Depth signing, Jets will sign more of these, not sure why people are freaking out. Seems like a solid depth player. Freaking out because we're greedy and want everything now!

Dinamite Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Same day that the other blocking TE, Daniel Fells, signed with Texans. Maybe this guy was second choice given prior rumors, but maybe he was first choice given familiarity with Loggains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzor Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Brown played just 23 snaps on offense last year. Compare that with his 223 snaps on special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not a blocking TE, he’s a special teams guy. 23 offensive snaps on the entire season. As for Fells, dude is 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenReaper Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Probably for depth at TE and ST's https://www.sny.tv/jets/news/jets-sign-former-bears-te-daniel-brown/305402398 The Jets signed former Bears and Ravens tight end Daniel Brown to a contract, according to his agent. Brown, 26, played in 14 games last season but did not record a completion on offense. He spent most of his time on special teams. Since debuting with Baltimore in 2015, Brown has 35 catches for 317 yards and one touchdown. Brown's signing adds depth to the Jets' rostered tight ends. New York also has Chris Herndon and Jordan Leggett after they did not tender deals to tight ends Eric Tomlinson or Clive Walford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Interesting. I thought they might have brought Tomlinson back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenReaper Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 https://www.profootballrumors.com/new-york-jets-rumors-news After a two-year stint with the Ravens, the former undrafted free agent had spent the past three seasons with the Bears. He was relatively productive offensively between 2016 and 2017, hauling in 29 total receptions. However, he went without a catch in 2018 despite appearing in 14 games (he also contributed on special teams). Pro Football Focus ultimately gave him adequate grades despite his low snap count. In New York, Brown should have a chance to play a backup role behind starter Chris Herndon. The Jets are also rostering Jordan Leggett. We heard last week that Brown had met with the Lions. That was the only reported meeting for the tight end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixhead Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Big big day for the Jets - signing a beast or Bigfoot of a tight end and a tattooed arm guy at guard. This rivals the big O-Line signings of last season - Spencer Long and Travis Swanson. My lord we were all hyped for Long and Swanson - they couldn't even make it on a 4-12 team. Now we got Brown and Compton. Compton and Brown. The new law firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Fells, dude is 35. Fells is 32, turns 33 later this year. He is a terrific blocker and would have been a good signing. I don't understand the Brown move. He's not a blocking TE, which we need, but a converted college WR who played special teams almost exclusively last year. Unless the plan is to sign another blocking TE and use Brown mainly on specials, I'm not sure he makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 On the bright side - I did enjoy the Da Vinci code, though I felt the rest of his books are a bit too formulaic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 As long as this deal is in the vet minimum range, I have no issue with the Jets grabbing bottom-of-the-roster guys that they like, or are familiar with, early. This guy wasn't signed to solve a problem, he was signed to compete for a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIJetsFan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I can't recall Mac ever signing a jag STer this early or ever in FA so I presume this move in on Gase. Nice to see a HC concerned with all three sides of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCP63 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I have no problem with this signing, though I do hope we address TE in the draft. They're becoming extremely important. Especially having the hybrid H Back that can block and receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
