JetNation Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News is reporting that Gang Green is looking to veteran receiver Donte Moncrief as a possible option to add some veteran depth to a group that’s in dire need of some. The 6′ 2” Moncrief would give the Jets another speedy receiver as he has been clocked as fast as 4.4 leading up to the NFL draft. From earlier: Jets plan on working out free-agent WR Donte Moncrief. NYJ looking to help their thin WR corps https://t.co/k1xUO9bSaL — Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) August 19, 2020 Moncrief has spent time with the Colts, Jaguars, Panthers and Steelers. In 77 career contests, Moncrief has logged 204 catches for 2,561 yards and 21 touchdowns. His best season came in 2018 with the Jaguars when he went for 48/668/3 with the Jaguars. Moncrief played just 8 games in 2019 in a season that was split between the Panthers and Steelers in a year that saw him catch only 4 passes for 18 yards.

jetstream23 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I'll preface this by saying I really like what Joe Douglas has been doing overall. But, it's very troubling that 4 weeks before the start of the season he's signing WR Chris Hogan and bringing Donte Moncrief in for a workout. Everyone and their mother knew that OLine and WR were the two biggest problems for the Jets this past offseason and the two most important things to fix around their hopeful young QB. I excused last season's panic signing of Ryan Kalil at Center because the Jets were in dire straits on the OLine. But Douglas has been here for about 15 months now....this isn't inspiring confidence at the moment. Yes, I know... he can't control injuries.... just like last year. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we'd signed Anderson AND Perriman AND drafted a 2nd WR it would still be one of the worst WR groups in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcoops Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Moncrief is talented, but he is the definition of hot and cold. He can look like an All-Pro at one minute, and like a camp body the next. He has had some success in the league, but he's maddenly inconsistent. Capable of catching anything, equally capable of dropping anything.

slats Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I think the organization had big plans for Vyncint, and now they’re scrambling a little bit. It’s good that Jeff Smith is showing up. Hopefully that translates to games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Moncrief is another guy like Meachem and Chris Conley that I really liked coming out. Great size/speed prospect. Like the other two, he never really put it together. He'd be an interesting guy to have in and I'm sure he would be fairly cheap. For those all upset that the Jets are still looking at WR, relax. They are probably running on multiple fields right now. They need extra bodies to keep the QBs working and just in case there are other injuries. It isn't an indication that our current situation is so dire. We knew they weren't golden at WR to begin with. For those wishing we had drafted Duvernay or kept Burnett, keep in mind those guys are primarily slots. The Jets are set at slow with Crowder and have Berrios to fill in. Those two guys will have a tough time moving outside. Burnett offers nothing on specials, so when the roster cut-downs come, guys like Vyncint and Jeff Smith both have a leg up on him. The may thing that having Moncrief in tells me is that a Demaryius Thomas reunion is looking less and less likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed his career with the Colts but kind of forgot about him when he left Indy. Still a guy who can give you decent numbers imo. 6 or 7 TD’s isnt out of the realm of possibility for him. He’s done it a few times. Still only 27. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Moncrief obviously isnt an inspiring name, neither is Hogan but that's what you get without a trade this time of the year. I just keep telling myself that Herndon really is a joker type TE and when Griffin his healthy (anyone know that time frame btw?) that Herndon would probably be the 4th WR in those type of sets and we'll just see a ton of Crowder/Perriman/Mims.

But he would inevitably have us all kicking the TV at some points this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need one of Perriman/Mims to become someone who can pass for a #1 WR almost right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS jets Fan Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Another great talent never lived up too. A journey man, might worth a look for depth purposes.

Paradis Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 *Donte Moncrief exists* Everywhere he's gone since his draft: failed to live up to his billing, constantly displaying poor hands, inconsistent and soft.
