Duke Johnson Requests Trade... Jets among list of Potential Landing Spots

[GREENBEAN]

Any interest in trading for Duke? He would be a high quality second RB behind Bell. What would the trade compensation be? I would think Cleveland would want a pick for this years draft after losing their 1st innthd Odell grade.

 

I’d be interested but I wouldn’t trade any capital from this years draft. That’s for sure.

Next years 5th or 6th?

Or throw them Lee since we have done a few player for player trades with them. Unless we think we can use Lee as a decent trade up pawn in the draft.

Just draft Trayveon Williams this year.  Same player, except Trayveon will be 4 years younger an on a rookie deal for 4 years.  

[New York Mick]

Depending on his contract absolutely. He’s an excellent receiving back that can run a little. 

[Charlie Brown]

I guess all of the rumors of players not wanting to come to the Jets has been greatly exaggerated!!!

I'd prefer Montgomery, but I am with you with drafting a rb on a rookie deal than trading for a vet.

Love Trayveon Williams. I think he's better than Johnson and will go higher than most expect. 

[Joe W. Namath]

The only thing dumber then bringing in one free agent rb would be also trading for one.

RBs are a dime a dozen.  Draft them.

One that has 235 receptions and over 2100 yards in 4 years? Obviously there’s RBs that have done better Bell, Kamara etc but not a lot. He’d be a prefect compliment to Bell and give Darnold another short threat.

But the browns have the best offense in the NFL. I just read that.

I remember someone on here posted that they met Maccagnan at some event and Mac said something along the lines of them taking Duke had they not traded back in the third round that year. Real thankful we lucked into taking Mauldin instead.

He's a lot better than people think

yeah unless you want to win, cause if you want to win that he really never helps.

[MindOverMatter]

If we can get away with getting him for a future late round draft pick, then by all means. Much rather Duke backing Bell than Eli.

So any player on a bad team you'd stay away from? That makes no sense. He'd immediately lessen the blow of when Bell was out of the game bc he lines up all over the field just like Bell. And if it cost a 6th this year it's well worth it. There is not 1 player that you'd get in that round that would have as much impact on the team for the next 2-3 years than him. That's a fact.

45 first downs a season doesn’t help the team win?

You never know what kind of gem can be found in the later rounds. With that being said, i'd still grab Duke for a 6th. If we can get away with a future draft pick for the trade than jump on it.

About 4% of 6th round picks ever become starters. If you can get good players for any draft pick beyond the 4th round it'll have way more of an impact on your team than drafting someone in those rounds.

I think you may be right.  Unfortunately the Jets pick at 4-105 and don’t pick again until 6-196.  

[BigRy56]

He would be a great pickup

RBs like Bell are not a dime a dozen. He's probably the best receiving RB we've ever had. 

[GreenFish]

Good number 2 who can also play the slot. He would be a good pick up for the right price. 

McGuire and a 6th for Duke.

Or Lee for Duke. 

Or some combo of the above.

[Untouchable]

They’d be dumb to trade him before the deadline with the Hunt suspension.

And the Jets would be equally as dumb to give up anything more than a 6th round pick for a guy who isn’t going to see more than 5 or 6 touches a game as long as Bell is healthy.

Bingo. 2nd RB should come cheaper than a trade and vet contract. Our resources are needed in too many other spots.

People around here act like a guy who sat out a year of football has never pulled a groin and missed 4 weeks.

Duke Johnson would be an upgrade here to the RB corps behind Bell on the depth chart.

Conditional 7th and I’m down.

I think what some are saying here is why trade a draft pick for Johnson when we could draft a comparable player, maybe even better with the same draft pick we would have to give up. That way you get a younger guy on a cheap contract for the next four years. 

If it's a straight up trade for Lee than you pull the trigger.

We could also wind up with another Trenton Cannon..Duke Johnson is an instant upgrade here.

Fair enough.....especially with Mac pulling the trigger.

[Tony MaC]

With Bell here we're not desperate for some proven talent at the position, makes no sense to trade for anybody until after the draft if at all.
