Tony MaC Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 This man just keeps finding ways to get paid. I cant believe he made it through his 27 million dollar contract and is now seeing a third one with a pretty lucrative amount. He's always done just enough to keep his job around these parts, and now he's turned that into another payday. 8.5 million guaranteed? That's more than he made a year on average here! He's got to give his agent a steak dinner for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 NFL free agency: Who could fill Jets’ sudden holes at CB with Morris Claiborne, Buster Skrine leaving? Bryce Callahan, Ronald Darby, Jason McCourty, more Updated Mar 11, 7:53 PM; Posted Mar 11, 7:35 PM New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (14, left) greets cornerback Morris Claiborne (21) at the start of practice on Thursday, December 6, 2018. (Andrew Mills | NJ Advance Media ) Comment 0shares By Matt Stypulkoski | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com The Jets entered free agency with a whole bunch of roster holes. Now, after one day of the negotiating window, they have another big one – cornerback. General manager Mike Maccagnan will reportedly let Morris Claibornewalk and Buster Skrine has already agreed to a deal with the Bears. That means the Jets will be without two of their three starters at the position moving forward. So who could Maccagnan get to replace Claiborne and Skrine and plug that hole? Buy Jets gear: Fanatics.com, NFL Shop, Lids, Champs Sports, Dick's Sporting Goods Here are a handful of options for both spots: Parry Nickerson, Jets The Jets took Nickerson in the sixth round in 2018 with the hopes that he could become their next slot corner. Now they have an opening there. Could they simply slot him in? It’s possible, but it remains to be seen if he’s really ready for the full-time role. That’s especially true because he’s still learning the position; he played outside in college and spent last year studying his new spot. Bryce Callahan, Bears Perhaps the Jets and Bears could simply swap slot corners. The 27-year-old has posted four interceptions, three sacks and seven tackles for loss over the past two years. That said, the Bears decided to let Callahan go in part because they have durability concerns, so that could be a potential stumbling block for the Jets, too. NFL free agency: Jets land Jamison Crowder; Buster Skrine leaves for Bears; favorites to land Le’Veon Bell or bowing out of sweepstakes? Latest rumors, updates, news The New York Jets are expected to be active in free agency. The NFL's legal tampering period started Monday at noon. Bradley Roby, Broncos This season was Roby's first as a full-time starter, despite the fact that he's 26. But he's made the most of his slightly limited time over a five-year career, tallying seven interceptions (including two returned for touchdowns) and five forced fumbles. He isn't a No. 1 corner, but the Jets wouldn't need him to be -- that's what they have Johnson for. Ronald Darby, Eagles Darby had been considered the top cornerback option in this free agent class, but his value took a hit when he tore his ACL this past week. That could make the Darby, who turns 25 in January, slightly more affordable, though. He has six interceptions through three-plus NFL seasons. That said, the fact that he’ll likely miss the start of next season could be a bit of an issue. Steven Nelson, Chiefs The Chiefs’ secondary was largely horrific this past season, but Nelson was the lone silver lining. He intercepted four passes, broke up 15 and tallied 68 tackles, including two TFLs. That playmaking streak would be beneficial for a Jets defense that suffered a brutal takeaway drought this past year. Nelson is only 26, which is a plus, too. Rashaan Melvin, Raiders He would be a cheaper option for the Jets. He just turned 29 in October. He has just four career picks, including one this season. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2013 and has bounced around, including two years with the Colts before joining the Raiders this season. He’s struggled to stay healthy and play full seasons, but that could make him a more affordable option. Pierre Desir, Colts Desir, 28, had a breakout season in 2018. He forced two fumbles, picked off one pass, broke up eight passes and notched 79 tackles. He's good in man coverage and has the speed to recover when he gets beaten, too. A lot to like about the late bloomer. Jason McCourty, Patriots Sure, McCourty is 32, so he certainly doesn’t fit the profile of a younger replacement. But McCourty also just proved his value by being a key cog in the Patriots’ Super Bowl victory. And stealing talent from the Patriots while also bolstering his own roster could be a nice added sweetener for Maccagnan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Lurker Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Sad day. Buster Skrine was an all time great Jet. I can’t wait until they put him in the ring of honor so I can once again gaze upon his great hair. It will rain penalty flags on that day, just like when he played for us. Memories......

I didn't realize, that would have been cool to get a late round pick for him. I dont like all the hate on Skine he plays some good and some bad, but I think he played alot more good than bad on our team especially compared side by side to the rest of the D. No. His contract just ran out. The could have cut him a few years back but Macc actually compounded his mistake of that signing by moving his money around and making him uncuttable. One of the worst signings by Macc and that’s saying something because he’s awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcoops Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Skrine has always been under-rated by Jets fans. Nickel is a tough position, and he is a good nickel. Yes, he got penalties. But he generally covered well and was a tough little SOB. Fans had similar issues with Ray Mickens, who was also a very good nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static14 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 The penalties always outweighed any good he did. He kept many a drive alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
