Bleedin Green Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 6 minutes ago, RobR said: I think Harrison will end up being a great back up with positional versatility. I think you're probably right, but my point really being that a guy like Winters has done little to deserve simply being handed a job, so if there's someone who might be able to compete with him, nothing wrong with giving him a try. At worst, it gives Winters a little extra motivation while Harrison can know he's still getting an opportunity here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxgreen Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Depth at center is huge. Even if he Krall can't go many games, Darnold still has somebody he can trust in a pinch. This calls for a celebration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to this signing we had over $23M in cap space. also, just a feeling but do you think that Blake Cashman might make Avery Williamson expendable??? If so that saves about $8 Mil... I get the feeling Douglas is going to make at least 2 more moves before season, Corner and a possibly look into another OL move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as much crap as Winters gets here, and some deservedly so, he is still a better player than Harrison. I feel a lot better today seeing how JD just upgraded the weakest spot on our line. This has been quite the bizarro offseason for our team. Ever since Mac got canned it's been nothing but good news. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam has a year and a half of building rapport with Harrison and by all accounts, the online has been solid and cohesive in camp. Unless someone is hurt, I really think this is a vet depth signing. Toth may not be showing enough and the staff/FO worried if Harrison goes down (?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling Douglas is going to make at least 2 more moves before season, Corner and a possibly look into another OL move I'd imagine health concerns with Cashman will keep the Jets from being in too big of a rush to get rid of Williamson, unless they get a very nice trade offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't give a guy $8.4 mil after 6 weeks of convincing him to come out of retirement to be a back-up. I think he is being brought in to start. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTJetsFan Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Rob & Lith: you guys may be right. I hadn't checked the $ before I posted. Still seems very odd given the timing and how well the offense has looked in camp so far (per reports). I think someone posted that maybe they're bringing him in to play G (over Winters)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 If Kalil still has it this is such a smart move. Long Did so much harm to darnold early last year. And dumbass Bowles just let it continue. If you are going to over pay and over commit and take a chance I much prefer you do it on the oline. Now trade beachum and a low pick for trent williams and we are set. ? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't underestimate the impact of a 12 year vet to help Sam read defenses, set protections, etc.. As long as Kalil stays healthy, I think this is a huge move for Darnold's development.
