm glad they are keeping Bates so Stewart, Hansen, Leggett, Tomlinson, Sterling, all these young players are already comfortable. I want 1 free agent & 1 guy only at the skill position & that's Jarvis Landry! Landry & OBJ have been a friendly competition since college & Landry would always be engaged in NY with friend & rival playing in the same stadium. Landry is a competitor who brings an a nasty edge to his play. 

With hopefully Enunwa coming back, Landry, Kearse are all ballers. Stewart in very limited playing time did show some toughness catching in traffic. Hansen too. Add a bad azz RB like Sony Michel catching out of the backfield I think we'd have a tougher scruffy hustling offense.
