Not sure what type of blocking scheme this guy plays but the lack of addressing starting C and cutting Spencer Long is weird. Why not do everything possible to address o-line and depth? Who knows and we still have the draft but it just seems unnecessarily risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 6mm/year for someone to play C. I really hope I am pleasantly surprised. Almost every time the board thinks the Jets are getting it wrong, we are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bla bla bla Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 considering the Vikings issues on the OL this year, I can't say I'm bummed we didn't get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the guys we've signed this year in FA, but remember way back when? ...Like two weeks ago? Those were the days when people posting here were pretty much divided on signing Bell, yet everyone said we had to address the OL and especially Center. Signing Paradis or Morse was essential. The other area that everyone said needed to be addressed was an Edge Rusher. Where are we now? We got Bell. No Center. No ER. No OL depth. How would we have reacted two weeks ago if I told you that? Would you have even believed me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 That's quite a contract for a guy who didn't play last year because of a neck injury. Prior to that, he didn't have much of a body of work, and what was there, was small and unimpressive. A lot of penalties. Seems like a desperate move by the Saints. We didn't miss out on anything in regards to this player. Speaks to the weakness of the market. Stay the course, draft a player, and see what we have in house, and what shakes out later in the process.

It’s just odd and something to be concerned about because I’m not convinced things are taken care of or ok until they actually are. We will see.

Or why he hasn’t drafted 1 before fifth round.. He is now has to try to draft a center top or 3rd round, or get into the 2nd.. that seems like a no brainer now, but this is mac we are talking about ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO I wasn't overly impressed by any of the OL FA. Maybe that's why Macc made the Oak. trade. I'm with you....he HAS to address OL in the draft. And I mean EARLY in the draft. Be saying it for months now...I pray we trade down into the 6-8 range and pick up extra draft ammo to fill some of these holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Smith Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I think we’ve taken some monumental steps to improve the team so far. There will still be more cuts from other teams with cap issues. I also believe we’re waiting on some players to drop their prices. Plus we have the draft. I’m not going to be too worried unless we roll into camp without at least upgrading one more o line spot and the defense. figured I’d get my optimism quota out of the way early this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I do seem to remember Harrison playing C down the stretch when Darnold was playing his best ball of the season. I remember Morse getting a huge payday and Paradis being afraid of big cities, and Anthony Barr agreeing to a contract before he refused it. LOL I also remember having a new coaching staff hired, and that the draft hasn't even happened yet. So, I'll let the off season actually proceed for more than a week before freaking out.

jamesr Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 If we'd signed this guy for 4 / 24 on day one of FA, the freak out would have been amazing. "He was injured all last year" and so on. So I'm not in the least bit worried about "missing out" on him. Doesn't mean to say I'm not worried about the position in general (echoes of Wesley Johnson ...). But the fact we've hardly seemed bothered about it suggests that the team are less worried than the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoni Beast Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I don’t think Harrison is the long term beast Center we need. I do think we need to sign a vet (1 year deal). But I think people are forgetting that Harrison was good/average last year when he started, which is the same or more production that you’re getting from anyone on the market. We’ll probably be drafting a center, and signing Sullivan and/or Sitton for a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we're going to sign a hold the fort / contingency player, you can do that later in FA, so you don't end up paying a backup guy starter money. Just hope Harrison isn't Wesley Johnson 2.0 ...

Im pretty positive one of our third rounders will be used on the line. Plus its still early in FA.
