Barton Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I hear rumblings going around that the jets are trading for Azumah (the bears cornerback, who is pretty damn good) on the ***cough*** other 2 boards ***cough*** apparently sombody who knows somebody talked to azumah or somebody who knows him, and they said Azumah got traded to the jets and its close to or already done....take it for a grain of sand we better not be giving up anything more than a 4th rd pick for Azumah, he's good but we have needs and we have Derrick Strait. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4797 5'10 192lbs 27 years old 50 tackles, 2 FF, 2 sacks & 4 ints oh yeah.........HE IS A GREAT RETURN MAN!

MiamiJet Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I like Azumah, and he's not a bad player. I have first hand experience, being that I also root for the Bears. Azumah is ok. Sometimes he makes a spectacular play, but he also gets beat often. He is a great return man, though, and he would fill an important role here. He could be an adequate nickel back. With Mickens hurt and aging, it wouldn't be a bad option. Word on the Bears boards is that Azumah AND McQuarters might be let go. http://bears.hosttown.com/index.php?s=31dd96d4265c910b2771627cfe138513&showtopic=44735 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainzo Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 A UNH guy, right? Yep. Holds a bunch of rushing records as he was a RB in College. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YJF Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Yes. It would probably take atleast a 4th rounder. Maybe a 3. He's worth it. I don't see Azumah as a starter though. He can be a starter but I think he's best served in the nickel. Gotta love his speed, confidence and playmaking ability. He can run with any WR in this league. His real value is returning kicks. He single handedly won games for The Bears last year with his returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiJet Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Azumah made the Pro Bowl because of his return ability. I would hate to see him leave, but love to watch him come to NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen him return quite a few, and he doesn't run to the sidelines. I dunno how Ham will cope without a return man to complain about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiJet Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 PFT is an excellent source. Extrmely knowledgable and well spoken. It is possible that Azumah and/or McQuarters will be cut, so why not get something for them in return? McQuarters is expected to cost 4.5 million and Azumah 2.5 million against the cap this year. They are not worth that kind of money, especially when you have Pro bowl caliber players in Peanut and Vasher starting ahead of them. It would be fiscally irresponsible to pay nickel and dime backs that kind of money. At least one of them will be cut. If cut before June 1st, McQuarters would cost $2.05 and Zoom would cost $2.00 million. Afterwards, the hits are only $1 million and $500,000 respectively. My guess is that McQuarters will be the one cut, while Zoom stays in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 If we can pull this off it cures a lot of ills. Azumah would be sweet for kick returns and somebody you want with the ball in his hands off a pick. He can play situationaly, like in the nickle, and do well. Anybody have any idea what he's looking for? Can we get him for under $2MM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 While most of you are saying he'd only serve as a nickle back, just remember that this is a secondary featuring David Barrett, Donnie Abraham, and Derrick Strait. He could find himself in a # 2 role simply because of his speed and athleticism. Donnie Henderson can take care of the rest. If we acquire Azumah, I'd say that pretty much guarentees we will be drafting a franchise LT in the 1st round. That would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 F Donnie, can we get his a$$ outta here? Barrett-Azumah-Strait would be FINE BY ME. Barron, Barnes or Brown in Round 1 then. \:D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Provided that a tackle is still on the board, and they're worth taking. Well, considering there's really only 4 worth taking at 26 (Brown, Barron, Barnes or Terry), I would have to assume this would be the case. It's possible all could be gone before our pick, but is it likely? Well, let's just hope it doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
