chrisfaceoff Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I was talking with my friend about him yesterday, and I think this is a player who the Jets may look at for next year, but is it a good idea? The injury scares me, as well as his age that is creeping up there(hard to believe he's been around as long as he has already!), but if healthy, he could be exactly the type of player to help Sam continue to grow.

Barry McCockinner Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Missed 23 games in the last 4 years (assuming he misses all 16 this year) - at this point is he even an upgrade over D.

Lith Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 2 minutes ago, HessStation said: they already have AJ Green next year in Demaryus Thomas. Agreed. I would rather keep Thomas around for another year if we want a veteran presence at WR -- at least he has been healthy this season and has established some chemistry with Darnold. No need for two 30+ WRs taking up roster spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepPep Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The Jets will most likely draft 2 WRs and they need to start developing their youth. With Crowder already on the books and possibly Enunwa coming back (unlikely) I highly doubt the Jets will be signing the likes of AJ Green. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 It would be cool if there was a way to get a young talented wide receiver before he played a decade for another team and got beat to shit. If only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more defensive players RD 1 If Enunwa retires he leaves a ton of money on the table b/c he has injury guarantee money and a lot of it. There's really no reason for him to do that when he can AT WORST sit on IR and get paid. If the Jets cut him, again, they owe him a ton of money and there will be a ton of dead $$$. Him coming back healthy is the best thing for both parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The Jets aren't at the point where getting the last year or two out of talented, but often injured player is what they need. We need guys for Sam to build chemistry with, not really one-and-done type guys. There will be upgrades at WR simply because there has to be. But, I'd try to keep several of the guys who Sam has worked with. Obviously Crowder is under contract and stays. I think D. Thomas might not be a bad idea for another year or so. Robby is a wild card....I'd like to keep him but we can't break the bank to do so. He's a WR2/3. Vyncint Smith continues to be an intriguing guy and I'd like to see the Jets continue to develop him. The Jets have to Draft a WR, hopefully very early. Putting a new guy at the top of the depth chart (be it Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, Shenault, Higgins, etc.) would be great and would move everyone down a rung on the ladder.

Sperm Edwards Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 1 hour ago, Philc1 said: Enunwa is headed for retirement Agree the jets have to draft a WR. No more defensive players RD 1 Not while he's got an injury guarantee on his contract. However I'd agree that's more a cap situation than a real availability scenario. Even if we have to keep him due to a guarantee, and even if he's finally deemed healthy after his guarantee has kicked in, he can't be relied upon to suit up all season long. They'd be better off cutting him once he's healthy just to avoid the following year's guarantee also getting guaranteed. What a mess. Remember how $20MM in guarantees wasn't a real guarantee and don't worry the way Big Macc structured it he can be cut after just 1 year? Yeah, well if this most recent neck injury is a career-ending one, it's going to be $20MM for part of 1 game this year. $9MM signing bonus while he was on IR in December 2018, plus $1MM officially categorized as salary for 2019, plus $6MM injury-guaranteed salary in 2020, plus another $4MM injury-guaranteed salary in 2021. If he kinda-retires due to injury I don't know the process. He may have to hold off on the announcement, and be retired in practice but not in name, unless the team just agrees to pay it all up front as an injury settlement that gets refunded if he gets medically cleared to play elsewhere between now and the first week of March, 2021. @jason423 would have to chime in on that before I know if that's totally right, but I don't need him to tell me what a stupid contract that was for such an injury-prone player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way Godwin has played and them probably moving on from Winston, I could see them offering him to the highest bidder to recoup some draft picks. Issa no on Green though.
