jetstream23 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Quote Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer WR Quincy Enunwa has signed his RFA tender with the Jets, tying him to the team for one year at a non-guaranteed salary of $2.9 million. Enunwa, who missed last season due to neck surgery, is expected to be ready for training camp. He likely will be limited in off-season practices.

Beerfish Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 He is going to have to come into camp and look great immediately or he is a real candidate for being cut imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is not head and shoulders better than some of these cheaper guys he is a goner imo. (And I like the player quite a bit.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were even considering this, then they simply would have given the lower-cost original round tender. The tender clearly suggests that were concerns about other team's interest in him, and them considering his value to be higher than a 6th. While it's not impossible to happen, it would be more dependent on him looking really bad and them being convinced the injury has ended his career. Last year's rookies have a ton still to show, Pryor has as questionable of a track record (if not worse) than Enunwa, and Anderson is instilling confidence in absolutely no one right now. The Jets may have a bunch of WRs with plenty of potential, but the only one who is at all reliable amongst the entire group is Kearse. It will take a lot to convince the Jets they are done with Enunwa, considering if he were even able to simply repeat his 2016 performance, they'd be looking to extend him.

#27TheDominator Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 If you rate the best seasons of the Jets WRs Enunwa is right up there. Can you guess who is who? Who do you think had the best year? They are all pretty comparable and we have a pretty sh*tty catch rate. Josh Allen will fit right in!

rangerous Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 i like the way enunwa plays and conducts himself. he always seems like he wants to be out there and gives pretty sane interviews. hopefully he's fully recovered and can play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Maybe I'm wrong (does anyone ever say that around here?) but isn't ArDarius Stewart a similar player to Enunwa? I know Q is a little bigger but I would think that IF Stewart can step up in his second year, if Chad Hansen and look like a #4 or 5 WR, then the having Kearse, Pryor, etc. could really put Enunwa in jeopardy if for some reason the Jets want to use that $2.9M someplace else. Hoping for the best. I like Q and I really think he'd be a good asset for a rookie QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got great speed, add Robby, Pryor, Kearse and I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't see that happening either. He either can play or he can't, and he brings more to the table than most since he can double-up as a light TE of sorts. He's no worse of a blocker than some less-rounded starting TEs anyway, and few of them have his (once upon a time combine/track) speed. At the same time, I don't think the team would match any contract offer he got from anyone, just so they could recoup the draft pick. Even if it was for $3m/year from the Eagles (pick #64), which is kind of only a 2nd rounder in name alone (certainly not the caliber prospect they'd have gotten with their original 2nd rounder), but should be high enough to take a decent prospect anyway. Cap room - that level of cap room - isn't an issue right now, and if Enunwa looks really good again the one who should worry about his roster spot should be Kearse (who has just 1 year left at $5m). They'd save more by cutting him than Enunwa, and nobody was interested in surrendering much to Seattle for Kearse a season ago when he was only $2m. If Q looks where he left off before the injury, plus if Pryor looks decent, plus if even 1 of the 2017 (or 2018 rookies) looks good, and of course Anderson... yeah I'd be nervous if I were Kearse. I don't see anyone else rushing to guarantee him $5m for the year (it's guaranteed if he makes the team), and that's a lot for a vanilla WR who might be the team's #4.

Hoping for the best. I like Q and I really think he'd be a good asset for a rookie QB. Q's a huge WR; much larger - and surely much stronger - than Stewart. Plus so far Stewart has mostly looked like dogshit outside of that one nice catch vs Miami. Remember in early November Stewart's "I'm gonna bust this thing wide open!" after Kerley's suspension? He said he was going to bring a "load of awesomeness" to the offense. He should try catching the ball with that big mouth of his. Also Stewart was an older rookie. He's only a year & a half younger than Enunwa. Age isn't a factor for either player. I think he's more like Kearse than Enunwa. Enunwa could line up as a light TE, but no way either of the other two could. Kearse is pretty vanilla. He's nice to have around, but other than having more WR targets to have them just in case, for a rookie QB, I don't see how he's worth $5m to the Jets if Q returns to form. If both are healthy I'd keep Q over Kearse, especially with us so light at TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFaninMI Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I hope he can come back. They need him to be the player he was before the injury. Neck injuries are scary, especially for a TE. I wish him luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the Jets would be glad to take a second for Enunwa if that option came to them, and I wouldn't blame them at all for that, but that is also a pretty far reach from them considering cutting him. I would say it's a near lock that he ends up with the team this year on his current contract, only further supported by Macc's penchant for letting guys play out their deals. The only alternative possibility would be if Enunwa leaves them fully confident in his health throughout camp and preseason, there could be some early season negotiations, but I wouldn't bet on that. They would have to be convinced his career is over to do anything beyond those options. Kearse is definitely the more likely to be gone of the two, but I would consider that unlikely unless they were to get a trade offer. The Jets would need to come away fully impressed, and confident, with a minimum of 3 other WRs for that to even be considered. Even then, they might need at least one of those guys to be Stewart or Hansen, considering all of the other options either have 1 year left... or are Robby Anderson. Also consider, Kearse is one guy whom both Macc and Bowles seem to be very much on the same page about, considering Macc was by all accounts absolutely insistent on him being included in the Richardson deal, and Bowles immediately pushed him into a starting role. I'm sure neither of them are in any particular rush to get rid of one of the "wins" among their acquisitions, unless seriously convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 The Jets received good news, on a few fronts, regarding the wide receiver position this week. As we mentioned the other day the most serious criminal charges against Robby Anderson were dropped. The Jets announced yesterday that Quincy Enunwa signed his restricted free agent tender. WR Quincy Enunwa has signed his RFA tender. DETAILS → https://t.co/8lrb8h1w8f pic.twitter.com/8AIdwigRMe — New York Jets (@nyjets) April 4, 2018 Enunwa really stood out during his break out 2016 season. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound wide out had 58 catches for 857 yards and was being counted on heavily going into 2017. He was injured during the preseason and he sat out the season due to a bulging disk in his neck. He was originally a 6th round draft pick in 2014. For his career he has 80 receptions, 1,172 yards and four touchdowns. He will join Robby Anderson and Terrelle Pryor at the top of the wide receiver depth chart heading into training camp.
