F00tballGuy69 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I think this would mean his contract is done AFTER this season, not that he's released immediately. If I'm wrong, definitely bring him in. I don't know all that much about him, other than the fact that he was a high pick a couple years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished the year on IR, had ACL surgery in 2018, suffered a concussion early last year, etc. It's really about the injury risk. With that said, they may still want him but not at the price of the 5th year option. Could look to see if he stays healthy and plays well in 2019 before they try to re-sign him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Aren't they guaranteed for injury? I think teams are leery of being locked in at franchise contract numbers (Conklin was top 10) with injury prone guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant wait Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 he was signed before lewan really broke out and they just signed saffold to a big deal this offseason so they probably don’t have the money to keep him. he’d be an awesome addition 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The option is for 2020, so barring a trade, he will be with the Titans in 2019. He will be a free agent in March of 2020. This does no good for the 2019 Jets. Premature and non news. See me in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win4ever Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Not a great fit. I write about the Titans and the reason he fell out of favor here was because they switched from man blocking to zone blocking and it didn't fit him at all. The OL was much better when his backup played.Gase runs zone blocking and Bell is successful in zone blocking scheme.

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Well if that's true what Gase runs , than why did the Jets trade for K Osemele . K Osemele the Raiders got rid of because he didn't fit the blocking scheme anymore- zone blocking ( he's best in power man on man blocking scheme) and the cost. K Osemele lost a lot of weight 330 to 297 to try and fit into that kind of blocking scheme. It's going to be interesting what weight he tries to play at with the Jets, and how effective he will be playing at that weight. ( his whole NFL career is him playing at 330 plus) . Thats a big risk the Jets are taking there with Osemele . It's not like they traded for R Hudson who can play in any system, but was made for the zone blocking system. The Jets GM , and their coach better get on the same page. Know the system you want to run on both sides of the ball , and than get the players that fit that system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billneftleberg Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Didn't anybody here read that he was injured and that his measurables have significantly declined? If the guy is 70% of who he used to be how does that help us...? We're better off taking a healthy Edoga than trading for a guy who was elite but may no longer have the physical ability to be who he used to be. His own team declined his option.So only an idiot wouldn't take that as a warning that maybe he's no longer the same player 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have our QB, LB's DL set for the foreseeable future. Next yr. we will be picking in 15 - 20 range in the draft..... we'll have a full arsenal of picks to grab a legit & INEXPENSIVE OL.

He's enamored with signing JAGS on the OL. that are bargain basement prospects. He reached up for Shell with a late pick when he didn't need to and just refuses to invest in the OL with top picks. Getting quality OL prospects was way more important to address than DT this year. Macc the wack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would give up a 3rd (like the OP suggested) for a guy who looks like will be a FA after this season? That's the only thing that smells here. If we trade for him and then lose him in FA we are out a 3rd. rd. pick next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If healthy, (which is an important if for Conklin at this moment) he’s a top LT. I’d happily give up a 3rd to ensure that. 2 of our premiere position players (Darnold & Polite) are on our rookie deals. Would happily sign Conklin (if he passes medicals) to a deal that runs out when Sam is ready for a new contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His backup looked good in his absence and is a lot cheaper. Injuries, they feel he’ll just keep getting hurt. Can’t afford to pay what he’s going to be asking after next season if they pick up his 5th year option. Of course there’s risk involved, but risk I think worth taking. Chanced are almost 0 that Mac would trade for him. But I definitely can see us trying to sign him in free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
