CTJetsFan Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Free agent EDGE Ezekiel Ansah's agent told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport teams want more information about the pass rusher's surgically-repaired shoulder. According to the agent, they will wait to sign until after Ansah's four-month appointment in mid-April. Teams are understandably cautious given Ansah's injury issues and subsequent uneven play the last several seasons, but he is still just 30 (in May) and recorded 12 sacks in 2017. Ansah could end up being a bargain. Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter Mar 25, 2019, 12:29 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsherman28 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 We gave Anderson 8 million for the next 3 years. Also he had 4 sacks on 7 games played last year. Anderson all 16 with only 7 sacks but 16 QB hits and 7 tackles for loss in a limited roll sharing time with Shepherd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets are a building team closing in on the playoffs not by any means an established team that can take chances on post 30 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a lot of edge rushers over the years at their 30th birthday. That said I want no part of this one.

Stark Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Who really cares, Ziggy has been as up and down as there is, and he's always hurt. Pass on this dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc1 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Ziggy’s injury history is way too scary plus he’s strictly a 4-3 DE there is literally no way to use him in 3-4 unless it’s an obvious passing down on 3rd down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not that good, always seems to be dinged If you are talking about a superstar pass rusher's like Reggie White, Julius Peppers, then yes their career's were still very good after 30 as was Charles Haley,and Fred Dean who were basically specialists. With that being said there is no way in hell Ziggy is even in the same conversation as those guys since those guys in their primes were always in double digit sacks and Ziggy did it 2 times in his whole career. Those guys were always healthy as well which played a big part in their longevity. Paying Ziggy, a guy with 48 career sacks, the money he probably wants would be ridiculous since he does not fit that mold of "after 30" great pass rushers by any means and it's not even close. Now if Ziggy wanted a prove it deal that he can still play and stay healthy maybe you take a shot but that's the only way this guy should even sniff our lineup with what's available in the upcoming draft.

I hope you dont get me wrong, I want no part of Ziggy. Was speaking in general terms that 30 year old pass rushers arent old. I stand by that. But again, I've never been impressed with Ziggy, hes either injury prone or has a real low threshold of pain and takes too much time off for me. Cant imagine with his last decent contract he'd be more driven to work and get on and stay on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
