prime21 Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Here is an ESPN article on him from this past Decmeber. http://www.espn.com/blog/los-angeles-rams/post/_/id/39526/longest-tenured-ram-rodger-saffold-has-seen-it-all-and-wants-to-come-back-for-more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choon328 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 There are reports that the Rams are moving on from him and are not interested in re-signing him. The Jets should be focused on him and one of the Centers quickly and aggressively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustiniak Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 so he would replace carpenter, and presumably they'd have a new center at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Would be a nice addition. Solid veteran starter; 9th ranked guard last season per PFF: https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-10-immediate-impact-free-agents RODGER SAFFOLD, GUARD If you need immediate offensive line help, the veteran route is almost assuredly the way to go. Again and again, we’ve seen how steep the learning curve is coming from college to the NFL, with Saffold being indicative of it himself. He earned two sub-70.0 overall grades his first two seasons in the NFL and has only had one in a full season since. The soon-to-be 31-year-old is coming off three straight full seasons allowing 25 or fewer pressures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If true, Good sign for the Jets. Aggressive, proactive move to start off free agency. No downside with this signing, as long as it is for reasonable years and not ridiculous money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 This will be a good short term deal. 1-2 years. Probably have to pay a bit more for that, but with the money the Jets have well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I hope they’re aggressive about improving the OL in FA. Saffold would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills have plenty of cap but I think in a straight up competition, I'd hope the Jets were a more attractive landing spot based on location and roster (yes, the Bills are actually worse off than we are). So if that's the extent of it, I am optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harris Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Saffold is getting a little old bit is the best available Guard. This would be a big signing. get him AND Paradis and the line is majorly upgraded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkus Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Sign saffold, either Morse or paradis for center, draft a guard to push winters and a tackle with potential and the oline is good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untouchable Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Would be a nice stopgap signing. I know everyone wants young guys, but I wouldn’t get too obsessed over that. The Jets need quality players to help out Darnold, period. Even if they’re 30 year old vets on short term deals. Bell, Saffold and Paradis/Morse would be a pretty damn good start to the offseason.

varjet Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 The Rams have alot of good players and need to pay Goff and others. They cannot afford to pay a left guard. They draft 31st and 63rd. There will be a replacement guard there, In the latter case, likely someone that the Jets could have targeted in the third round. Saffold was a good soldier for the Rams and helped them develop Goff. Now he moves on and gets overpaid by a team that can't draft to conclude his career. Think about how great Faneca, Woody and even Kendall were for the Jets. Saffold can be something like that.

Should be plenty of teams that are interested, the 49ers amongst them. He said he wants to be around a winning culture and a stable environment when he spoke about the prospect of returning to the Rams, so the Jets will be pressed to convince him that we're going to be much improved, competitive going forward, and a place with a future. He's not going to be cheap, but we already knew that. He's going to be 31 In June, so you figure a four year contract would most likely be in order.

Probably have to pay a pit more for that, but with the money the Jets have well worth it. LOL We're not the only team that's going to be looking OL in FA this year. We aren't going to set the price for this type of guy, we're going to have to pay it. Guys like Saffold and Paradis are going to get big money and years. We've ignored the line for too long, now with a young QB finally here the chickens have come home to roost. We're not going to be able to dictate the length and terms to upper level FAs. Bad drafting has consequences, and if you have to go shop in the open market, you have to pay at least the market price, sometimes more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
