varjet Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 We actively debate as to whether Robby Anderson would be worth a large multi-year contract with the Jets. Without Anderson, the Jets’ WRs would be Crowder and V. Smith. The Jets obviously need a WR, even if they draft one or two. It would make me a little jittery to pay Anderson a large contract. So this is where I get lost-if the Jets have one of the worst, if not the worst, WR corps without Anderson, and they have not renewed him yet and many in the know don’t think he is worth the risk of a large contract, why would another team pay him a large contract? Do they take greater risks? Are their WRs even worse? Maybe Anderson is not worth as much money as people think, and the Jets could sign him for a more fair/lesser amount of money. I think the same thing could be said about Shell, even as a backup. If a team with an OL as bad as the Jets don’t think that Shell is worth a lot of money, why would another team? And the Jets have been watching Robby and Shell for four years. I just don’t understand. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post T0mShane Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 I’ll be interested to see what Anderson could get on the open market. He’s been available at the trade deadline for the past two years and the best offer we’ve heard about both years was a fourth rounder, which seems odd considering the stats. Either he’s an outright jerkoff off the field, or he’s just so unreliable on the field (in terms of running routes) that teams don’t want him as anything more than a #3. Remember, he’s a 6’3” dude with sticky hands who runs a legitimate 4.3/40, and he still went undrafted. There’s something not right with the guy 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s something not right with the guy I think it's pretty clear he's dumb and lacks polish... And teams know the Jets aren't that high on him so they don't want to give up assets to get him. Because I agree, with his size/speed/ball tracking he still feels like a huge asset to me on a team with a good passing offense... The type of guy who just opens up the field because you have to respect him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Jets have been watching Robby and Shell for four years. I just don’t understand. I'm inclined to bring both back for reasonable contracts. For Anderson, he has speed. You can't teach that and it's the most important weapon a WR has. He plays an important role. taking the top off. So, yeah, you may have to pay a premium, but, to me, it's worth it for the continuity, the confidence it brings to other players the Jets want to retain in the future. And I think Anderson's best days are ahead of him, so let's let the Jets and Darnold take advantage. Yeah, he's a minor flake. But aren't most WRs? I'm not looking for a choir boy. I'm looking for a WR who can run and catch and contribute. He's not a No. 1. But he has a role and he has shown improvement enough to warrant an investment. Kinda the same with Shell. But, I don't think he's as desirable to other teams so I think the Jets can afford him. The question is his development. I think he's done enough, barely. And I'm a big fan of continuity when there is an upside. But I also see an opportunity for the Jets to upgrade the OL. So, if they end up upgrading significantly and losing Shell in the process, I wouldn't cry any tears. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeudy is an upgrade and the crown jewel of what is shaping up to be a special 2020 class of receivers. He's the best prospect at the position in almost a decade.

Remember, he’s a 6’3” dude with sticky hands who runs a legitimate 4.3/40, and he still went undrafted. There’s something not right with the guy It’s one thing to take a shot on someone with a year of guaranteed money. It’s quite another thing to surrender a day 1 or 2 draft pick for the privilege of making such an offer to him. Teams can probably talk themselves into his numbers being lower because it was the Jets (and they’d be better for their better team); plus whatever secondary stories it’s hard for a team to ignore his past offseason distractions; his general incoherence when talking/tweeting (and I’m not talking about obvious cultural differences between him and me — he does sound like he’s got no brains); and that dumbass hairstyle and vacant-eyed player profile picture is doing him no favors in combination with the 2 prior, legitimate concerns to teams that don’t know him as well as the Jets do. Why no better than a 4th round trade offer, but still might get a sizable FA contract? Really it’s kind of common, if not the norm. There are plenty of players who don’t garner draft pick offers in trade, yet get big money from someone else after the season’s over. Basically that’s every higher-priced free agent who was on a stinker team already eliminated by the trade deadline (like the ‘19 Jets). 2017 — No one even offered up a 7th rounder for Allen Robinson’s rights when he was on IR in 2017; then in March the Bears ink him to a $14MM/yr deal with $25MM guaranteed. What was the top offer we got for Demario Davis? Moncrief got $10MM as a FA that offseason, Indy had no hopes and knew it in late Oct, yet they didn’t trade him for even a later day 3 pick. 2018 — Wentz was healthy and on fire in mid/late October, but nobody offered up a high enough pick at the deadline for Nick Foles, who then got a starter’s contract after the season? Giants were a 1-win team and didn’t trade Landon Collins (or more to the point no one offered them a day 2 pick, let alone a 1st rounder, for a young probowl + all pro safety?); he got a $14MM/yr deal as a FA 5 months later. There weren’t any playoff teams who could have used a healthy, veteran TE having a probowl season for a blatantly-tanking Oakland team? 2019 — Anderson would fit right in with the above. Why wouldn’t the Giants get something for Eli Manning while they could? Washington with Scherff? Most teams don’t like trading draft picks away. It’s the best chance anyone has of getting long term contract tied to a cheap starter (and sometimes a stud/star starter, regardless of the original draft round). I honestly don’t get the long game Douglas is/was playing with regard to Anderson, especially since there have been no rumors leaked that the Jets were trying to extend him in Nov/Dec, nor that they are trying to lock him up now. How does a talent-needy team turn down a 4th round pick for a mere 9 more games of a guy who’s having a disappointing season at that stage, and is headed to free agency immediately afterward? I mean, did he not ask Anderson what kind of extension $ he’d be looking for, before turning down his top trade offer? The only thing I can imagine is he/Gase rationalized that a 4th rounder was not worth 9 more games of doing everything they could to further Darnold’s development. I tossed that idea out here in October, but I didn’t know RA’s line in the sand was nearly $14-15MM to keep him from testing free agency. Then again 2 years guaranteed at $11MM is a riskier team investment than 1 year guaranteed at $14MM, and I think that gets overlooked in favor of the latter number’s sticker shock, so who knows what was being discussed back then. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Cowbell Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 My biggest problem with Anderson is he does none of the things that make him a complete WR. I'm not saying he can't run short or mid routes, he does, but he is so mediocre at it, why would anyone take notice. What he does well are splash plays that get noticed by everyone. I would be fine trading him. I would actually try to get one of the top WR's in round one because the OL in this draft is very deep. Shell i would have no problem signing as well as Beachum unless we draft a solid prospect at LT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Anderson is for sure worth keeping as long as he does not ask for something out of line. The problem with Anderson is that although he is a great deep threat he does not translate his speed into big plays on shorter passes. We see the guys on KC get a short medium pass and have the potential to go all the way. As for Shell, maybe back up fodder but after a promising start to his career he has tailed off.

He still has to be strong and better at contested balls.

What is wrong with you? That isn't at all what i said. You want RB's that can catch a screen and get 5 yards, Bell can do that, so can Powell. Are either the RB the Jets need or rather Gase wants, I don't know. I'm pretty sure we probably move on from Powell and who knows with Bell. I'm sure he would rather be pkaying somewhere else after the way he was used. I mean forget we didn't run him enough, we also barely threw the ball to him. I have no idea who the RB on the Jets should be. it was mentioned we need guys who can catch and get 5 yards. Bell made a living at that in Pit. And you are worried about speed? There is a guy in the draft that is faster that Anderson and does all the things he doesn't Henry Ruggs. The guy runs a 2.2 from what I read, has a good catch radius, and id a run after the catch on short routes guy. We can draft him and get OL later. That probably makes the most sense instead of reaching for Willis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
