Mo Claiborne

[HawkeyeJet]

So a little nugget from the draft presser is that Macc said they are open to resigning Claiborne.  When publicly acknowledging something like that, it makes me think it's pretty much a done deal.

 

[Mac is a Tool]

Wouldnt be mad at all

[k-met57]

yeah i dunno about all that....i heard the same thing and just sounded like reporters throwing sh*t at the wall. he said something like...anything can happen, but he is rehabing right now.

Yeah, I caught that too.  I expect him back; and that is not a bad thing.  

[joewilly12]

What other choice do we have a no name who will get beat like a rug, no thanks. 

[Irish Jet]

We f*cking need something.

[Greenbloodblitz]

I think they'll take him back for half salary. I think it's Darryl Roberts time

[Rangers9]

I thought he was part of the problem more than he was part of the solution last season. He was often out of position and beaten badly on plays. It wasn’t all scheme him and others in the secondary didn’t perform. I liked him the previous season. I wouldn’t re-sign him.

Claiborne has been good to us I have no problem makeing a 2 year commitment with limited guaranteed the second year.

?Baby come back ?

[prime21]

Lets inquire on Rhodes.  See if Lee can get it done if not throw in a  late pick.

They definitely need to bring him back. Not comfortable with the current depth chart at CB.

I wouldn't be against it at all. You put him in press man coverage(which Williams would) and he's a servicable #2 CB

That's usually the case. I wouldn't mind having him back at the right $$.

[JetFaninMI]

As long as it's a Vet minimum deal or close to it I have no problem with it. I don't know what he will bring to the table but we could do worse.

No thank you.  If you sleep with a girl and you get crabs you don't sleep with her again.  If you do, then it's on you.

Daryl Roberts would have to be a complete disaster, to approach the ineptness of Delores Clairborne.  Look elsewhere.  Look anywhere...….

Hey, you can think about sleeping with Daryl Roberts all you want but the football team I root for still needs help at CB and Mo Claiborne wouldn't be a bad option to have on the roster.

[BigRy56]

Claiborne was OK for us last year. With what the front 7 is going to be bringing next season, less will be asked of him so he should be better by default. I'd prefer to flip Lee for Chris Harris, but this would be a good move.

[section314]

Watch the 2nd half of the Titan, Texan and Packers games again. That should end this debate.

My quote was far from a love letter to Darryl Roberts.   I would have liked to pick up a corner in FA or the draft.  We didn't. I expect us to before the start of the season.  Daryl Roberts was never given a chance to succeed or fail by the "genius" Toilet Bowles" and the rest of his mensa brigade of a coaching staff. 

He is faster than Delores Clairborne, and certainly has more of a desire to hit and tackle than that girlie man.  If it weren't for the focus put on Trumaine Johnson's failures at the other side, more light would have been shone on Clairborne's  totally inept performance at the other corner.  In the last five games he had one pass defensed.  Pathetic. He sucks, plain and simple.  We can do better.  We have to do better.  We can't possibly do worse.

[Joe the Breadman]

I dont think the Jets CB2 is even on the roster yet...someone will shake loose or get cut and Mac will grab him.

 

On the other hand I'm convinced that the current center Harrison 

[Adoni Beast]

We’d like this for a 1-year deal

You nailed it here!  Reminds me of Sam Kinnison in Back To School....."good answer, I'm gonna keep my eye on you."?

[Joe the Breadman]

Ooops Harrison WILL be starting.

I agree that Roberts is a better plan at CB2 than Claiborne.  My point is that we'd be a better team with Mo on the roster for depth.  An experienced, even if relatively slow CB, who has played at a high level at several times over his career is not a bad idea to bring back.

I wanted Julian Love from Notre Dame at the top of Round 4.  He was there.  We passed and traded back.  I really think that would have been a wise selection to sit behind Trumaine and Roberts this year and slowly rotate him in.  Oh well.

Ok. 

[Jetster]

Jets need to try & swing a deal for Chris Harris or Rhodes. We have the $ for either & we have the need. Harrison will be fine at Center.

[BCJet]

While its tough to say we wouldnt want Morris Clairborne at his current price with is probably 1 year and $4/5 million, we have young corners who could be better players and if we keep plugging holes with veterans we will never find out.

Derrick Jones and Daryl Roberts deserve a shot to see if they can be better players then Morris Claiborne, and I know Claiborne has the pedigree of a top pick, but he has never actually played that well.  Im personally biased towards seeing what Jones can do, and I wouldnt hate the signing, but Id like to see what these other guys can do, and let Nickerson have a shot to back up poole in the slot.

[Barkus]

Claiborne looked like he lost a step last yr. I’d consider for a cheap 1yr deal, not sure he is starting material anymore, plus he is another year older.  

[Scoop24]

please do it  I would feel a lot better about the position.. nice 1 ye deal until well can acquire a real starting CB ..  let Mo, jones Roberts battle it out for CB#2

If that was the FO's plan, everyone needs to be fired.

Agree.  From what I saw our CB's were the weakest link on the Defense last year.  Constantly out of position, constantly beaten for balls, constantly grabbing and drawing flags.  Glad Skrine is gone.  Glad they didn't resign Claiborne.  Hoping Williams can figure out Johnson. Disappointed Gase retained Dennard Wilson.  Hoping maybe Jones can play (looked decent against the Pats)...

I see no issue in letting Darryl Roberts, Parry Nickerson, Derrick Jones, Rashard Robinson, and Tevaughn Campbell all getting a look from a brand new DC.  See if they can be coached up and made better.

But there is also nothing wrong with bringing a guy like Claiborne in at a friendly cap number who will do what he does.  He isn't as bad as you make him out to be when he is asked to do what he can do.  Bowles tried making him a #1, which he is not.  With increased pressure we 'should' be getting, it will also help him out.

But I would like to see the other guys get playing time to see what we have.  No question about it.

[pdxgreen]

As long as Mo isn't plugged in at starter I have no problem.  He could still fill a backup role.  He's actually been one of Macc's more cost effective signings despite his wear and tear.  Think the injuries caught up to him.

Why???  That is part of an off-season strategy.  Teams are monitoring other teams rosters especially after the draft.  For example, Green Bay may want to trade center Corey Linsley after drafting Elgton Jenkins in round 2.  Linsley is better than any rookie center at this point and is only 27.  The Eagles, who presumably were interested in Darren Lee drafted Arcega-Whiteside in round 2 and may be willing to trade Mack Hollins (25 years old and is 6'4") or the Niners may want to trade Jordan Matthews (26 and 6'3") after taking two WR in the draft.

Mac traded Calvin Pryor for Demario Davis after the draft and before the season.  The off-season is far from over.  If Mac goes into the season with Harrison and Toth as their only centers, then he deserves to be fired.  I'll wait to see what happens.
