ElBarrioJets Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 This was a guy I was hoping they'd sign for depth last year. Had a good season in Arizona. Fell off the map in CHI, didn't fare much better in DET. Beggars can't be choosers at this point and they need depth. Still should probably swing a trade for a CB who can start this year/beyond - it's a necessity at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Well for all the hysteria, there's Derrick Jones' replacement (not that he's a real solution, but neither was Jones). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzor Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 He supposedly couldn't stand out against 3rd stringers during practice. Hopefully, Williams can get something out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 7th round pick by the 49ers in 2013. 7 career INT's, 36 PD's, 2 FF, 1 FR, and 1 TD. 4-INT season in 2016 for the Cardinals. Most recently he was the CB2 for the Bears for 4 games in 2017 before getting supplanted by Kyle Fuller. I'll take it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Not that it necessarily means anything but I think some of the new guys with the Jets were with the Bears when they gave him the big deal - I know Loggains the OC. Hogan, the Assistant GM was there for ages, but I think he was gone to the Jets or Colts well before Cooper got there. Not sure of any of the lower assistants. Truesdell sure is on the carousel.

We need bodies right now. Hopefully Johnson comes back in a couple of weeks, and either someone we like gets cut or we can make a minor level deal with someone.

Apache 51 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Updated 4:51 PM; Today 4:50 PM Jets land ex-Rutgers CB Marcus Cooper | 3 thoughts on signing 16 By Matt Stypulkoski | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Marcus Cooper is heading back to New Jersey. The Rutgers product was cut by the Lions on Monday, but scooped up by the Jets on Tuesday, according to the team. Cooper, 29, is entering his seventh NFL season and has also played for the 49ers, Chiefs, Cardinals, and Bears during that span. But the journeyman could become a key piece for the Jets, given their current crop of cornerbacks. Here are three thoughts on the Jets’ decision to sign him: 1. Smart, quick decision by Joe Douglas The Jets’ cornerback situation was ugly entering training camp and has only gotten worse of late, with Trumaine Johnson and Kyron Brown both picking up hamstring injuries. That forced Douglas’ hand – he had to do something, fast, to add talent to this team. Cooper became available and the Jets general manager pounced quickly, which is exactly what they needed him to do here. The Jets’ cornerback room lacks experience and Cooper has 74 games - including 24 starts - under his belt. All of a sudden, he’s the team’s third-most experienced corner behind Johnson and Brian Poole. Cooper didn’t play a ton last year – just six games between the Bears and Lions – so maybe he’s slowing down a bit. But the Jets’ cornerback situation is dire. Any cornerback with some talent and veteran savvy should be welcomed. Smart pickup by Douglas here. 2. Potential Week 1 starter? Cooper couldn’t stay on the roster with the Lions, but he may be able to take a big role right away with the Jets. If Johnson is out for a while due to injury and doesn’t make it back in time for Week 1, it’s feasible that Cooper could well be starting alongside Darryl Roberts – assuming he has enough left in the tank to leapfrog some undrafted rookies and former practice-squad talents. Even if Johnson returns in time for the regular season, Cooper should at least provide some measure of competition for Roberts and an insurance policy in case he doesn’t perform up to expectations or picks up an injury. 3. This isn’t enough Yes, Douglas helped fill a hole here. But this is merely one patch in a dam full of leaks. He has to continue to scour the free-agent market and waiver wire as the summer drags on and camp cuts are made. Hitting the trade market wouldn’t be the worst thing, either. This can’t be the only move the Jets make to fix their cornerback situation. They need to keep doing more to build depth and prevent this position from being a massive liability in 2019.
