Larz Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Players on IR count against the cap so there has to be a financial reason for this The Jets have lots of cap space so it really points to a trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Didn't Cherone Peake have a nice TD catch in preseason from Darnold? He's got good size & the way Herndon & Leggett are coming on maybe Bates feels they can bring up Burnett, slide him into the slot giving Kearse some breathers, then have Robbie & Peake on the outside. 2 TE sets would have Kearse & Anderson out there anyway. I see us trying to go as big as we can using TEs, and flashing Powell out of the backfield, even lining him up as a WR now & then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's almost as tall as Pryor and I think he'd add something out there besides just being a ST gunner... I like Peake, but like Dozier, I don't see HOW he still remains on the active roster considering his lack of noticeable contributions, which are few to nil. 22 minutes ago, Jetster said: Didn't Cherone Peake have a nice TD catch in preseason from Darnold?

LIJetsFan Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 He's a JAG a best. Old in NFL terms and oft injured to boot. He's a bad locker room guy by history and he even complained a bit while with us. Never liked the guy in the first place and if it's true that he admitted to dogging his routes early on then def good riddance. 4th WR is the right spot of a young hungry guy not an old injured guy. Addition by subtraction imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer The Jets could try to re-sign WR Terrelle Pryor in a couple of weeks, when his groin injury should be healed, but there's no guarantee they'll get him back. I spoke to Pryor on Thursday, and he didn't seem happy with his playing time. "Throw me the ball and I'll make it happen," he said. A team doesn't cut a $4.5 million receiver over a two-week injury unless it's willing to live without him. Clearly, the Jets are OK with the prospect of losing him. He's been a contributor when on the field, but he has battled injuries since he signed — a source of frustration for the organization. He's also a high-maintenance player, but this is more about the injury than his attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer To replace WR Terrelle Pryor, who was released, the Jets promoted rookie WR Deontay Burnett from the practice squad. This will give them five receivers for tomorrow against the Vikings. Burnett is a former USC teammate of QB Sam Darnold. Their most memorable game was the 2017 Rose Bowl, when he caught 13 passes for 164 yards and three touchdowns against Penn State — the game that vaulted Darnold into national prominence.

GREENBEAN Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 2 hours ago, Mogglez said: He's behind only Robby with TD catches, has the same amount of catches as Robby, and is near the top of the WRs in terms of yardage despite getting little to no in game reps compared to the other guys. People are going to justify this because he complained once about being frustrated about his role because he feels like he's made plays in limited action (which he has), but if we sign Rishard Matthews I hope you guys all know that he has an attitude issue 10x worse than Pryor. I'm not a fan of the move. As much as I like Deontay Burnett from his USC days, he's not going to make any difference whatsoever. There is a better chance of him being another Scotty McKnight than anything else of relevance. This. i really don't like this! I am a big Pryor supporter and believe he was just beginning to show us his impact. I don't have the back story of course, but it looked like he was making an honest effort to be a team player and his talent is undeniable. This sucks!

BigO Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 2 hours ago, Barkus said: They probably have an agreement with Pryor. They are too banged up to carry all these injured players. He is not hurt enough to be put on IR but they need healthy bodies at WR. Look for Burnett to be added to active roster. Really hope this is the case. He was just starting to contribute. Really makes no sense to just dangle him out there and lose any rights to retaining him. He’s a big play waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wishful thinking that he'll be available, if, at all, we want him back. Some team with an extra roster spot could think it worth it to hold him if they expect him to heal soon.

Rangers9 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 He's a talented receiver and actually in a pinch can play Qb. I don't know if they are saving money but to me he's worth keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 2 hours ago, HawkeyeJet said: Why is it not true? How many times is Darnold going through his progressions to find Pryor? Pryor gets a designed target. That doesn't mean Darnold trusts him. Darnold scans the field for Enunwa and Kearse. He takes shots to Anderson and Pryor. There is a big difference. lol you have very little idea of where Pryor is in the progression of any given play. This is one of the sillier arguments I've seen on here lately. Even with your points, Enunwa is out which would bring him closer to being the hot read. Pryor has been getting more touches every week and there was a drive last week that Pryor had the two or 3 biggest plays. Then he scored the TD. Whether or not you like Pryor is whatever. The idea that Darnold wasn't getting comfortable with him or he wasn't helping darn old is thin man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdoublee Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Maybe there is something more to Pryor that we just don't know about... Cleveland didn't bring him back after a career year. He only lasted one (sub par) season in Washington... then they were ready to lay him out in camp this year. Bowles seemed extra agitated about his injury situation during preseason, and now this. Could be nothing, but he's too physically talented for teams to just give up on him like this. On the flip side, I like that we are giving Dontay a shot over other FAs. He has great chemistry with Sam, I'm eager to see if it translates to the NFL. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
