British Jet Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 So Bell, Crowell, Powell, McGuire, Cannon. How does it play out in 2019? Got to be honest, I'd still like to see Tevin Coleman come in and back up Bell. Bin off Crowell. Do we say goodbye to Powell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-met57 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 i don't mind Crowell....i think Bell will be amazing influence on McGuire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggin94it Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Crowell is likely going to be cut (will save 3m in cap this year, 5m next). Powell is a FA and won't be resigned. Coleman will command good money and won't be an option. Depth chart will be Bell/McGuire/[draft pick or Cannon]. Likely the only other FA RB they bring in will be a camp body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTJetsFan Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I have no issue with them keeping Crowell (although I doubt they will). He's not a bad back. Keeps some of the heavy mileage off of Bell. With that said, they'll probably trade or cut Crowell and have McGuie be the 2nd back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heymangold Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Bell was signed to have 300 touches. Back ups in McGuire and Henderson are sufficent. Someone can be picked up in case of injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 They need to draft someone to groom. Neither of the JAGs behind Bell can carry the weight if he goes down or holds out or needs a breather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetFaninMI Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I wouldn't have a problem with re-signing Powell as long as he is healthy. This is assuming that Crowell is a goner which he should be. Never liked the signing and don't think he is anything special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdels62 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Cannon is shaping into a great special teamer. I think our depth chart will be Bell, McGuire, Cannon, a RB named Henderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sec101row23 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Bell, Crowell, Henderson, McGuire is fine. No need for Cannon, wasted roster spot. I would like to find a way to draft Trayveon Williams from Texas A&M, would be a really nice compliment to Bell and having both on the field at the same time could be dangerous.

RBs are at the best in years 1-3 out of college.We can certainly draft 1 late to compete as backup and hopefully catch lightning in a bottle, but if Bell is your 3 down back, there is little reason to invest much draft capital in that position. Would much prefer to take a swing or 2 or 3 on OL depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cro will be cut and we will take our chances with our current crop of RBs and MAYBE take a flier in the 6-7 round or an undrafted FA with some upside.

You need to plan for your RB to miss 2 games in a lucky year. We need someone who can hold the fort, and I don't see the sense in cutting Crowell to save a measly 3 Million this year.

They have slacked so much on OL and RB in terms of hitting on draft picks or even using them that they are still in need. Macc needs to hit it out of the park this draft or not even Le’Veon Bell will save him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Keep Crowell. I may be in the minority with that opinion but I like the Bell/Crowell/McGuire triumvirate. Keeping Bell’s touches in check will allow us to still extract value from him in year 4 of his deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 In terms of a second RB, you're not going to get much better than Crowell at 4 million a year. He is skilled enough to be a spot starter and a change of pace back. If we find another RB in the draft, I'd be fine with cutting Crowell. He doesn't make or break the Jets.

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Okay but the other 2 JAGs could be of use in other areas. Crowell is JAG who makes more money and is replaceable as well. No one is going to lose sleep over losing any of these guys IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
