While the alleged victim didn't suffer any significant injuries, he said Fowler threw his grocery bag in a lake.

Larz Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 This previous incident seemingly was never reported last offseason, but as Auman tweeted court records show he was arrested in Miami, just a few weeks after the video of Fowler “refereeing” a fight between his ex-girlfriend and girlfriend at the time.

Larz Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 the first altercation, Fowler shoved O’Shaughnessy out of bounds after he caught a pass from quarterback Blake Bortles. The shove resulted in a scuffle between the two, which Ramsey also got involved in. Once practice was over with, Fowler then got into a heated argument with Ngakoue, and had to be separated by several teammates in the process. Fowler was just recently cleared to practice Saturday after he spent the training camp days prior on the PUP list with a shoulder injury. Once he returns from his one-week suspension, he’ll only have two preseason games to participate in — against the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After that, Fowler will have to serve a regular-season suspension against the New York Giants. That suspension was a direct result of his arrest last season for a physical altercation he had with a St. Petersburg, Fla., man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like you, and seem like a sensible guy.... wake up my friend. the hit rate on Pass Rushers is less that something like 20%. Not the Jenkins variety we presently roster. The Abraham, Freeney, Miller, etc variety, who are debateably harder to hit on than QBs. "Teams do it all the time, and come away with studs" no they don't. They really, really don't. They often reach in the first 2 rounds and end up with UNDER-PERFORMING prospects like Leo Floyd. Kevin Dodd. Dante Fowler. Shane Ray. Bud Dupree (remember that fcking guy), Jarvis Jones, Marcus Smith, Dee Ford etc etc etc Unless you're landing THE TOP pass rush prospect, then it's a dice-roll. A bad one. *********** Solution; try everything. Sign FAs, trade for Fowlers, draft one if you can.

Larz Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I dunno He's talented and all but going from Coughlin to Bowles can we expect better behavior? He would probably feel like he was rewarded and set free I still say use all the resources to build an offense around Darnold and draft a pass rusher next year its supposed to be a good class for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be the best pass rusher the Jets have had in 10 years since J-Abe. I think it's worth a flier. He's on the last year of his rookie deal and will be a Free Agent. The jets could always just bench him or ban him or not resign him. All his troubles are the only reason he is available. A young talented #3 overall worthy pick entering his prime is just too tasty to pass up for me. There's basically no commitment. If he is a bad locker room guy or gets in trouble you can wash your hands of him easily. But IF....!!! IF it works out and he somehow gets his sh*t together we have THE BIGGEST PIECE OF THE PUZZLE ON DEFENSE AND THE HARDEST TO FIND. And then ALL our draft capital next year goes into a strong offensive line rookie class coming out next year. Huge upside move - only a little bit of downside being we can cut him loose easily at anytime this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always the catch, why is his team letting him go? You would hope it's money, but when it's character it's a Yoog gamble. He would be my preference by miles over Shane Ray. That guy is a major disappointment. I have always felt a good locker room cab handle 1 maybe 2 idiots but when it gets up to 3 or more you are asking for trouble. I think donohue is a goner so the Jets have Anderson and I think 1 other, Herndon but I'm hopeful that was an isolated deal.

Teams do it ALL the time and come away with studs. Fowler is a better option ONLY if he stays healthy and doesn't get suspended. That's the rub. If Fowler had 8 sacks and didn't have previous injury issues and other off field concerns BELIEVE ME, the Jags would hesitate to pay him big money. Because 8 sacks is not all that impressive. Not if you are going to invest a ton of money into a player. Last year there were 30 players in the NFL with more sacks than Fowler. Just saying. I believe the Jets should either draft a Pass Rusher next year or sign a proven pass rusher in FA rather than trading away assets for one. And hey, that's JMHO. I think it has to do with a combination of things, but the summary is they simply don't need him. 3 of his teammates had 8-15 sacks apiece last year, plus they still have Miles Jack who'd surprise nobody if he had 8-10 himself next year. Between the headaches he brings and his injury history and simply not needing him, in their spot I wouldn't exercise his 5th yr option either. Not at $14.2m anyway; all it takes is one injury Fowler nurses and that $ becomes guaranteed. Yeah sure 8 sacks in the reg season isn't rewriting record books of course, but he wasn't even on the field half the time for Jax. Would he have had more sacks if so many others didn't get to the QB first or if he was starting? Maybe, maybe not. In the end, he's just a far bigger need here than there. We have no one and he's a talented guy who's attainable so it's worth the risk if the price is right. That's all this chatter is about. It'd fit very neatly if we flipped TB for him and he worked out, filling the edge rusher position with a recent top 3 draft pick, instead of borrowing unneeded TB for 1 season, while leaving our own 2019 1st & 3rd rounders intact. Possibly even getting another pick back. Plus the time to acquire him is before he's reached his potential, not after (at which point he'd be unavailable anyhow).
