Long Island Leprechaun Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 1 hour ago, ChuckkieB said: I would rather draft a RB in round 3 and work him into a starting role in 2019. Coleman would be a terrible mistake. Go big or go home. Mac's job is on the line so he should swing for the fences, not sacrifice bunt. Curiosity... why not both -- Coleman and draft a RB?

varjet Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 1 hour ago, slats said: Aside from the LaMont Jordan era, the Jets have been leaning on veteran RBs since Parcells and Martin. Without a second round pick to grab one of the top backs this year, I don't see that trend changing this year. They like McGuire and Crowell is still under contract. A guy like Coleman would be a strong and safe improvement to their RBBC. If the Jets had a second round pick at 3, I would roll the dice on that, ditch BPA and take the best RB available. You could probably say the same thing about Center. But the Jets do not have a second round pick, and there is no certainty that they get one. They need to sign a FA Center and RB that can be moved on from in 2 years, maybe 3, and try and draft better for the future. Bell is high risk and decent reward. Trumaine is not even bad enough to get Mac fired, and he was bad last year. Mac gives Bell a bad contract, and he shows up out of shape and/or demotivated, or gets into trouble, Mac is really done, fast. If Coleman is Coleman and he costs half as much, its a bummer, but not a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnitedWhofans Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 1 hour ago, choon328 said: I'm preparing myself for a very underwhelming Free Agency. They'll make 1 big signing on offense (Saffold) and defense (Callahan) and the rest will be 2nd tier guys. Besides the trade up for Darnold Macc has a history of not being aggressive in bringing in guys. He tends to make one splash and then look for value in average players. It's going to be terrible watching teams with half the money we have signing the players this team desperately needs. Hey but at least next year we'll have another $100 million in cap space in FA. I think they sign 2 OL and a CB and a second tier PR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'd be fine with the addition of Tevin Coleman. All of the Bell "ringers" would be wringing their hands with, "what will we do now?" after the predictable Bell romance leaves us being left at the alter. Coleman won't be on the market long, as the free agent running back market isn't exactly loaded with young talent The draft is also bereft of a ton of top talent. Our lack of a second round pick limits our ability to find a solution there. If true this is an attempt for the Jets to get out in front of a looming squeeze, and they should be applauded for their "foresight", for a change.

Persiussa Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I’d view the signing of Tevin Coleman as a smart thing and a better move. Yes Bell is great but the truth is it’s irresponsible to pay a running back that much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
